Of the 1,500+ total players in the NFL, Bleacher Report has selected Vikings left tackle Riley Reiff as a candidate for cap casualty this offseason. What are the odds that a good offensive lineman would be the target of the Vikings cap-casualty affection? Strange days.
Bleacher Report titles these “surprising cuts,” and an all-out release of Reiff would be somewhat surprising for the Vikings – but not stunning. Reiff is slated to be the third-highest paid Vikings player in 2021 with quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive end Danielle Hunter the only two men earning more cash than Reiff.
