Cornerback Melvin White released by the Minnesota Vikings

It seems as though the Minnesota Vikings are starting their cuts early. Typically, squads wait until closer to the deadline to bring their team down to 75 players to begin announcing players they have released, but one player was let go today.

The team recently announced on their Twitter account that they have released cornerback Melvin White.

White was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers before becoming a member of the St. Louis Rams practice squad during the 2015 season. Afterwards, he was signed to a reserve/futures contract by the Minnesota Vikings on January 15, 2016 for 1 year worth $600,000.
