Recently, the Minnesota Vikings were faced with a tough roster decision. Cornerback Josh Robinson was returning from a pectoral injury and the team had to either release him or activate him to the main roster. When Robinson was activated, the team had to let one player go from the main roster. That man was tight end Chase Ford.
Ford has been a solid tight end for the Vikings. He’s shown that he can be a capable pass catcher as well as a willing blocker. When the news struck that he had been cut, much of the Minnesota Vikings fan base were worried that it would be the last that we’ve seen of him, as Ford would be able to be claimed on waivers by any NFL team looking for a tight end.
