When the Minnesota Vikings released Garrett Bradbury, it was reported that he would be designated as a post-June 1st release, which allows the Vikings to shift more of the deadcap hit for releasing Bradbury into next year. That’s typically a move teams make when they don’t have a lot of cap space to work with in the current year- but the Vikings have over $30 million in cap space remaining this year.
That begs the question of why would they feel the need to do that?
