Vikings Vice President Rob Brzezinski is renowned as a salary cap "wizard.''
He should be known as Rick Spielman's enabler. A mistake mitigator. A cleaner.
A capologist like Brzezinski is like a heart surgeon. If you need one, you want the best, but it's better not to need one.
The Vikings' release of tight end Kyle Rudolph last week spurred a number of feel-good stories about his character. They're accurate. He's a quality human, teammate, philanthropist and player.
In football terms, the more meaningful aspect of his release is the flawed thinking that led to his last contract.
