Among the moves that the Minnesota Vikings made on Tuesday prior to hitting the NFL roster deadline was releasing defensive end Everson Griffen and long snapper Andrew DePaola. Today, they brought those two players back while releasing another member of their special teams unit.
The Vikings have announced the re-signings of both Griffen and DePaola, so the team has their long snapper back. However, the team has released the player that pretty much all of DePaola’s snaps were going to in punter Britton Colquitt.
Colquitt was signed by the Vikings in 2019 and had signed a three-year, $9 million extension in 2020.
