The Minnesota Vikings Players in the Most Danger of Being Cut

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for the 2026 NFL preseason and are deciding which players might be cut from the team. Some players, including quarterback Max Brosmer, linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., and safety Tavierre Thomas, face tough competition for a spot on the Vikings' roster.

Key Facts

  • The NFL preseason starts with the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers playing the Hall of Fame Game on August 6, 2026.
  • The NFL regular season begins on September 9, 2026, with a game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.
  • The Vikings may trade quarterback J.J. McCarthy before the season starts, which could affect Max Brosmer’s chances to make the team.
  • If Minnesota keeps McCarthy, Brosmer might not keep a spot on the final 53-man roster but could join the practice squad.
  • The Vikings signed Jamal Adams, who changed from safety to linebacker, and drafted linebacker Jake Golday, creating competition for Ivan Pace Jr.
  • Ivan Pace Jr. is 25 but has shown less production in recent years and might be crowded out by bigger linebackers.
  • The Vikings released longtime safety Harrison Smith, opening a position, but Tavierre Thomas, age 30, may lose out to younger safeties like Theo Jackson.
  • Josh Metellus is expected to hold one of the starting safety spots for Minnesota.
