The Vikings freed up more space by bidding farewell to a veteran defensive lineman.
The team announced that the defensive tackle Shamar Stephen was launched on Tuesday. The move will free up $ 3.75 million in capitalization space, with more than $ 1.333 million in dead money left behind.
Stephen’s departure comes a day after the Vikings agreed to a deal with Dalvin Tomlinson.
Stephen opened his career by spending four years with the Vikings and returned to Minnesota in 2019 after spending a season with the Seahawks. He appeared in 31 games during his second spell with the team and had 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in those appearances.
The Vikings also put Jaleel Johnson as a free agent, so Stephen may not be the only veteran to move this season.
