The Vikings announced on Tuesday that they have released long-time tight end Kyle Rudolph.
The move didn’t come as much of a surprise considering the Vikings saved more than $5 million.
During his 10-year career with the Vikings, Rudolph made $50.87 million per Spotrac. More than $16 million of that came in the last two seasons.
We’ll see if Rudolph, 31, decides to sign with a new team and add to that total.
In the meantime for the Vikings, we can expect to see 2019 second-round pick Irv Smith Jr. get the majority of the reps at tight end.
