Ameer Abdullah was a serviceable returner for the Vikings last season. He’s also capable of playing running back.
But with Minnesota drafting K.J. Osborn, who was a promising return man for Miami in college, and having strong depth at running back, Abdullah might be out of a roster spot eventually.
That’s what Bleacher Report thinks, anyways. The outlet recently listed Abdullah as the top player that Minnesota should cut. Here’s what it said about the veteran:
“Providing insurance for a potential Cook holdout won’t be necessary as the Pro Bowler is focused on playing in Week 1, not on his contract, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Minnesota can save $750,000 by cutting Abdullah. It’s a move that makes as much sense for the roster spot as it does for the extra cash.”
Recently Vikings Wire tabbed Abdullah as a player who Minnesota could keep on its protected practice squad. You can read about why here.
