Vikings Waive Wide Receiver, Free Agent WR Options Dwindling

The Vikings announced on Tuesday that they waived wide receiver Daylen Baldwin. The move gets their offseason roster back down to the 90-player maximum after punter Seth Vernon was signed last week.

Baldwin played college football at Morgan State and Jackson State before transferring to Michigan in 2021, where he played with J.J. McCarthy. A 6’2″ receiver, he went undrafted in 2022 and spent his rookie season on the Browns’ practice squad. He then signed with the Vikings last November.

With rookie minicamp coming up this weekend and OTAs getting going after that, there will likely be more churn at the bottom of the Vikings’ roster in the near future as they look to find every possible edge on the margins and create the most competitive 90-man group they can.

Boyd signs with Titans

Longtime former Bengals receiver Tyler Boyd is signing a one-year deal with the Titans, per multiple reports. He was one of the best remaining WRs on the market. Boyd, who had two 1,000-yard seasons earlier in his career, reunites with Titans head coach and former Cincinnati offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. The Vikings reportedly never had any interest.

Among the notable names still out there are Hunter Renfrow, Michael Thomas, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Zay Jones, Russell Gage, and Allen Robinson.
