Minnesota Vikings add former Browns punter, cut Matt Wile

It seemed like the Minnesota Vikings were pretty set with Matt Wile as their punter for the upcoming regular season. Wile was able to keep a spot on the Vikings’ 53-man roster despite the team trying to replace him with Kaare Vedvik.

Well, just a day after finalizing their final 2019 roster, Minnesota has decided to bring in someone new to take over their punting duties this season.

On Sunday, the Vikings opted to sign former Cleveland Browns punter Britton Colquitt according to the Star Tribune’s Andrew Krammer. Colquitt has been in the NFL since 2010 and he was recently let go by the Browns, who decided to go with a cheaper option as their punter for the upcoming season.
