Vikings Say Goodbye to 15 Players

General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell have a hard task leading up to the deadline on Tuesday at 3 p.m. when rosters must be reduced to 53 players. Telling players that they will be released is perhaps the hardest part of their jobs because they might shatter the dreams of those athletes.

O’Connell was in that exact same situation, and it was even filmed by the Hard Knocks crew when he was released by the New York Jets.
