Vikings Forfeit 7th-Round Draft Pick, Execs Fined for 2019 Salary-Cap Violation
The Minnesota Vikings have forfeited a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft due to a salary-cap violation committed two years ago, per Marc Craig of the Star Tribune. Three Vikings executives were also given $10,000 fines.
Per Craig, the NFL's decisions stemmed from a violation the team committed related to a practice squad player's contract.
Minnesota has notably taken its seventh-round pick off its official team website list of upcoming selections, per Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
