The Vikings have waived starting cornerback Bashaud Breeland after he had a verbal altercation with his teammates and coaches earlier this week, per reporting by Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The Vikings signed Breeland last offseason to a one-year, $3 million contract. He had started all 13 of Minnesota’s games this season.
Every other NFL team will have the opportunity to claim Breeland off waivers over the next few days. If he goes unclaimed, he will become an unrestricted free agent. Given his relatively small salary and solid track-record, though, it would not be at all surprising to see him claimed.
