The Minnesota Vikings have been making moves on the Friday before free agency. In a surprise announcement Friday afternoon, the team announced they’d be waiving cornerback Cam Dantzler.
This brings the Vikings’ total cuts up to three, as they moved on from linebacker Eric Kendricks and wide receiver Adam Thielen. While fans were prepped for the possibility of Kendricks and Theilen being released from the team, Dantzler’s departure was a major surprise, and it’s getting mixed reactions from Vikings fans.
Some fans are sad
Man i like Cam Dantzler

#Vikings fans bid an emotional farewell to Adam Thielen. And Cam Dantzler is gone too now I guess.

Other fans are embracing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's moves
22 pounds lighter than cam Dantzler who also had concerns about his size coming out.
I personally don’t see it as a massive issue. But some will https://t.co/iIKFNfK9mX

The Minnesota Vikings front office is making a clear statement. We are moving forward in our own vision, The Spielman/Zimmer era is over. It's the Kwesi/Kevin era

A surprising move!
Kwesi and KOC are doing everything this offseason that people anticipated last year.
They saw what they needed to make a true evaluation, now they are making the moves necessary to usher in their vision for this team https://t.co/U646TMW1jg
