The deadline came and went without the Minnesota Vikings picking up center Garrett Bradbury’s fifth-year option, which was worth a little over $13 million in 2023.
It’s no surprise considering the change in regimes, along with the fact that Bradbury has underperformed since being taken with the No. 18 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.
According to the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson, the plan is still for Bradbury to start in 2022 with the possibility of him being re-signed once his contract comes due. The team doesn’t have a lot of competition behind him capable of slotting into center outside of Austin Schlottmann and undrafted rookie free agent Josh Sokol.
