Vikings | Two Vikings released Tue Aug 27, 09:39 AM
Minnesota Vikings CB Bene Benwikere and WR Jordan Taylor were released Tuesday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings give Taylor a bit of a head start here. He was competing for a spot at the end of the bench at the wide receiver position. Taylor is big and fast but runs a limited route tree. Perhaps he'll wind up back with the Broncos, the team that originally picked him up as an undrafted free agent out of Rice in 2015. |
