Minnesota Vikings Face Roster Uncertainty Amid Diggs Free Agency and Potential Cuts

Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs remains unsigned after a season with the New England Patriots that included over 1,000 receiving yards and a Super Bowl appearance. In a recent training‑camp video, Diggs asserted his ability to compete with any NFL receiver and indirectly challenged Jordan Addison, suggesting there are only seven true WR1s in the league.

Meanwhile, the Vikings’ upcoming 2026 roster is expected to see surprising cuts. New general manager Nolan Teasley may release several players, including tight end Gavin Bartholomew, who missed his rookie season with a back injury, and wide receiver Tai Felton, whose role has diminished after the team added Jauan Jennings and re‑acquired Adam Thielen. Linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. also faces reduced job security heading into training camp. These moves could significantly reshape Minnesota’s depth chart as the team prepares for the next season.
