Vikings Cut Jordan Ta'amu

The Minnesota Vikings cut quarterback Jordan Ta'amu on Monday. The Vikings just added Ta'amu at training camp a week ago, but they didn't see enough from him in that limited time to justify keeping him on their final 53-man roster to open the 2023 regular season. Kirk Cousins is the team's obvious starter, with veteran […]

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett is gauging the market for the potential to play elsewhere in 2023, according to sources.
