It became obvious the Vikings were moving on from center Garrett Bradbury once they signed veteran Ryan Kelly to a two-year deal with $9.235 million guaranteed. The Vikings couldn’t find a trade partner because no team wanted to assume his $4.9 million salary in a trade.
So, the Vikings have released Bradbury, the team announced.
The Vikings will designate him a post-June 1 cut, per NFL Media.
The Patriots already have been floated as a possible destination for Bradbury after they released veteran center David Andrews last week.
Bradbury, a 2019 first-round pick, started 88 games in his six seasons in Minnesota. He played all 1,117 snaps last season.
