Sharrif Floyd has reduced the pending legal actions involving his football career by 50 percent.Via Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune Youth Brett Jones Jersey , Floyd has withdrawn a grievance challenging the Vikings’ decision to place him on the non-football injury list in 2017. Floyd had claimed that the Vikings should have placed him on injured reserve — and paid his full salary — since the condition that prevented him from playing was the result of a football injury.With Floyd now suing Dr. James Andrews for $180 million as a result of the allegedly botched surgery that ended Floyd’s career, Floyd’s lawyers likely decided that an argument based on the condition that kept him from playing being a football injury versus the product of medical malpractice could undermine the lawsuit against Andrews.NFL teams have no obligation to pay a player on the NFI list. The Vikings opted to pay Floyd half of his $4 million salary. He’d been seeking the remaining $1.9 million from the Vikings; Floyd will now attempt to get that money (and plenty more) from Andrews.With the grievance withdrawn, the Vikings gain $3.9 million in cap space.Vikings Roster Cuts: Minnesota Vikings release Luke McNitt With the way their current roster is constructed, the Minnesota Vikings don’t have a lot of room for a pure fullback. With that in mind http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tom-compton-jersey , the team released one as part of their initial wave of cuts on Friday afternoon.The Vikings have released fullback Luke McNitt, who they signed just a couple of weeks ago. McNitt was one of several players that the Vikings had signed after their game against the Jackonville Jaguars that saw them suffer multiple injuries.McNitt went undrafted out of Nebraska and initially signed with the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons waived McNitt on 20 August, and the Vikings signed him the next day after they lost fullback Johnny Stanton in that game against Jacksonville.With McNitt being more of a pure fullback, it would be a bit of an upset of the Vikings were to bring him back to the practice squad. Still Rashod Hill Jersey , we will have to keep an eye on the situation and see what happens.We have more roster moves by the Minnesota Vikings to discuss, and will continue to discuss them as we get closer to Saturday’s deadline for rosters to be reduced to 53 players.
