Vikings released LT Bryant McKinnie.
A classic example of wasted talent, McKinnie made just one Pro Bowl in nine seasons with the Vikings when he had the natural ability of a Jonathan Ogden or Willie Roaf. His undoing in training camp was showing up so fat and out of shape that beat writers noticed he looked much heavier than the already overweight 360 pounds McKinnie had ballooned to by last season's end. When it's noticeable that 6-foot-8, 350-plus pound people have packed on a significant amount of weight, you've got a real problem on your hands. McKinnie was also a notorious party animal off the field. The Vikings will concede the downgrade to Charlie Johnson in exchange for permanently shedding a team cancer. They're also off the hook for McKinnie's $4.9 million salary plus $750K in bonuses. Source: Profootballtalk on NBC Sports Aug 2, 3:43 PM
