MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Safety Willie Offord and quarterback Mike McMahon were among 21 players cut on Saturday by the Minnesota Vikings, who also traded veteran offensive lineman Adam Goldberg to St. Louis.
Offord, a fourth-year pro who was one of the best special teams players on the Vikings, was coming back from a knee injury that sidelined him for the final 13 games of last season. The move was a mild surprise because Offord had played well in the preseason, and the Vikings were thin at safety after losing Tank Williams to a season-ending knee injury earlier in camp.
Offord is a bit of a surprise. For the reasons listed in the article. But then again, Childress has proven to be a bit irrational in his roster moves....I would say it's ridiculous, but ****canning Dumbte Fumblepepper makes up for a lot of his bonehead moves so far.
