Vikings Trade Rouse to Pats, Announce 53-Man Roster
The Minnesota Vikings have set their 53-man roster (for now) ahead of the season opener next weekend.
The team had many tough decisions to make, and also traded away a former draft pick in the process.
Walter Rouse, a 6th round pick just a few years ago, was traded to the Patriots ahead of the cut down deadline on Sunday.
Per Vikings.com:
The Minnesota Vikings on Sunday announced they have traded offensive lineman Walter Rouse to the New England Patriots.
Minnesota sent Rouse, who was a 2024 sixth-round pick, and a 2027 seventh-round selection to New England in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick.
Rouse began his career at tackle, but he had worked primarily at guard this preseason.
