The Vikings released veteran tight end Kyle Rudolph on Tuesday. He spent the first 10 seasons of his career in Minnesota, which included two Pro Bowl appearances. 

The 31-year-old is a free agent for the first time in his career. This move saves the Vikings over $5 million in cap space and $8 million in cash. 

Rudolph is still a capable player and could latch on with a contender. He had 28 receptions for 334 yards and one touchdown in 2020. 

Rudolph is a Cincinnati native. He attended Elder High School, before spending three years at Notre Dame. He was drafted by the Vikings in the second-round (43rd overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft. 

Rudolph is one of many veterans that will be released by their respective teams over the next few weeks.
