The Vikings front office continues to find ways to create cap space ahead of the start of the new league year and free agency next week. On Thursday, punter Britton Colquitt agreed to take a pay cut of $1.375 million in 2021, reducing his base salary to the veteran minimum of $1.075 million. This comes after the Vikings released Kyle Rudolph, Dan Bailey, Riley Reiff, and a few others in recent weeks.
Colquitt s salary for 2022 is unchanged. He turns 36 this month and is entering his 12th season in the NFL.
