Just a day after former Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi was cut from the Kansas City Chiefs, another former Hawkeye gunslinger was cut from yet another NFL roster.
James Vandenberg was one of 13 players cut from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday in an effort to trim the team’s roster to the 75-player limit. Minnesota did this just a day ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
Vandenberg made a single preseason appearance for the Vikings, connecting on all three of his passes for 18 yards in a 27-13 losing effort to Houston on Aug. 9.
