The Minnesota Vikings have recently made a series of roster moves, including the release of safety Bubba Bolden and the signing of rookie offensive lineman Matthew Cindric.
Bubba Bolden, a 24-year-old safety, was signed by the Vikings in March 2025 after stints with the Cleveland Browns and teams in the XFL and USFL. However, he was waived on June 13, 2025, as the team made adjustments to their roster. Bolden’s departure opens up space for other players to compete for positions in the secondary.
In a corresponding move, the Vikings signed offensive lineman Matthew Cindric to their practice squad. Cindric, who went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, played college football at California-Berkeley, starting 34 games at center and right guard. Despite suffering season-ending injuries in his final two college seasons, Cindric’s versatility and experience on the offensive line make him a valuable addition to the Vikings’ depth chart.
These roster changes reflect the Vikings’ ongoing efforts to strengthen both their offensive line and secondary as they prepare for the upcoming season. The team’s coaching staff will continue to evaluate players during training camp and preseason games to finalize the 53-man roster.
