release

The Minnesota Vikings have plenty of decisions to make prior to the start of the new league year on Wednesday, March 15th.

With the expectation that a trade would be forthcoming and Trey Lance would be taking over as the team's starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo sounded certain at his Feb. 1 news conference that it would be his last as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.

Free agency in the NFL has been underway for just over a day, and there have already been a ton of impactful and newsworthy moves. On Thursday afternoon, a dominant defensive lineman and member of the 2010s All-Decade team became available after being released from his team.

The NFL Offseason is officially underway, and one former area college standout is now a free agent, as the Kansas City Chiefs officially released former Iowa Linebacker Anthony Hitchens on Tuesday.
