Allison Officially Released

As we announced earlier, the Minnesota Vikings planned on waiving receiver Aundrae Allison by 5pm today if he isn’t traded first.  He was not traded, and his release is official.

Because Allison was waived early in camp, he will have enough time to land on another team and legitimately battle for a position spot.  Allison has value as a kick-returner, as he once returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown, which is a franchise record.

The Vikings have many kick-returning candidates on their roster, including rookie receiver Percy Harvin.  Initial reaction over Harvin’s returning ability is not great, but we still have plenty of time left in camp and preseason for him to adjust.
