We’ll keep putting updates at the top of the piece so you won’t have to scroll too far. Original story below the line here.
Barring what would be a really weird trade back into the selection meeting, the 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books for the Minnesota Vikings, but things aren’t completely over yet! The end of the Draft means the end of the undrafted free agent signing frenzy and the opportunity for our favorite football team to fill out their 90-man roster.
With the players they drafted, the Vikings have room on their roster for 17 new undrafted free agents, so the rumors will likely be flying fast and furious with names that will be connected to the purple.
Over the years, the Vikings have had a lot of significant undrafted free agents, including a Pro Football Hall of Famer in John Randle. We’ve also seen players like Adam Thielen, Marcus Sherels, and, most recently, Ivan Pace Jr. go from undrafted to playing a big-time role with the Vikings.
An important thing to keep in mind is the fact that the undrafted free agency signings will not be official until tomorrow. Right now, these are all just rumors and speculation until the Vikings release their official UDFA list tomorrow.
We’ll do our best to keep things updated here with the latest undrafted free agent news, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you to all of you who have gotten your 2024 NFL Draft news this year right here at The Daily Norseman!

East Range Police Department officer passes away
A police officer in northern Minnesota unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.
The East Range Police Department said that Sgt. Cody Siebert passed away on Friday, less than 24 hours after being diagnosed with a brain infection.
The department said that Siebert was known for his happy-go-lucky personality and that “if you couldn’t get along with Cody, it was your fault.”
Siebert started at the K9 program in Babbitt with K9 Taconite (Tac) before going to the East Range Police Department.
“The hole left by Sgt. Siebert’s passing will be impossible to fill,” East Range police said. “We at ERPD love you and will miss you always. We have it from here.”
Mesabi East Schools also stated that the district was “truly blessed to have him walking our halls, greeting students, encouraging staff, and building relationships that went far beyond the badge.”

Utah Mammoth take down Minnesota 5-2 to end the Wild’s winning streak at 6
The Wild were taken down by the Utah Mammoth 5-2 on Friday night to end Minnesota’s winning streak at six games.
Lawson Crouse scored twice and U.S. Olympian Clayton Keller had a goal and two assists for Utah.
Logan Cooley and Barrett Hayton also scored and Karel Vejmelka made 21 saves to help the Mammoth rebound from a 4-2 home loss to NHL-leading Colorado on Wednesday night in their return from the Olympic break. Utah began the night in the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
U.S. Olympian Matt Boldy scored and assisted on Kirill Kaprizov’s goal for Minnesota. Second behind Central Division-rival Colorado in the West, the Wild are 9-2-1 in their last 12. They beat the Avalanche 5-2 on Thursday night in Denver.
Cooley opened the scoring with a short-handed goal with 6:37 left in the first period. The former University of Minnesota star got the puck on the right side off a deflection and put a shot between Wallstedt’s legs for his 15th goal.
Keller scored his 18th at 4:26 of the second. Nick Schmaltz forced a turnover on a forecheck and fed Keller on the right side.
Crouse made it 3-0 at 7:49 of the second. He came down the middle, took a pass from Keller and beat Wallstedt with a backhander.
Kaprizov countered for Minnesota on a power play with 5:57 left in the second. He has 33 goals this season.
Hayton made it 4-1 on a power play at 1:19 of the third, and Crouse added his 16th of the season on a tip with 7:12 to go.
Boldy got his 35th of the season with 5:57 remaining.
