The Minnesota Vikings have released longtime center Garrett Bradbury, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

The move comes after sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter last week that the Vikings would first try to trade Bradbury, the team's first-round pick in 2019.

Bradbury, 29, was selected 18th in 2019 and has manned the position for the past six seasons. He has started all 88 games he appeared in for the Vikings -- including all 17 last season.

The Vikings signed him to a three-year extension after the 2022 season, but the deal had no guaranteed money for 2025. The Vikings will designate the move as a post-June 1 transaction, saving the team $5.25 million against the salary cap.
