The Minnesota Vikings' revamped offensive line will end longtime center Garrett Bradbury's time with the organization, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
The Vikings plan to release Bradbury unless a trade can be worked out, the sources told Schefter.
Bradbury, 29, was the Vikings' first-round pick in 2019, selected 18th overall, and has manned the position for the past six seasons. He has started all 88 games he has 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 has no guaranteed money for 2025, and the Vikings will save $3.622 million against the salary cap by parting ways with him.
Bradbury is one of the NFL's smaller centers at a listed weight of 300 pounds, and at times he has been overpowered by opposing defensive linemen. The Vikings replaced him earlier this week with free agent Ryan Kelly, a four-time Pro Bowl selection in nine years with the Indianapolis Colts.
Remaking the interior of the offensive line has been one of the Vikings' top priorities this offseason. They not only signed Kelly to a two-year, $18 million contract, but also they added Kelly's teammate in Indianapolis, guard Will Fries, with a five-year $88 million deal.
Former right guard Ed Ingram was traded to the Houston Texans for a sixth-round pick in 2026 on Thursday. Guard Dalton Risner, who started 19 games over the past two seasons, is a free agent.
Also on Thursday, the Vikings agreed to terms with offensive tackle Justin Skule, who started five games last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
