CVI Grade pending — contract details not yet available.
Releasing an undrafted free agent receiver is a routine roster housekeeping move. Media coverage minimal, suggesting Knotts never gained meaningful traction in Minnesota. UDFA status indicates he was a camp body without proven NFL-caliber production. Fans likely barely noticed, as practice squad turnover happens constantly throughout preseason. Vikings will simply promote another depth receiver or pursue waiver-wire alternatives for depth.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
