<p>It’s time to start thinking about potential Minnesota Vikings roster cuts at the end of the summer, as that portion of the calendar will arrive before you know it.</p>
<h2>We asked Vikings fans to name a player apiece who could be surprisingly cut this summer, and their answers varied.</h2>
<p>First, Vikings mandatory minicamp kicks off next week, followed by training camp in late July. </p>
<p><em>VikingsTerritory </em>detailed notable players last week who could be cut <a href=)
here; now it’s fans’ turn.
Here’s what our panel of fans said about surprise cuts this summer.

<p>My pick for this one is going to be <a href=)
Blake Brandel. I would be surprised if it happens, just given the need for quality depth, but the other additions they made this offseason could be trouble for Blake. C.J. Ham is always my other pick, but I think he’ll be here forever, lol.

<p>Maybe not even all that surprising after last season, but he’s a serviceable depth guy buried beneath a top-heavy middle linebacker room. Also, he’s the last defensive player of Kwesi’s first-year picks..</p>

<p>I’m not predicting anything major. Ryan Wright might seem to have the upper leg (no pun intended) on his punting competition, but he could lose out on a roster spot to someone cut from another team. I will say that’s the biggest surprise, but it’s not earth-shattering.</p>
