Just a week after signing with the Vikings, they released Pinkston. It appears as if this is a move to not have to guarantee his base salary. The team is talking about picking him up after he clears waivers. I'm glad to see that the team is not investing that much in a cowardly gimp. His achilles tendon is not fully healed, so the one thing he is good at (a basic fly route) is really not an option for him right now.
It surprised me when I saw it last night but not too much. Tampa releasing David Boston was a bigger surprise. I heard Millen was interested.
