     Cornelius Edison The last of the Minnesota Vikings cuts to get down to the 53-man roster is one that comes as a bit of a surprise Authentic Laquon Treadwell Jersey , given the amount of time that he was given during the preseason.As a part of their final cuts going into the NFL’s roster deadline, the Vikings have released center Cornelius Edison.Following the injury to Pat Elflein and his subsequent starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform List, Edison was given a lot of time at the center spot for the Vikings. Honestly, I had him on my 53-man roster projection, and actually thought that he was on track to start Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. However, now he’s not even making the final roster.I would assume that Edison would be a prime candidate to come back to the practice squad, provided another team didn’t like what they saw from him and decides to put a claim in on him.With that Youth Andrew Sendejo Jersey , the Minnesota Vikings are officially down to 53 players on the roster. It’s been a pretty eventful cutdown day, ladies and gentlemen, and we’re glad that you chose to get all of the latest news about it right here at The Daily Norseman. We’ll have more on the roster as things take shape over the next couple of days.Minnesota Vikings FanPulse Week 5: Confidence still dropping The Minnesota Vikings certainly haven’t gotten off to the start that any of us would like this season. Because of that, as you’d expect, the confidence of the fans in the direction of the team has dropped significantly over the course of the past couple of weeks. (Sign up here to take our weekly Vikings survey)Following their loss to the Los Angeles Rams that dropped the purple to 1-2-1 on the young season, the FanPulse survey shows that confidence in the team has dropped. . .but only slightly, particularly compared to the drop from the previous week. Today http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ben-gedeon-jersey ;, only one out of every three fans (33%) is confident in the direction of the Minnesota Vikings.Honestly, I’m not sure how much lower it can get, folks. I know that there are a group that are eternally optimistic about this team, and Mike Zimmer pointed out recently that how the team starts isn’t necessarily an indicator of how they finish. After all, the 2016 Vikings started out 5-0 and ended 8-8, while last year’s squad started 2-2 and finished 13-3. It’s a long season, and I have a feeling we’ll start seeing that number trend upwards before too much longer here.That 33% mark Sheldon Richardson Jersey , however, puts Vikings fans at the bottom of the NFC North in terms of confidence. Even lower than the Detroit Lions, the one team behind the Vikings in the division standings, who are at 35% this week.Bit of a roller coaster there for the Lions, eh?Green Bay fans are still relatively confident in the direction of their favorite team after pitching a shutout against the same Buffalo Bills team that shellacked the Vikings in Week 3. Packer fans’ confidence in their team currently sits at 60%, which is not great, but compared to Minnesota and Detroit it’s pretty damn good.Of course Authentic Matt Wile Jersey , the NFC North fan base that’s the most confidence is the one with the most reason to be confident, the Chicago Bears. A full 96% of Bears fans are currently confident in the direction of their team. It’s not quite as high as Vikings’ fans confidence early in the season (which topped out at 98%), but it’s still awfully impressive for a team that I don’t think most of us expected a lot from.I really, sincerely hope that the Vikings give us some more reason for optimism here in the relatively near future. It would be nice to see the numbers go up again.
