The arrival of a new starting center in Minnesota means that the incumbent starting center will be changing his address.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Vikings [will release](https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1900281589441192341) center Garrett Bradbury, unless a trade materializes.
A first-round pick in 2019, Bradbury became an immediate starter. He signed a three-year, $15.25 million contract in 2023; one year remains on the deal, at $5.25 million.
Moving on will create $5.25 million in cap space, but will entail a dead-money charge of $2.442 million.
Bradbury lost his starting spot the moment the Vikings agreed to terms with Ryan Kelly, a first-round pick of the Colts in 2016. It’s part of an effort to overhaul the interior of the Minnesota offensive line, which will benefit from a higher level of skill — and from an enhanced [dirtbag](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mora-wants-dirtbags-hopes-that-we-dont-point-it-out) quotient.
