The Minnesota Vikings claimed offensive lineman Nick Samac off waivers on Sunday. The move occurred following the NFL's league-wide roster cutdown deadline, which required teams to trim their rosters to 53 players. Samac was released by the Carolina Panthers earlier in the day during the roster reduction process. A 2024 seventh-round draft pick, Samac previously spent time with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Panthers for the latter half of the 2025 season. He has appeared in 11 career NFL games to date. Samac will now compete for a position on the Minnesota Vikings offensive line.
