Minnesota Vikings waive quarterback Max Brosmer ahead of the regular season
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings have officially waived quarterback Max Brosmer, concluding his tenure with the team. Head coach Kevin O’Connell previously confirmed Kyler Murray as the designated starter for the upcoming season opener against the Green Bay Packers. Brosmer, who appeared in two games during the 2025 season, held a 1-1 record as a starter, including a victory over the Detroit Lions last December. His release follows a difficult performance in a 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, where he was sacked and intercepted four times.

The team moves forward with its revised quarterback depth chart as it prepares for the opening week of the NFL season.
