Have confirmed via source that the Vikings tendered OLB Bo Richter, who was an exclusive rights free agent.
Richter’s been a significant contributor on special teams through his first two seasons with the Vikings. Led the team in ST snaps last season, per PFF.
Veteran center Ryan Kelly, who spent the 2025 season with the Vikings, just announced his retirement over on X:

There are a /lot/ of people at the Combine working on a /lot/ of stuff that isn’t relevant to the Vikings. Better use of time — especially w/ KOC now on the competition committee — to devote the time just to talking with local media who knows the team.
