The Vikings have until next week to drop their roster to 75 players and they got the ball rolling on that process Thursday.
The team announced that they have waived cornerback Melvin White, who signed a contract with the team in January but didn’t play in either of the team’s preseason games. The move leaves the roster with 89 players.
White played 30 games and made 17 starts for the Panthers in 2013 and 2014 before being released last September. He was signed to the Rams practice squad in September, but didn’t play in any regular season games for the team. White had 83 tackles, three interceptions, a touchdown and a forced fumble during his time in Carolina.
The Vikings drafted Mackensie Alexander in the second round this year to go with Terence Newman, Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes, Captain Munnerlyn, Marcus Sherels and Jabari Price at cornerback.
