The Alliance of American Football came to an abrupt end this week. That leaves a plethora of talented players up for grabs to NFL teams like the Minnesota Vikings.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. The Alliance of American Football suspended operations this week, cutting their season a few games short and leaving a ton of players without jobs and in some cases some hefty hotel bills.

The NFL announced that teams can freely sign who they want and the Kansas City Chiefs wasted little time signing cornerback from the Orlando Apollos Keith Reaser and the Panthers snapped up Arizona Hotshot wide receiver Rashad Ross.

There are plenty of players who stood out in the short-lived AAF and through their play on the field earned another shot at the big time.

Here’s a list of some former AAF standouts that the Minnesota Vikings should seriously consider adding to their roster.
