Reason revealed why former Vikings starter was cut by the Bills

Former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cameron Dantzler was let go by the Buffalo Bills on Friday, making them the third team to cut him since March.

After spending the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings, Cameron Dantzler was hoping to earn a job with the Buffalo Bills this year.

Unfortunately for Dantzler, he suffered a hamstring injury during one of the Bills' first training camp practices, and this resulted in Buffalo deciding to waive the former Vikings cornerback on Friday.

Dantzler did end up clearing waivers, so the Bills decided to add him to their reserve/injured list on Saturday. But then, Buffalo apparently had a change of heart and waived the former Minnesota corner on Sunday from injured reserve with a settlement.

A once promising NFL career is now full of doubts for former Minnesota Vikings CB Cameron Dantzler

Despite being a third-round draft selection, Dantzler impressed the Vikings' coaches enough as a rookie to begin the 2022 season as one of the team's two starting corners. Ever since then, however, it's seemed like his performance has trended in the wrong direction.

Dantzler only appeared in 10 games for Minnesota last season, and despite his contract not expiring until 2024, the team decided to cut him back in March. It was one of many departures made by the Vikings this offseason to distance themselves from the old regime.

It didn't take long for Dantzler to find a new home in the NFL, as the Washington Commanders were able to claim him on the waiver wire. However, the Commanders didn't keep him around for long, and he was released on May 30th.

Dantzler was eventually able to land with the Bills in June, and then his recent hamstring injury forced Buffalo to make a quick decision about his future with the franchise.

At just 24-years-old, Danztler still has plenty of time to extend his career in the league. But how many more chances is he going to get?

It's crazy to think that just a few years ago, Vikings fans were raving about him making impressive plays in training camp when covering guys like Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. But now, it's fair to believe that his time in the NFL could be coming to an end sooner than later.
