Vikings Releasing DL Dean Lowry & LB William Kwenkeu

The Vikings also released LB William Kwenkeu, per Kevin Seifert.

According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Lowry will free up $2,082,353 of available cap space while creating $2.4 million in dead money. 

Lowry, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the Packers back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.723 million contract and set to make a base salary of $720,000 for the 2019 season when he signed a three-year, $20.325 million extension.

The Vikings then signed Lowry to a two-year, $8.5 million deal as an unrestricted free agent back in March of last year. 

In 2023, Lowry appeared in nine games for the Vikings and recorded 14 tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass defense.
