Taimani, 27, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon following the 2024 draft. He signed a three-year, $2.835 million contract with a base salary of $795k in 2024.

He was among Minnesota’s final roster cuts coming out of the 2025 preseason and bounced on and off their active roster. Minnesota placed him on injured reserve in August and later cut him with a settlement. 

In 2025, Taimani appeared in two games for the Vikings and recorded one total tackle.
