Jaleel Johnson Retires from NFL After Seven Seasons

Former Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson has announced his retirement from professional football after a seven-season career. Johnson, who began his journey with the Vikings after being drafted in 2017, expressed gratitude for his experiences and the support he received throughout his career. He played a significant role during his time in Minnesota, notably starting all 16 games in the 2020 season. Following his time with the Vikings, Johnson's career took him to several teams, including the Tennessee Titans, but he struggled to secure a consistent roster spot in recent years. His departure coincides with the Vikings' ongoing roster changes, as they also released center Garrett Bradbury, further reshaping their team dynamics. As the Vikings continue their off-season acquisitions, including bolstering their offensive line and considering additional defensive signings, the team's future remains a focal point for fans and analysts alike.
