The 2025 NFL draft has come to a close, which means it's UDFA time. The Vikings selected just five players in their draft class, which means they've got a lot of room to sign undrafted players, also known as college free agents, to round out their 90-man roster.

GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and his staff are always aggressive in adding UDFAs who they believe have a chance to make their roster or stick around on the practice squad. In previous years, they've added players like Ivan Pace Jr., Gabriel Murphy, Dwight McGlothern, and Taki Taimani that way.

Below, we'll be tracking all of the undrafted free agents who are reportedly signing with the Vikings on Saturday evening — starting with a quarterback many Minnesota fans will be familiar with.

Max Brosmer, QB, Minnesota

After trading for former Seahawks quarterback Sam Howell earlier in the day, the Vikings are adding a fourth QB to their room in Brosmer, who they hosted for a local visit during the pre-draft process. The New Hampshire transfer spent one year with the Gopphers and was pretty productive. He doesn't have eye-popping physical tools, but he throws with anticipation over the middle of the field and is capable of reading defenses effectively. He's getting a pretty nice bonus to sign with the Vikings.

The Vikings' QB room now includes J.J. McCarthy as the projected starter, Howell as his backup, Brett Rypien as QB3, and Brosmer as a developmental QB4.

Joe Huber, OL, Wisconsin

Huber is a 6'5", 310-pound lineman who started 38 games in his career at Cincinnati and Wisconsin, split between left guard, right guard, and right tackle. He was a third team All-Big Ten selection last season.

Silas Bolden, WR, Texas

Bolden spent four years at Oregon State, then transferred to Texas for his final season. He had 746 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2023, and he also ran for 199 yards and five touchdowns in his career. Another thing he brings to the table is the ability to return kicks and punts, which he did quite a bit of in his career. He returned a punt for a touchdown in each of the last two seasons, including one in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals last year.

Dontae Fleming, WR, Tulane

Fleming is a 6'1" wideout who spent three years at Louisiana and two at Tulane. He had a career-high 598 receiving yards last year, averaging over 19 yards per catch. He also has some punt return experience.
