EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings have waived
quarterback Rhett Bomar and nine other players in their first round
of roster cuts.
     Bomar was a long shot to make the team after the Vikings drafted
Christian Ponder in the first round in April. He was arrested on
charges of drunken driving during training camp this month and did
not play in the first three exhibition games.
     The Vikings also waived defensive backs, Chris Adingupu and
Simeon Castille, offensive lineman Conan Amituanai, tight end
Barham, kicker Nate Whitaker, linebacker Jonathan Gilmore, receiver
Andre Holmes, linebacker Kyle O'Donnell and defensive tackle Colby
Whitlock.
     The Vikings have 80 players on their roster and must get down to
53 by Sept. 4.
     Their final preseason game is Thursday night against Houston.
