He will compete for a roster spot in Tennessee’s thin inside linebacker group as teams finalize their 53-man rosters ahead of the regular season.

Overview

  • Tennessee used its top waiver priority to add the former third-round pick on August 13 and immediately waived linebacker Otis Reese IV in a corresponding move.
  • Minnesota released Asamoah on August 12 after he saw reduced defensive snaps and was involved in a practice altercation with offensive lineman Will Fries.
  • Across three seasons with the Vikings, Asamoah appeared in 46 games and amassed 802 special-teams snaps versus 188 defensive snaps without ever starting.
  • The Vikings filled the vacated spot by signing linebackers Cam Gill and Max Tooley to bolster their depth chart.
  • With veterans like Cody Barton and two 2024 draft picks ahead of him, Asamoah’s special-teams resume and Tennessee’s thinner inside linebacker room could earn him a place on the opening-week roster.
