Cut from Minnesota's practice squad
The Vikings cut Valladay from the practice squad Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The decision to cut Valladay corresponds with the Vikings signing fellow running back Corey Kiner to the practice squad. Valladay last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Jets, when he played on special teams in his lone game. He'll look to join a team in need of a running back who can also serve on special teams.

Signing with Minnesota
Valladay is in line to sign with the Vikings, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The running back spent time on the Jets' and Saints' practice squads last season and stuck with New Orleans through June, when he was waived. Valladay has never played on an offensive snap in his career and last appeared in an NFL game in 2023 with the Jets. The Minnesota running back depth chart is led by veteran Aaron Jones and free-agent signing Jordan Mason, but it does thin out after that, perhaps giving Valladay a fighting chance of earning a roster spot.

Off Jets' practice squad
The Jets cut Valladay from their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Valladay was dropped due to the Jets' need for offensive line depth, but there's a chance he rejoins the team's practice squad later in the season, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The second-year running back out of Arizona State recorded more than 2,200 rushing yards across his final two collegiate seasons, so he has a chance to be picked up by another team.

Won't make 53-man roster
The Jets waived Valladay on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Valladay spent his entire 2023 campaign with the Jets, appearing in one game and failing to record a stat on just 12 total snaps. The Arizona State product racked up over 2,200 rushing yards during his final two collegiate seasons, so he has a chance at finding a spot on to another team's practice squad heading into 2024.

Rejoins Jets' practice squad
The Jets signed Valladay to their practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Valladay was let go by the Jets on Friday but rejoined their practice squad one day later. He'll continue to wait for his opportunity to join the active roster, though that may only come should an injury occur with Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook, Michael Carter or Israel Abanikanda.

Jumps to Jets' practice squad
Valladay signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Valladay was waived by the Steelers on Wednesday but it looks like the Jets had their eye on the Arizona State product as a developmental prospect. He's unlikely to suit up for Gang Green in 2023 considering New York already has Breece Hall (knee), Dalvin Cook, Michael Carter and Israel Abanikanda (thigh) on the roster.
