Vikings suspended special teams coach Mike Priefer three games for making at least one homophobic slur during the 2012 football season.

The homophobic slur Priefer first denied, then later admitted, was roughly "nuke the gays." It was made known by ex-punter and same-sex-marriage advocate Chris Kluwe, who was cut after that season and has not since resurfaced in the NFL. Kluwe is now suing the Vikings for essentially blackballing him. Upon investigation, Vikings K Blair Walsh told investigators Kluwe "loves the attention" and wanted to be "in the spotlight," allegations that align with Kluwe's Friday night decision to rant and rave on his Twitter page. During the same 2012 season, Kluwe is known to have on "multiple" occasions walked around with a hole in his shorts in front of teammates and coaches, "claiming to be a Sandusky victim."

Vikings and P Chris Kluwe agreed to extend the May 6 deadline to file a wrongful termination lawsuit.

There is a one-year statute of limitations to file a wrongful termination lawsuit. Kluwe's one year would have been up on May 6, but the sides agreed to an extension to allow the Vikings to complete their internal investigation. Kluwe believes he was released from the team because of his support for same-sex marriage and accuses special teams coach Mike Priefer of making homophobic remarks in 2012. Kluwe said he will sue if the Vikings' internal investigation does not find in his favor.

The Raiders drew some laughs late Saturday when they announced they were keeping two punters, but on Sunday that changed with Kluwe's release. Oakland will roll with big-legged Marquette King in Shane Lechler's old position.

Raiders signed P Chris Kluwe to a one-year contract.

Kluwe's controversial/outspoken nature, mediocre play and $1.45M contract got him ousted from Minnesota. He'll fit right in the with the Raiders, who now have their Shane Lechler replacement. Kluwe's torn left meniscus is expected to be healed well before camp.

Vikings released P Chris Kluwe.

Kluwe broke the news on his Twitter account. Kluwe's off-the-field activism will be blamed for his release, but he simply wasn't worth his $1.4 million salary after coming in 17th in net-punting average (39.7 yards) last season. The Vikings are moving forward with No. 155 pick Jeff Locke at punter. Kluwe should eventually find another NFL gig.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities thinks Vikings P Chris Kluwe may not even make it to camp with the team.

The Vikings drafted P Jeff Locke with the No. 155 overall pick, and teams don't take kickers or punters unless they plan for them to make the team. Kluwe is due $1.45 million in the final year of his contract, but he won't see that.

Vikings P Chris Kluwe will undergo offseason surgery to repair a torn left meniscus.

Kluwe is due to earn $1.4 million in 2013 after finishing 25th in Pro Football Focus' punter ratings. Although he incurred the coaching staff's wrath for distractions caused by bloviating his outspoken opinions on seemingly every political, cultural, and sports debate in America, Kluwe should be back with the Vikings for another season.

Vikings P Chris Kluwe deemed the TCF Bank Stadium field "unplayable" after participating in Sunday's walkthrough practice.

"Serious time," said Kluwe. "All respect to the people that cleared the field ... you did an amazing job. That being said, it's unplayable. The field is as hard as concrete an hour and a half after they took the tarp off, and anyone that hits their head is getting a concussion. I find it interesting that the NFL can claim an emphasis on player safety, and then tell us the field is fine. It's beyond hypocritical. I can only hope, however unlikely, that no one gets catastrophically injured at the trainwreck that's about to take place tomorrow night."
