Brandel, 25, is a former sixth-round pick of the Vikings back in 2020. He signed a four-year, $3.45 million contract with Minnesota, but was waived coming out of training camp last year and later signed to their practice squad.

The Vikings brought Brandel back on a futures contract in 2021 before signing him to the practice squad in September of last year. Minnesota promoted him to the active roster in October 2021. 

In 2022, Brandel has appeared in nine games for Minnesota and made four starts.
