When I originally heard the news that the Detroit Lions signed Matt Asiata I thought nothing of it. But bringing him in meant losing fullback Michael Burton, which makes me think Detroit intends on him being a vital offensive piece.
Last week, the Memorial Day weekend buzz became a reality as the Detroit Lions officially signed ex-Minnesota Viking running back Matt Asiata. He came in for a workout a few weeks back; however, he left without any paperwork being signed.
This left me to believe the team didn’t see enough from him to make a move and perhaps were still intrigued by LeGarrette Blount.
