On Thursday evening, the Minnesota Vikings made somewhat of a surprising decision when it was reported that running back Alexander Mattison was being released.
Now the Vikings Can Buy an RB
He entered the 2023 season as the starter, and while he lost that role by year’s end, it still stood to reason that he’d be back for 2024. Now, the Vikings can buy a replacement.
When the Minnesota Vikings parted ways with Dalvin Cook prior to the 2023 season, it was with the expectation that Alexander Mattison would pick up where he left off. The veteran bellcow had started trending downwards in recent seasons, which was substantiated by his lack of usage with the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens.
