Report: Asiata unlikely to return to the Vikings for the 2017 season

Only future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson has had more rushing touchdowns (33) for the Minnesota Vikings since 2012 than fellow running back Matt Asiata, who has found the end zone 18 times in the last five seasons.

Well the next touchdown Mr. Asiata scores may be done in the uniform of a different NFL team.

According to the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson, the free-agent running back is not expected to return to Minnesota for the 2017 season.

Source says RB Matt Asiata plans to test the market in free agency and not a high probability he returns to the #Vikings.
