After a season that can only really be labeled a disappointment from the running game, the Minnesota Vikings are going to have a changing of the guard at that position.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings have informed running back Alexander Mattison that he will be released. It’s a move that will save the Vikings around $3.35 million in salary cap space with free agency a little more than a week away. He was reportedly set to have $2.75 million of his salary become guaranteed on 15 March, which might help to explain his release.
