Alexander Mattison RB released - pulses - 02-29-2024
He's just 25 and ran for 700 yards last year for Minnesota. He'd be a good one to replace Williams.

Maybe not. The Vikings were willing to eat $4M in dead cap to net $600K in savings? Tells me that they were beyond unsatisfied with his abilities.

No they found a cheaper replacement in Ty Chandler who they were impressed with. A guy who ran for 700 yards and caught another 200 yards is way better than WIlliams EVER has been in the NFL.

NO but he's had years of opportunity and didn't take advantage of it....Mattison did.

Are you sure? From what I was reading almost all of Mattison's contract was guaranteed, meaning they essentially paid him $4M to go away.

3 straight years of <4.0ypc, bad yards after contact, 15.9% drop rate this year, 11.1% last year while averaging under 6.5 yards per catch (terrible even for a RB). 21 yards is his longest rush over the last two seasons combined.
