Mattison Seeks New Home After Vikings Exit | Minnesota Vikings News

Alexander Mattison, once a Vikings backup workhorse with 584 carries and a solid 4.1 yards per carry average, is now a free agent hunting for a fresh start — including a recent Texans tryout alongside Hassan Haskins. With Houston’s defense led by stars like Will Anderson, coach DeMeco Ryans needs a reliable running game to complement his scheme. Mattison, sidelined by injuries in recent seasons and likely eyeing a veteran minimum deal, could carve out a third-down role if he lands with a team hungry for depth. Meanwhile, the Vikings are rebuilding their backfield with Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason vying for top spot — but Mattison’s experience and reliability make him a valuable late-round option.
