He's exploring his options while waiting for some of the other top running backs to sign. Asiata is a plodder if there ever was one, but he's a good finisher around the goal-line and is also a capable pass-catcher. As of now, the only running backs on the Vikings' roster are Jerick McKinnon, C.J. Ham and Bishop Sankey.

Among the 42 running backs to top 100 carries last year, Asiata's -0.15 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt was the third-worst.
