Report: Vikings expected to discuss bringing back G Nick Easton

The 2018 season didn’t go according to plan for Vikings guard Nick Easton.

In fact after suffering a neck injury and undergoing surgery, Easton didn’t play a single game.

Easton has been medically cleared to play and is a free agent.

Per Chris Tomasson of the Pionneer Press, the Vikings are expected to have conversations next week to discuss bringing Easton back.

#Vikings expected to have conversations next week regarding possibility of re-signing guard Nick Easton, who missed all of last season after neck surgery. He's been medically cleared by a doctor and a source said he would be healthy enough to play now if there were a game Sunday.

Easton, 26,  signed a one-year, $2.9 million deal last season and it feels like the Vikings could get him for a similar or discounted price.

The Vikings are desperate for offensive line help and Easton is certainly capable. Easton started 17 games from 2016 to 2017 with the Vikings, including 12 in 2017.
