A Sparano connection and just a few years ago, got a huge contract. Big kid. 6'7", 335 lbs. 30 years old.
"Back in 2014, the Oakland Raiders signed tackle Austin Howard to a five-year deal worth $30 million in hopes that he could anchor their high-powered offensive line from the right side.
Three years, a handful of injuries and a few personnel shufflings up front later, Howard is back on the market. He confirmed his release via an Instagram post Friday."

He's a RG or RT - and I think we have enough candidates there (Berger, Sirles, Remmers, Clemmons). I think we gamble only if we could help the left side of the line.

Also might not fit well as we do more ZBS, given his size (his bio says he once "slimmed down to 330").

I think they like Reid Fragel here for the RT behind Remmers...

I think the Vikings got their share of "Fill-ins" as linemen...
