The Facts: Asiata will re-sign with the team on a one-year contract, a source said Monday.

Diehards Line:Asiata is expected to sign the deal Tuesday. Asiata will return for a fourth Minnesota season after being a restricted free agent. There is no need for the Vikings to give him a tender by Tuesday's deadline. Asiata is a no-frills grinder who can pass protect, doesn't lose yardage and doesn't fumble. He's not a No. 1 back, but he's worth keeping around for depth, especially if Adrian Peterson stays on the roster.
