Everson Griffen to test Free Agency

[Silver N Blue]

I'm for this guy. The Tolbert of Minnesota since he was drafted.


Vikings DE Everson Griffen announced on his Instagram, "It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye."
Griffen's agent said, "We have broken off talks with Minnesota because they have to spend their money elsewhere and we decided to now focus our attention on free agency." Griffen added that he's in the best physical and mental shape of his career. The 32-year-old DE has racked up eight sacks in six of the last eight seasons dating back to 2012. His dominance on a per-rush basis was clear in 2019, as his 66 pressures were the 14th-highest mark among all edge defenders (PFF). The market figures to be solid for Griffen, even if it's a shorter-term deal.

This would be the perfect capper to free agency.

Would be an excellent addition

 

[WillieBeamen]

Hes not coming here.


Teams with more cap space like the Jets, will offer way more than Stephen’s low-ball offer

Agree I posted at the top he reminds me of Tolbert and Ellis. He’s also has experience sliding in on the inside from time to time giving the Jones crew the “flexibility” they love with this type of signing.

 

[Kingofholland]

Yep, would give development/conditioning time to Gregory too. Wonder what he's looking for? I predict he gets 50 to 60% what Quinn got a year on a shorter term deal.

Probably right but I’ll hope

 

[USArmyVet]

He would be a quality replacement for the recently departed Quinn but doubt he would take a low 1 or 2 year deal. Dallas simply can't afford quality talent.

 

[Kaiser]

I do get the feeling Dallas makes a big money signing at DE, whether its Griffin or Clowney or someone else.

I’m sure but a better fit than Clowney imo. At least he plays every week.

Who the hell wants to go to the Jets though? I'd like to think there are better options for Griffen at this point.

Griffen would likely be a short term deal. Even if it is a bit pricey, it wouldn't be a long term cap killer.

I'll take Griffen or Golden or a surprise in Clowney.

These are lies. You are spewing a lot of lies on this site lately. They can afford anyone.

A man that wants to get paid in what is most likely his last contract in the league

I really hate Clowney. Hated him in college too. Its like to this point his whole career including college is he's saving himself for something. He's holding on to his talent. When is he ever going to fulfill his potential? THe only way i'd sign him is if it was a one year or 2 year deal. He's a prime example of someone who needs to always have a reason to play.

 

[Idgit]

We have his old DC on the staff. And we’re a good place if he wants a good payday for a one year deal that he can slingshot like Quinn did into $40MM guaranteed.

He’s valuable enough that someone might give him that multi year deal right now though.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Don’t tease me!

Then I guess my next question is.....why the hell do the rebuilding Jets want to give a 32 year old a big money contract? I could be wrong I just don't see the fit.
