One such player is former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, a ten-year veteran whose contract with the Vikings expired after last season.
Earlier this offseason, APC’s Jon Meerdink dug into how Griffen might be able to help the Green Bay Packers. Now it appears that the team is seriously considering bringing him aboard. According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the Packers are one of the teams to “express interest” in the 32-year-old Griffen, noting that “the interest is mutual” with the player.
