Defensive end Everson Griffen, the longest-tenured Vikings player, embarked on an offseason of uncertainty after cleaning out his locker Sunday for what could be the last time.
Griffen, 32, is a free agent, as his restructured contract voided the final three years after he reached performance and playing-time benchmarks this season. Griffen said he has “maybe three or four” more years left in his NFL career.
“I want to be a Viking for life,” Griffen said, “but it’s a business, so we’ll figure that out when the time gets here.”
Griffen enjoyed a comeback season as he continued care for his mental health following a five-game absence in 2018 because of two police incidents.
