After spending the 2020 season in two ugly uniforms, Everson Griffen re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.

Shortly after the 2019 season came to a close, Everson Griffen shared a post on his Instagram account announcing his decision to not return to the Minnesota Vikings in 2020.

Instead, Griffen chose to see if he could catch on with another NFL team. He wound up signing with the Dallas Cowboys, and then midway through the 2020 campaign, he was traded to the Detroit Lions.
