Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and the Vikings have had a frustrating two years following a 2016 surgery that caused nerve damage in Floyd’s leg.
Floyd appeared in just one game in 2016 and none last year. The Vikings plugged Tom Johnson into his defensive tackle spot for much of that time and added Sheldon Richardson this year. Floyd is now a free agent, but the intrigue between he and his former team is apparently just beginning.
Floyd filed a grievance against the Vikings several months ago, hoping to recoup millions of dollars he says the team owes him.
