Return of Everson Griffen to Vikings Is the Cake Topper for Offseason

The Minnesota Vikings will re-sign Everson Griffen this week, barring an unforeseen and last-minute change of heart.

Reunion: The #Vikings are expected to sign veteran pass-rusher Everson Griffen, who worked out for his old friends last week, source said. Griffen had 6 sacks last year for the #Cowboys and #Lions, but spent every season prior in Minnesota.

Griffen ranks seventh on the Vikings all-time sack list.

Spending 10 full years in Minnesota, Griffen departed in early 2020 during a mass exodus of Vikings defensive personnel.
