Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who spent the 2017 season on the team’s non-football injury list as he tried to return from a nerve issue in his right knee, still is awaiting the settlement of a grievance he filed in September in hopes of recouping his full $6.757 million salary for the 2017 season.
According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Floyd was paid a $2 million base salary for the 2017 season, in addition to a $6,450 workout bonus. Teams are not obligated to pay players on the NFI list; they can pay an amount of their choosing to those players, or opt not to pay them at all.
