Former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen departed the franchise about one year ago and spent time with the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions in 2020. He registered a 63.2 Pro Football Focus grade behind seven sacks on two teams.
There is still a place in the NFL for Griffen. He recently turned 33 years old, which means the long-time Viking has a few years left to contribute.
For a period of weeks, it was widely theorized that he would return to Minnesota after a short NFC-centric sabbatical. The Lions capped their underwhelming 2020 campaign while Griffen sets sights on free agency.
