First, it was Stephen Weatherly.
He returned to the Minnesota Vikings in March after a one-year stint with the Carolina Panthers. The first free-agent acquisition of the offseason, it was neat to see an ex-Viking return as many onlookers of the Vikings perceive head coach Mike Zimmer as difficult to work with.
Weatherly disagreed. So did Mackensie Alexander, who also rejoined the team after spending a season with the Cincinnati Bengals. The narrative about Zimmer fostering a “toxic culture” might just be false or overblown.
Today, Everson Griffen will reportedly work out with his former team in Eagan.
