Griffen's agent, Brian Murphy, told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero the following regarding his client's status on the open market: "We have broken off talks with Minnesota because they have to spend their money elsewhere and we decided to now focus our attention on free agency."
The 32-year-old Griffen has spent his entire 10-year NFL career with the Vikings and has been named to the Pro Bowl four times.
