Everson Griffen announced earlier this offseason that he would be leaving the Vikings in free agency, but so far, the defensive end has yet to make an official signing.
In a recent article, ESPN had three reporters guess where Griffen should go, and all three picked the same team: the Seahawks.
Here’s what ESPN’s Matt Bowen said about Griffen fitting in with Seattle:
“The Seahawks are a zone-heavy team that relies on the front four to create pressure. That’s why I like Griffen in Seattle. He’s an easy fit in the Seahawks’ 40 front with the experienced technique, power and short-area speed to get to the quarterback.”
ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler said that the hypothetical deal between the two would make sense because the Seahawks have “been looking for pass-rush help for months but won’t meet [Jadeveon] Clowney’s price tag.”
ESPN’s Field Yates brought up that Griffen used to play for Seahawks coach Pete Carroll when Carroll was coaching at USC.
