After reportedly voiding the rest of his contract and entering free agency, Everson Griffen’s next move has been on the minds of Vikings fans and fans of other teams across the league.
Griffen could re-sign with Minnesota or go to another team, and ESPN’s Courtney Cronin thinks the best option for the defensive end is staying in Minnesota.
“The Vikings had to make this move one way or the other,” Cronin said on the radio show Purple Daily, a program on SKOR North.
Cronin also said that the Vikings “were not going to be able to afford him at the $13.9 million cap hit” from his then-contract before he made the decision to void it.
“The best place for Everson Griffen is going to be in Minnesota, to come back on a restructured deal just like he did last year.”
With the comeback season Griffen had in 2019-20, on top of the need to have another good edge rusher besides Danielle Hunter, I think if it’s up to the Vikings, they should try and keep him.
