Can confirm the Vikings are going to sign defensive end Everson Griffen, per source. Terms of his deal are still being worked out. Minnesota sought out pass rush help and is reuniting with the long-time Vikings edge rusher who spent 10 seasons w/ the team before a yr in DAL/DET.

Wow, Vikings sure appear to be going for it this year. Bittersweet though, knowing this might be their best roster in decades, but all still very much at the mercy of one or two key players testing positive at pivotal moments, threatening to bring the whole thing crashing down. 

Paging Russell Okung. Paging Russell Okung. You have a call on the white courtesy phone.

I don't think the roster math adds up for an Okung signing. Unless someone goes on IR, Thor forbid.

Everson Griffen is the fourth player to rejoin the #Vikings this offseason after spending a season or two elsewhere. Stephen Weatherly, Mackensie Alexander, Sheldon Richardson, and now Griffen. That says a lot about the culture Mike Zimmer and Andre Patterson have built.

keeping 11 Dlineman ? Sounds like a Zim move to me

Gosh, if we got 6 sacks out of him and actually did a DL rotation.......our DL could be scary good.....gasp...

This is the ideal scenario.  Keep he and Richardson on the bench to keep their legs and abilities fresh.  Rotate them in on various downs.  Both are trusted guys who know the system well and can provide immediate impact on the field.

If we could get 6-8 sacks from Griff, 4-6 sacks from Richardson as back ups, this DL should be scary

Of course they are going all in. Jobs are on the line. There better not be any excuses due to forfeits though.

Will Tomasson ask Griffen about his Twitter rant involving Cousins?

[Guest]

One thing I like is the energy Griffen brings to a team that often comes out flatter than a pancake…! Kentis thought Monday  B) 

"If I didn't think he could help us, we wouldn't sign him,"
Zimmer said Monday
