Griffen restructures and stays with the Vikings

Good move. The word is its very team friendly and should clear a fair amount of cap room. Base went from $10.9M to $6.4M for this season. Brez strikes again.

So we save $4.5 million in cap space for 2019?

Right around there. There are some incentives as well but that doesn't count against the cap

As I said, step back and let the man work.

I've been hearing $8M. Hope Sticky is right.

With a roster bonus of 1.5 as well. It is a total of about an 8 million cap hit from what I understand.

Thats about enough to sign rookies? Not a lot of FA $, but still something I guess. They need the same from Rudolph too.

Don't forget Waynes. That's big money right there.

Brez could be the opener for Penn and Teller...getting Barr's deal done with a minimal 2019 impact was huge...
