Everson endearing himself to Kirk and the Vikings
I think Griffen knew exactly what he was doing with this. Could be that he wants to come back and RS shot him down and this is his way at getting back at him, but I think more likely this is way of helping Zimmer out and taking the blame off of Zimmer for the defense being so bad this year by making the excuse that the Cousins contract handcuffed the defense.

Again, Vikings ranked 25th in money spent on its QB position. Further, If you look at our top ten cap numbers for 2020, seven play defense. And of those seven, four either missed the entire year or several games.
All told, we had $21M going to our QB and $35M going to defenders who didn’t play.
I don't really give a rat's ass what Zimmer "wants" on offense, it's obvious that he has little interest in that side of things. The only QB he's treated well was Teddy, who has failed to ever be better than mid-pack.
Zimmer likes defense and ball control offense...but that's not the league. We have a QB and receivers that can make big plays with consistency...whereas Griffen is looking for his 3rd team in a year. I'm afraid his dumbass tweets were the CTE talking.
Zimmer is living in 1993 where he thinks everyone is making too much money except DB's, and DE's. Ignoring the interior lines on both sides of the ball in early rds. for his entire tenure is on him. and the sole reason for us not going deeper in the playoffs.
