Spent 6 months wringing hands over the WR3 when he was on the team all along. Osborn's rise has to be the biggest surprise of camp. I didn't even have him making the team. 
You, me, and everyone else that closely follows the team.  Lol Hopefully he can translate this strong camp play to regular season production.

Thats how i see it also. i remeber last year in camp they talked about him flashing but then he was pretty much worthless in games.  

Hopefully with his consistency in camp this year translates to gamedays. 

Alot of all pro’s didnt produce their first couple years.  

All these guys from last year had promise bit didnt show up in games.  Osborn, Lynch, Samia. etc. its hard to be patient as a fan

In that boat as well. If Kirk and some of the other starters are planning to play a few drives in the next couple of preseason games then I say you make WR3 a tryout in those. See how they all look and go from there

Heard the Vikings FTW guy say that the Vikings will work him out now, but if they sign him, it may not happen until after week 1. That eliminates guaranteed money in his contract and allows the Vikings to sneak a guy on the PS a week after final cut feeding frenzy.

Reunion: The #Vikings are expected to sign veteran pass-rusher Everson Griffen, who worked out for his old friends last week, source said. Griffen had 6 sacks last year for the #Cowboys and #Lions, but spent every season prior in Minnesota.

Everson Griffen in 2020:

- 63.2 overall grade
- 73.6 pass rush grade (80.1 once traded to Detroit)
- 33 pressures

His pass rush grade would’ve been higher than any 2020 #Vikings pass rusher outside of Yannick Ngakoue (74.3)

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.

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.

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?

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
