EDGE Everson Griffen, Minnesota Vikings
Griffen had a pretty fantastic season in 2019, posting eight sacks, 41 combined tackles, two passes defended and an interception returned for 17 yards. Having spend his entire nine-year career with Minnesota might make it hard for the Vikings to part with Griffen but they might not have much of a choice as they’re expected to be more than $11 million in the negative on the 2020 NFL salary cap, according to Over the Cap.
At 32 years old, Griffen isn’t likely going to get top offers if he enters free agency in spite of his production. Which, will likely make him a great bang-for-the-buck option for the Ravens.
Even if Griffen isn’t a three-down player at this stage in his career, Baltimore simply needs to find guys who can go get the quarterback. That could be even more of a priority if Judon leaves in free agency, taking away the Ravens only consistent pass-rush threat. Giving Griffen a shot at a Super Bowl ring and a more limited role could intrigue him enough to even sign for a little less than market value.
