The Vikings worked defensive end Everson Griffen at linebacker Thursday. They want to get him on the field more in 2012, likely as a hybrid player.

Awesome news. Id love to see the Vikes use him similar to how the Broncos use Von Miller. Miller is a stand up pass rusher in base defenses but goes to DE in nickel and passing situations.


Griffen actually took a good amount of snaps at UT with Kevin moving over to NT in nickel situations last year. Excited to see him allover the field this year.


WOW. Now that is versatility right there!

I've got such high hopes for Griffen. His athleticism is a multifaceted weapon. If it isn't obvious from my gushing, I'll say it outright: I'm very, very excited to see him develop!

I thought i would post this here as it relates to the roster. The Vikings currently have $10.59 million in salary cap space.

Excellent, proof why it was needed to dump overpaid vets and undertake a youth movement.


That number will change once we hit our 53 man roster though, right?

Is there even a single FA out there worth a half decent contract? (that wouldn't cripple us in case a player gets injured mid season of course).

or perhaps, we don't plan on bringing in any more FAs.

sometimes Griffen was the first guy down the field on kickoffs too.

Interesting comments.
