The Vikings are in win-now mode and with Everson Griffen still a free agent, they could end up needing to sign another veteran defensive end. His departure is not guaranteed though considering how he recently told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network ‘never say never’ about a possible return.

Something to watch is the chain reaction that could occur after Jadeveon Clowney makes his decision in free agency. If Clowney departs, it may not be the Vikings’ choice to circle back to Griffen as he has been linked to the Seattle Seahawks as a possible replacement option.

The current landscape of the defensive end position suggests that Jabaal Sheard would be the Vikings’ top option to replace Griffen. Minnesota does have multiple first-round picks and while they could use an early-round pick on an edge defender, it would help to have an established veteran in addition.
