When Everson Griffen was signed by the Cowboys shortly before the start of the season, it was seen as a huge addition to a team with a loaded pass rush. Nearly halfway through the season Dallas has already decided to move on from the underperforming defensive end.
For the Cowboys, this trade allows them to send half of the $6 million in salary to the Lions during a tough season, Rapoport added.
The veteran pass rusher won’t be available Sunday against the Colts because of COVID-19 protocols, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported.
