Everson Griffen signs with Minnesota Vikings, says he regrets leaving to sign elsewhere in 2020

EAGAN, Minn. -- Veteran free-agent pass-rusher Everson Griffen signed with the Minnesota Vikings, the team announced Monday.

The terms of Griffen's contract were not disclosed.

Griffen, 33, was selected by Minnesota in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft and spent a decade with the Vikings. From 2010 to '19, Griffen totaled 74.5 sacks, which ranks seventh in franchise history. He was named a Pro Bowler four times in Minnesota, including three straight seasons from 2015 to '17.

In February 2020, Griffen opted out of his contract and became a free agent.
