Sharrif Floyd, Vikings Reach Settlement in Contract Grievance

The Minnesota Vikings and former defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd have reportedly settled their contract grievance, according to Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune on Friday.

Floyd filed a grievance against the Vikings in early November for the payment of the $6.7 million option in his contract for 2017, which Minnesota exercised in 2016, per SI.com's Albert Breer.

The Vikes placed Floyd on the non-football injury list after a knee procedure administered by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews allegedly resulted in permanent nerve and muscle damage in Floyd's right leg.
