Vikings adding yet another new face through free agency this time signing cornerback Shaquille Griffin on a oneyear up to $6 million deal so pretty Team friendly a bunch of incentives I’m honestly shocked by this I honest to God thought after the recent run of player signings we’ve had
Jerry Tillery Dan feny Trent sherfield Jonah Williams that I was just saying all right I’m chalking this up to the splash signings are done starting players that you are going to be that they’re going to be immediate contributors that’s over with now they’re signing players for the sake of
Depth although I do fear that there is some sort of plan I don’t know outside looking in that Jerry Tillery May contend for a starting role on the interior defensive line I certainly hope not because to me he’s the second coming of Dean Lowry and we saw how that worked out but I
Digress I thought we were done significant signings are over with this isn’t a big signing but it is significant Shaquille Griffin last year played for two teams starting with the Houston Texans and then finishing off with the Carolina Panthers had a bit of a rough outing with Houston allowing a
64% completion rate play 10 games there six starts and then in Carolina albeit a smaller sample size compared to Houston three games one start played going from a 64% completion rate allowed down to 43% and between both teams zero touchdowns given up so a bit of a Ben
But don’t break kind of player still inconsistent this is why it’s a sign ific signing I think this puts a Caleb Evans on notice a Caleb Evans last year was a Borderline Disaster it was bad I think this is foreshadowing a training camp battle in the making between
Shaquille Griffin and AAA beev because think about the cornerback room right now there are two guys that I at least probably you as well feel good about that yep they are guys on the starting unit Byron Murphy Jr and Makai Blackman his second year out of USC AAA Evans you
Haven’t earned anything how so let me count the ways AAA Evans last year allowed a 70% completion rate gave up six touchdowns and had a 20% Mis tackle rate this is all according to pro football reference he has shown nothing nothing you have to find any sort of
Ways to improve any players that are quite frankly letting you down having done that with the interior defensive line but I’m not going to keep going down that road I keep saying that but I end up doing it Whatever A Caleb Evans has proven nothing and every move that
This team makes not to say that Brian Flores is saying go get me those players but I think at least qu Oma and K they run those players that they’re thinking about through him and then he gives the thumbs up or thumbs down Brian Flores wants Shaq Griffin and for good reason
Caleb Evans I mean a 70% completion rate allowed last year your first year you allowed a 64% completion rate so if you you’ve actually regress this is a big year for him and this would I mean if he f apart man then it it puts another it
Puts another bad mark on that 2022 draft class but this is a significant signing sha Griffin welcome to Minnesota

i like the depth signing!!! now lets get that franchise qb!
Well at least its not Xavien Howard.
Evan and Murphy played the same in my opinion… my good not horrible
I disagree on akayleb evans threat to me its pressure on andrew booth who cant get a whiff of playing time hes getting andrew booth spot
Dude sucks ass
I believe this makes 63 players now under contract. There’s a lot of guys on notice. We only get 53 and we haven’t had the draft yet.
Evans is a DAWG. Best corner on the team
Get pick 3 already
Are the Texans our BFF?! That 1st round trade was initiated by the Texans!! 🤯
Booth was worse then Evans
Just here to see all the crybaby fans cry about this signing too
let's be honest our cornerbacks suck, haz beens & do nothings, we need a couple of solid DT'S bad 🥵
Why? He sucked last year. Im telling you, the worst GM in the NFL thinks he is playing Madden. "Oh, i recognize that name…click….YAY…signed" Ive never seen a team sign so many bottom 50% of their position, players, in one off season. Its like he didnt do his homework all semester and now its Sunday night at 11pm and its all due tomorrow morning. If you want to win you sign 2 difference makers not 12 bench warmers. All you do by bringing in all these mid marthas, is create a team with no identity, no chemistry, and no stability.
This season is going to be a mess. Then y'all will accept i was right all along. The Vikings are a poorly run organization. The only decent hire theyve made in years is O'Connell….but look what he's surrounded by —
I had high expectations for Tillery coming out of ND. Maybe he can get it turned around?
I agree this is a solid veteran depth signing that will push the 2 fringe CB's Evans and Booth to either step up or get cut.
Let Kwesi Cook!
We are gonna have such a good team with no qb 😢
Ahkello Witherspoon would have been ideal. If we have the money we should sign him too
Xavien must want big money
I would give Risner 6 big to stay with us.
Who cares…how bout get some signing for Jet.
I like this pick up 😈
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 47 times with 47 mediocre cornerbacks, shame on me.
It’s significant because it was a complete waste of $6 million.
Now get rid of A. Evan’s!
When are the Vikings releasing Lewis Cine? Maybe he can fill in as the towel guy until then.
Have you ever imagined what the other Shaq would have been like if he had chosen football instead of basketball? I guess he played TE in HS. He would have caught the ball over everyone and I could not imagine trying to tackle him.
He was good. In Seahawks. Get his brother to. Yeah
Calling Akaylab Evans a "borderline disaster" is very charitable.
