Why would the Vikings willingly surrender a top-100 pick to sign Griffin?
Over a month later, the Vikings' decision to sign veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin to a one-year, $4.55 million deal in late March remains baffling. Not because of anything related to Griffin himself; he's a solid player who fits Brian Flores' scheme and will likely start for Minnesota this year. It was a puzzling move because it appears to have
The Vikings were projected to receive a pair of third-round comp picks for losing Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter in free agency this year. At least, that was the case until they signed Griffin. He became the fifth qualifying compensatory free agent added by the Vikings, who lost six of them in March. That means that even though Griffin signed for far less than Hunter got to join the Texans, his addition cancelled out the pick the Vikings were set to receive for Hunter's departure.
Unless the Vikings know something we don't, it's hard to understand why they risked losing such a valuable draft pick like they did. Again, Griffin is a solid player who will help the 2024 Vikings, but this isn't a team that has a realistic path to competing for a championship this year. With Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, this appears to be a transitional season for the Vikings, whose over/under win total is just 6.5 at most sportsbooks.
