Report: Everson Griffen, Seahawks have mutual interest

Everson Griffen recently announced that he will not be returning to the Minnesota Vikings next season, and a market is beginning to develop for the veteran defensive end.

Griffen has interest in joining the Seattle Seahawks, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. The interest is said to be mutual, especially with the Seahawks not certain to re-sign Jadeveon Clowney.

The Seahawks have reportedly offered Clowney a deal in the $13-15 million per year range, but he is seeking significantly more than that. There does not appear to be a whole lot of interest in Clowney at his asking price, however, so it’s possible he could rethink that offer from Seattle weeks or months down the road.

Griffen, 32, is a four-time Pro Bowler who had eight sacks last season. We know of at least one other team that could be interested in signing him, so the Seahawks may not be able to wait too long if they are treating him as a Plan B behind Clowney.
