Vikings | GM mum on reunion with Everson Griffen

Free-agent DL Everson Griffen (Vikings) has previously expressed an openness to returning to the Minnesota Vikings, but Vikings general manager Rick Spielman didn’t answer directly when questioned about a potential reunion Tuesday, April 21. ‘All of those guys not Everson but everybody in general that we lost were great people for us, great players for us and that we’re just going through a little bit of an evolution on the roster right now,’ Spielman said.

Vikings | Stefon Diggs’ deal too good to pass up

Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs wasn’t shopped around in trade talks, according to Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman Tuesday, April 21, but he said the offer from the Bills was too good to turn down. ‘We had no intention of trading Diggs at the combine. Great player for us,’ said Spielman. Spielman said the deal was good for both the player and the team. The Vikings received a 2020 first-round pick, a 2020 fifth-round pick, a 2020 sixth-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick in exchange for Diggs and a seventh-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Footballguys View: The Vikings are going to be able to add a rookie wide receiver — and a damn good one — in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. This is the greatest WR draft class of all time and someone like Justin Jefferson (LSU) could fall to the Vikings. Whatever receiver they draft in the first round will take the spot of Diggs on the depth chart.
