The Minnesota Vikings have already made significant investments in defense during free agency, and they have now added to their secondary.
On Tuesday, the team agreed to terms with cornerback Shaquill Griffin.
Griffin, who will be 29 before the start of the next season, has appeared in 89 regular-season games over his seven NFL seasons.

He was a big part of the Seattle secondary from 2017-2020, earning a Pro Bowl nod following the 2019 season, but has dealt with injuries the past couple of years. After four years with the Seahawks, he spent two years in Jacksonville before splitting last season between Houston and Carolina.
In total, he’s recorded 354 tackles, 7 interceptions, 64 passes defended and 1 sack during his career.
The former third-round pick provides more experience in Minnesota’s young cornerbacks room that is also in need of more depth, although Byron Murphy, Jr., Mekhi Blackmon, Akayleb Evans, Andrew Booth, Jr., A.J. Green III, NaJee Thompson, Jaylin Williams and Joejuan Williams are all under contract for 2024.
