2024 Fantasy Outlook
Griffin finished his 2023 campaign with Carolina after being waived by the Texans in November. The veteran corner appeared in a total of 13 games between the two teams, making 39 tackles and defending four passes, including his first interception since 2020. A Pro Bowler in 2019, Griffin will bolster Minnesota's depth in the secondary after signing a one-year contract worth up to $6 million. He'll compete with Akayleb Evans for a staring role opposite Byron Murphy Jr. Read Past Outlooks

Returns to practice
Griffin (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Griffin hadn't practiced since late July due to the hamstring issue, so expect him to be eased back into action. He's unlikely to play in any preseason games but looks on track to play Week 1 of the regular season. He's expected to start opposite Stephon Gilmore with Byron Murphy playing in the slot.

After Kirk Cousins was allowed to walk in free agency, one of Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy will be under center for the Vikings in 2024, but the offense again will revolve around WR Justin Jefferson.

The Bryce Young-era in Carolina got off to a rocky start, to say the least. With better skill talent around him this season, he seems better positioned to fulfill his status as the No. 1 draft pick from 2023.

2018
Griffin was limited to just five games for Jacksonville in 2022 due to a back injury, which reared itself during organized team activities early in the summer. The 28-year-old cornerback is a former Pro Bowler who will compete with Steven Nelson and Desmond King for the spot opposite Derek Stingley. Nelson was the primary starter last season, but there are no guarantees under the new coaching regime.

Among top free agents left
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com ranks Griffin as the second-best free agent remaining after edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue.
ANALYSIS
Griffin was released by the Jaguars after a disappointing 2022 season in which he struggled when available and missed 11 games due to hip and back injuries. If Griffin can regain health, he would be an enticing bounce-back candidate for teams in need of help in the secondary. The 27-year-old cornerback has 72 NFL starts under his belt.
