Vikings DE Everson Griffin played only 25.3 percent of the team's 2011 defensive snaps, but finished fourth on the team in sacks (4.0) and racked up 14 quarterback pressures.
Beat writer Tom Pelissero is adamant Griffen deserves more playing time, but the Vikings haven't found creative ways to do it. Per Pelissero, who charted all of Minnesota's 2011 defensive snaps, Griffen displayed "a variety of pass-rush moves from both end spots" and was "OK in the run game, too." Highly athletic, Griffen also finished second on the Vikings with 18 special teams tackles.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities
The Vikings will give DE Everson Griffen a look as a stand-up outside linebacker in practice this week.
Coach Leslie Frazier says the Vikings "for sure" want Griffen available if needed at linebacker, especially on the weak side. Griffen is 6-foot-3, 273, but runs a legit 4.6 forty and could add a new dimension to Minnesota's pass rush if the position switch sticks. It's also a nod to rookie DL Christian Ballard, whom the Vikings have been extremely pleased with in the preseason.

Vikings DE Everson Griffen is anxious to move on from his arrest-marred offseason.
"I had a little rough stretch," Griffen said. "That's not me at all. I'm just trying to make changes. I've got big years coming up. I'm just trying to show the Minnesota Vikings I'm here for good." All charges stemming from Griffen's two January arrests have been dropped, but it's possible he could still be facing a league-mandated suspension for his poor behavior at the end of the lockout.

St. Paul Pioneer Press
VP of player personnel Rick Spielman insists the Vikings still have "a lot of high expectations" for troubled DE Everson Griffen.
Coach Leslie Frazier recently had a heart-to-heart with Griffen in an effort to set him straight after two offseason arrests. With Ray Edwards and Brian Robison set to hit free agency, Griffen will be counted on for a much bigger role in 2011.

Adrian Peterson (ACL, MCL, meniscus surgery) believes he's "50-50" to be participate in training camp.
"I feel like I will be able to get out there and you call a run play or whatever, I'll be able to go through practice. That's how I feel. That's my mindset," said Peterson. "But I'm going to follow the protocol. Whatever the Vikings and their staff want me to do, then I'm gonna do that; but I'm not going to hinder myself. I'm going to let those guys know how I feel."

Jerome Simpson
Suspended
According to the National Football Post, one NFL team thinks Vikings WR Jerome Simpson would be making $5 million a year if not for his fall arrest.
He ended up accepting a one-year, $2 million prove-it deal. $5 million is optimistic for Simpson, but he's reportedly not perceived as a "bad kid" despite being arrested for having 2.5 pounds of marijuana mailed to his house in September. Some teams do think highly of Simpson's ability, so a strong 2012 season could earn him a big pay raise next offseason.
