Six sacks in 2020
Griffen recorded 33 tackles, six sacks and four pass breakups over 14 games in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Griffen played in seven games for Dallas before being traded to Detroit midseason. The 33-year-old provided a spark to a dormant Lions pass rush and ultimately put up respectable numbers in limited playing time. While Griffen is probably past the point in his career when he can be relied upon as an every-down starter, the former Viking at least showed he has something left in the tank this year despite his advanced age. Griffen will now enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent who shouldn't be hurting for suitors when the new league year starts up in March.

Griffen missed five games in the 2018 campaign to address concerns regarding his mental health and the defensive end never seemed to get back into a rhythm following his return. The Vikings could have saved over $10 million by releasing the veteran in the offseason, but the team and player managed to work out a restructured contract that would keep Griffen in Minnesota for another season. The 31-year-old averaged almost 11 sacks over the course of the previous four seasons so it's quite possible Griffen could return to pass-rushing prominence with the mental health issue hopefully behind him.
