We have a lot of unproven, young DE's (Jones and Robinson drafted this year, Wonnum drafted last year). Hopefully it doesn't say anything about them.

Griffen is back, looks like they put Janarius Robinson on the IR in what is probably a stash move.

harrison smith extension, 4 years $64m - $26m guaranteed. now the second highest paid safety in the league

it will be nice for him to finish his career as a viking

Traded for a tight end, Chris Herndon. Not familiar with him, but we gave up a 4th rounder (got a 6th back). Probably means Smith will be out for a while.
