Heimdallr Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 4 years on top of the existing 2 years? It is definitely great to get him locked up though. He is one of the most productive pass rushers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Griffen, Hunter, and Robison were all set to be unrestricted free agents following the 2018 season. We know Robison will likely retire when his contract is up, and we know Hunter and Griffen are going to be expensive. Signing Griffen to an extension now, allows them to front load the deal, get Griffen his money, and then make it easier to sign Hunter in 2019.

SteelKing728 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Its already his 3rd contract with us. Jeez time flies. But he sure is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Good stuff. Hopefully he can remain productive into his next contract. He's come so far from being that troublemaking 4th round pick out of USC in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guaranteed money is likely going to be done after the next 2-3 years. And given how athletic Griffen is, it's very conceivable that he'll be very effective in his mid 30s.
