The Cowboys have plenty of pass rushers. They’re willing to part ways with one of them.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Cowboys are making it known that defensive end Everson Griffen is available in trade.
Griffen has a $3 million salary and $3 million in per-game roster bonuses. This means that, with seven of 10 weeks completed, he’d be available for $1.76 million in salary and $187,500 for each game in which Griffen is on the active roster.
Griffen, a cornerstone for several years in Minnesota, has 2.5 sacks in seven games with the Cowboys.
Although the Cowboys are 2-5, they barely trail the Eagles for first place in the NFC East. This seems to be less about folding the tents and more about selling off an asset at a position where the Cowboys enjoy a surplus.
Griffen, an accomplished edge rusher and great leader, could help a contender like, say, the Seahawks, who would benefit from someone/anyone who can get to the quarterback. [Reply]

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is at a mental health facility in Minnesota after his wife contacted police Saturday.
Per Paul Walsh of the Star Tribune, Griffen was taken to the hospital after a series of events over the weekend.
Griffen's wife called authorities from their home after she claimed he "sped off in a vehicle with another person and was not wearing a shirt."
After Griffen returned later, a woman who was at the home of Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes told police she saw the three-time Pro Bowler walking around shirtless in the bushes outside of the house.
When police eventually caught up with Griffen, they put him in an ambulance that took him to Fairview Southdale Hospital.
Dispatch audio from the ambulance indicated medical personnel "were having trouble" controlling Griffen before police were able to get him restrained.
On Monday, KSTP's Ryan Raiche reported Griffen was named in a redacted police report for threatening to shoot someone at Hotel Ivy over the weekend.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Griffen "has been dealing for weeks with a serious, personal health-related issue." Pelissero also noted the Vikings "strongly" denied a report that Griffen had been arrested for "another alleged incident."
Griffen didn't play in the Vikings' 27-6 loss against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. He didn't practice Monday with what the team listed as a knee/not injury related issue.
The swim move that he used to jump out of the moving ambulance while he was going crazy is something that just can't be taught. You either have it or you don't. [Reply]
