duced the pending legal actions involving his football career by 50 percent.Via Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-riley-reiff-jersey , Floyd has withdrawn a grievance challenging the Vikings’ decision to place him on the non-football injury list in 2017. Floyd had claimed that the Vikings should have placed him on injured reserve — and paid his full salary — since the condition that prevented him from playing was the result of a football injury.With Floyd now suing Dr. James Andrews for $180 million as a result of the allegedly botched surgery that ended Floyd’s career, Floyd’s lawyers likely decided that an argument based on the condition that kept him from playing being a football injury versus the product of medical malpractice could undermine the lawsuit against Andrews.NFL teams have no obligation to pay a player on the NFI list. The Vikings opted to pay Floyd half of his $4 million salary. He’d been seeking the remaining $1.9 million from the Vikings; Floyd will now attempt to get that money (and plenty more) from Andrews.With the grievance withdrawn, the Vikings gain $3.9 million in cap space.
