Vikings Open to Jonathan Greenard Trade: Report
Trading Jonathan Greenard could free $12 million in cap space but create nearly $10 million in dead money as Vikings address a $43 million salary cap shortfall.
- On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings said they were open to trading outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard as the team entered this month roughly $43 million over the NFL salary cap.
- The Vikings face an estimated $45 million over the 2026 cap, and planned releases of Javon Hargrave and Aaron Jones are expected to save about $18.65 million.
- Cap estimators show a trade would free about $12 million and carry just under $10 million in dead money, according to Over the Cap.
- A Greenard trade would elevate edge rusher as an early draft priority, as the Vikings still roster Andrew Van Ginkel, outside linebacker, and Turner, 17th overall pick in 2024.
- A former Houston Texan, Greenard has two seasons with Minnesota under his belt, including a 12-sack Pro Bowl 2024 year, but last year’s shoulder injury and surgery limited him to three sacks and 47 pressures.
