The Minnesota Vikings have been open to shopping edge rusher Jonathan Greenard on the trade market. The only reason why they had been willing to is Greenard wanting a raise after two really good seasons with the Vikings.

Greenard signed a four-year, $76 million contract during the 2024 offseason and immediately made an impact with 84 pressures and 12.5 sacks. He finished just a few votes short of earning All-Pro honors.

That new contract hasn’t come yet, and it likely won’t be resolved until training camp. It’s relatively easy to solve it, and the latest news in the NFL could help expedite that.
