Vikings Consider Trading Greenard, Freeing Up Cap Space

The Minnesota Vikings are considering trading pass-resher, Jonathan Greenard, as NFL free agency approaches. ESPN reports the team wants to keep him, but faces tough salary-capped decisions, with over $45 million in excess space. To fix that, the Vikings plan to release running back Aaron Jones and defensive tackle, John Javon Hargrave. Greenard signed a four-year, $76 million deal last March, with two years left on it. A former Houston Texan, Grunard made his first pro-bowl last season, with 12 sacks in Minnesota. But in shoulder injury, limited him to three sacks the year before, forcing surgery and five missed games. Teams like the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills could be fits. Each needs a boost on the edge, from Baltimore's push for Lamar Jackson's prime, to San Francisco's

1:01week-sack total of just 20 last year. Fans and analysts see this as a win-win, giving contenders a proven bet while easing Minnesota's cap crunch.
