Vikings Open to Trading Pro Bowl OLB Jonathan Greenard for Cap Relief

The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly 'open' to trading Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (28) to alleviate salary cap issues, as his 2026 cap hit is $22.15 million; a trade could save over $12 million. Greenard, who had a career-best 12 sacks in 2024, was limited to 12 games in 2025 due to a shoulder injury, recording 3.0 sacks. While the Vikings prefer to keep him, a release is possible if no trade partner emerges. Potential landing spots include the Ravens, Bengals, Jets, Eagles, and Buccaneers, all seeking pass-rush help.
