Tom Pelissero of NFL Media is reporting that the Vikings are set to sign Texans free agent EDGE Jonathan Greenard to a contract.
According to Adam Schefter, Greenard is signing a four-year, $76 million contract with $42 million guaranteed.
The addition of Greenard likely means Danielle Hunter won’t be back in Minnesota.
Greenard was a highly productive edge rusher for the Texans last year and among the best available players in this year’s free agent class.
Greenard, 26, was a one-year starter at Florida after transferring from Louisville as a senior. He earned first-team All-SEC honors last season before the Texans selected him with the No. 90 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Greenard played out the final year of his four-year, $4,584,223 rookie contract that includes an $893,982 signing bonus.
In 2023, Greenard appeared in 15 games for the Texans and recorded 52 tackles, 12.5 sacks, a forced fumble and two pass defenses.
We had him included in our Top 100 – 2024 NFL Free Agents list.
