But Minnesota has made a move to improve its defense.
According to a report from NFL Media, the Vikings have agreed to sign edge rusher Jonathan Greenard.
As an initial report on Greenard’s numbers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes the deal is for four years and worth $76 million with $42 million guaranteed.
Greenard, 26, was a third-round pick in the 2020 draft and just completed his rookie deal. He put together his best season in 2023, recording 12.5 sacks with 15 tackles for loss and 22 quarterback hits. He also had a pair of passes defensed and a forced fumble.
In 48 games with 32 starts, Greenard has 23.0 sacks, 32 TFLs, 41 QB hits, and eight passes defensed.
Greenard was No. 34 on PFT’s list of top 100 free agents.
19 Million a year for this guy??? I'd have rather kept Hunter for 23 or even a little more.
Might be a Davenport replacement rather than Hunter.
He missed time in his career with injury just like Davenport.
Greenard hasn’t been healthy throughout his career. He missed the final two games of this year with an ankle injury and has yet to play a full season in his career. Greenard missed four games in 2021 with a foot injury and half of the 2022 season with a calf injury. There’s no guarantee the Texans will ever see a full season from him after giving Greenard a big extension. https://texanswire.usatoday.com/lists/p ... -greenard/

Looks like another Marcus Davenport to me. What were the Vikings thinking signing this guy.
No he's not Marcus Davenport at all. He is a player on the rise without significant health concerns. Davenport was a player in decline with significant health concerns.

Cousins signing with the Falcons(apparently)
Guess, we're taking a QB at 11?
I'd guess they take a QB in the 20-somethings after they trade down to get back into the 3rd round.
Maybe sign a FA QB and hold onto whoever they think was best from the leftovers last season. Wouldn't shock me if one was signed as early as today or tomorrow with the Cousins news. Best QB of that group will start.

Former Dolphins LB Andrew Van Ginkel agreed to terms on a 2-year deal with the Vikings for $20 million, including $14 million guaranteed. The deal was confirmed by agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha.

4 years 180 million, 50 million signing bonus, 100 million guaranteed. Way way to much.
They doubled my 2/90 offer. Damn that is risky business.
Contracts coming out are pretty lucrative. RBs signing in the division...Jacobs and Swift.
Might be some bargains towards end of FA. But they have to want to sign with us.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Remember, with Kirk, it's not about the $$$ /s
I don't really blame the guy, but don't say one thing, and do the other...
That’s the part that got me. Kirk said the only think missing from his trophy room was a Super Bowl, with his age, injury and learning a new offence I can safely say the chances of that have extremely dropped. But like you said, they often say one thing and do another and money seems to be more important than winning for him.

Great signing.
The hottest new mn law firm: Greenard and Van Ginkel.

Per SkorNorth we have signed LB Blake Cashman. Spotrac projected 2 years $8 million. We signed him for 3 years 25 million. He was actually the 8th rated LB per PFF.
