"I expect him to be part of our team. I know there's always conversations. There's conversations this week. There's conversations throughout the offseason, and we'll continue to kind of attack things at the different phases."
"The Vikings were open to trading Greenard as they worked through a salary cap deficit. Greenard's $19 million salary for 2026 sits in a tier below the top pass rushers in the league."
"Greenard recorded 12.5 sacks and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2024 but was slowed by a shoulder injury that ultimately required season-ending surgery in 2025."
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell plans for linebacker Jonathan Greenard to be part of the team this season amid trade rumors. O'Connell acknowledged ongoing conversations regarding roster adjustments as the team prepares for the draft. Greenard, who has a $19 million salary for 2026, may be traded if an appealing offer arises. He previously played for the Texans, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2024, but faced challenges due to a shoulder injury. The Vikings aim to maintain a strong group of outside linebackers, including Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Dallas Turner.
