BLUE 1,026 Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: Vikings.com's Mike Wobschall reports that the Vikings and SLB Chad Greenway remain interested in working out a long-term deal.The Vikings' franchise player this season, Greenway is set to make $10.091 million. Greenway's 145 tackles were fourth in the NFL in 2010, and if he's similarly productive in 2011, he's a good bet to be locked up by Minnesota with a long-term deal.

seanbrock 1,684 Posted July 4, 2011 why wouldn't you want to sign your second best player next to Kevin Williams long term? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSUViking 184 Posted July 5, 2011 I am interested in this as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 5, 2011 I think all 32 teams are interested in signing him long term lol. Hopefully Minny locks him up, though. The one thing about the NFL is that star players can stay in every market, so that's nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: Vikings signed SLB Chad Greenway to a multi-year contract extension.Greenway was previously under contract through 2011 on a $10.091 million franchise tender. Though he's yet to make a Pro Bowl, the 28-year-old is one of the stoutest and best all-around 4-3 linebackers in football. Pro Football Focus graded Greenway as the fifth best player in the league at the position last season. Also an IDP stud, he's averaging 116 tackles a year over the past four seasons. The Vikings confirmed their high opinion of Greenway by franchising him over both Sidney Rice and Ray Edwards during the winter.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted September 5, 2011 This is great news. Greenway supplanted Lance Briggs as the best LB in the division last year. Minny had to lock him up. Glad they were smart enough to do it before locking up AP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted September 6, 2011 Great move by the Vikings. Greenway is a very good LB that doesn't get much credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
