Jonathan Greenard

26-Year-Old Defensive EndDE
Minnesota Vikings
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Greenard was limited to eight games in 2022 due to a calf injury and recorded just 1.5 sacks after leading the Texans the previous season with eight. The addition of Jerry Hughes (nine sacks) helped fill the void, and he's back along with 2023 third-overall pick Will Anderson. Greenard enters the fourth and final year of his rookie deal, and the end should be motivated for his next contract. He or Hughes will start at one end, but the playing time could tilt toward the 26-year-old Greenard, as the 35-year-old Hughes wore down in the second half. Read Past Outlooks

Set for four-year deal with Vikings
DEMinnesota Vikings
March 11, 2024
Greenard is slated to ink a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Greenard put together a career year across 15 regular-season games in 2023, the final year of his deal with the Texans. With 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble, Greenard earned himself a notable payday, now becoming a pillar of the Vikings' defense. Minnesota will have to hope Greenard can consistently replicate the production levels of his 2023 campaign, which isn't a sure thing considering that across the first three years of his career, he racked up 10.5 sacks combined. The arrival of Greenard could signal that Danielle Hunter won't ultimately re-sign with the Vikings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to re-sign with Houston
DEHouston Texans
February 4, 2024
Coach DeMeco Ryans made it clear that re-signing Greenard will be a priority for the Texans in the offseason, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. "We'll continue to build with our fronts," Ryans said of Houston's roster construction. "Start at the front and build backwards, that's how I envision it, and Jonathan had a really great year."
ANALYSIS
Greenard is an unrestricted free agent after posting a career-high 12.5 sacks for the Texans in 2023. Bien-Aime points out that Houston has $61.8 million in available cap space, which should give the team plenty of breathing room in extension negotiations with the pass rusher, who will turn 27 in May.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Perhaps it’s not sustainable over a bigger workload, but Greenard was extremely productive on 398 snaps last year, generating eight sacks for a Texans team that was almost always trailing. A foot injury derailed the second half of Greenard’s 2021 season – he posted all eight of his sacks from Week 3 to Week 12, and he might have breezed past double-digit sacks if not for suffering the injury in Week 11.
