"According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Minnesota Vikings are willing to trade Pro Bowl pass-rusher Jonathan Greenard for the right price. He's got a previous connection to Jones over the last two seasons, and it didn't take long for the Commanders' name to come up in speculation on social media."
"Greenard spent his last two seasons with the Vikings, gaining 12 sacks in 2024. This didn't go nearly as well last time around, with just three sacks in 10 starts. The Florida product didn't seem like himself after an injury, so he might get the benefit of the doubt from a team in desperate need of pass-rushing assistance."
"Very few will know more about his regression than Jones. He'll be able to provide general manager Adam Peters with useful information on the player and what really happened last season. But with 24.5 sacks in the two years prior, it's more intriguing than most."
The Washington Commanders need to improve their pass-rush defense, which underperformed last season with only Dorance Armstrong Jr. guaranteed to return. Defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, a rookie play-caller, is building a new defensive scheme. The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly willing to trade Pro Bowl pass-rusher Jonathan Greenard for the right price. Greenard has a previous connection to Jones from their two seasons together with the Vikings. He recorded 12 sacks in 2024 after posting 24.5 sacks over the two prior years, though he struggled last season with only three sacks in 10 starts following an injury. At 28 years old with two years remaining on his contract and no guaranteed money, Greenard represents a potentially affordable veteran option with proven capabilities.
