Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard is among the hottest commodities on the offseason trade market. Although Greenard didn’t wow spectators with his play/production this season, his 24. 5 total sacks during the previous two campaigns prove he’s a superstar defender who’s beginning to come into his own.
In a blockbuster trade idea from ESPN’s Bill Barnwell , the Kansas City Chiefs would land Greenard in a deal that would send the Vikings a Super Bowl champion defensive end. “Chiefs get: 1-18, 3-97, and edge Jonathan Greenard , and Vikings get: 1-9, edge Felix Anudike-Uzomah,” Barnwell wrote Monday. This trade would value the difference between Greenard and Anudike-Uzomah -- a former first-round pick who hasn't impressed with the Chiefs -- as being worth the 54th pick, according to the Johnson chart, in a typical draft.
” “The Vikings would move up from No. 18 to No. 9 and put defensive coordinator Brian Flores in line to add one of the premier defensive backs in this year's class.
