The Minnesota Vikings made one of the biggest splash moves on the first day of the legal tampering period by signing outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard to a four-year, $76 million deal. Until now, his contract details weren’t known yet to the public.
That has changed, as salary cap website Over The Cap has the details on his contract.
- 2024: $1.89 million base salary, $16.5 million signing bonus fully guaranteed
- 2025: $18.39 million base salary, $19 million cash guaranteed
- 2026: $18.39 million base salary
- 2027: $18.39 million base salary
- $510k in per-game roster bonuses and $100k in workout bonuses each year, fully guaranteed in 2024 and 2025
- Void years in 2028 and 2029
The basis of the contract is flexibility. The contract is lower in year one than in future years (salary cap charge of $5.74 million), where the Vikings have a ton of salary cap room. Having high base salaries in each year paired with the void years will allow general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to move money around at his disposal.
