The Minnesota Vikings and franchised linebacker Chad Greenway have agreed to terms on a contract extension, head coach Leslie Frazier announced on Monday. Terms of the extension were not disclosed, but the long-term deal is expected to provide salary cap relief to the club. Greenway's franchise tender was worth $10.091 million in guaranteed base salary, leaving the club with very little room under their $123.93 million adjusted cap figure. A first-round pick (17th overall) in 2006 out of the University of Iowa, Greenway (6-2, 242) missed his rookie season with a knee injury, but has started 63 of 64 games over the last four seasons, totaling 463 tackles, 6.5 quarterback sacks, five interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown, and seven forced fumbles. Greenway has played at a Pro Bowl-level the last couple of seasons, leading the Vikings in tackles from 2008-10. Source: Mac's Football Blog
