Russini: Look for teams to return their attention to Greenard

[Chuckf]

I don't think it's quite an apples to apples comparison. You have to consider that Greenard's numbers are inflated by the Flores send-everyone defense. Many of his sacks are clean ups. 

I think the minimum I would take is a 2nd and a 4th. Look at the Eagles and 49ers. Eagles have two 3rds and two 4ths. 49ers have four 4ths. They also have pick 23 and 27 respectively.  

I think the Vikings are right for playing hardball on this. You don't get the deal you need, then just keep him. Greenard may be holding their feet to the fire though, because he's clearly not happy with his contract.

I guess I can see your point.   I can see the Vikings having what I believe a young superstar in the making in Dallas Turner who needs to be playing that position and Greenard wanting a new contract so it does make sense for the Vikings to move on and get the best deal they can, don't need holdout drama if Greenard wants to rework his deal.
