Vikings franchise Greenway
The Minnesota Vikings have placed the franchise tag on linebacker Chad Greenway.
The linebacker has become the heart and soul of the Minnesota defense, especially after E.J. Henderson missed major time with a leg injury.
He lead the team with 144 tackles last year and is also considered the quarterback of their defense by receiving the calls from the coach and relaying it to the other players.
Head coach Leslie Frazier said that Greenway is obviously a great player, but also a tremendous teammate both on and off of the field.
By slapping Greenway with the franchise tag, the Vikings now must find another way to keep wide receiver Sidney Rice on board.
