Remember that time when the Minnesota Vikings were favorites for the Super Bowl? Enter the wild card round against the Rams, and their dreams of glory were brutally crushed. But hey, let’s not forget one thing. Jonathan Greenard, the Vikings’ linebacker, has been out there making waves since he first stepped onto the field in that purple and gold. Standing at 6’3″ and tipping the scales at 259 pounds, Greenard isn’t just some big guy on the field — he’s a total game-changer for the team.

His story? Well, after being drafted by the Texans in the 2020 NFL draft, the 27-year-old started his pro football career against the Vikings. And now he has found his true potential while playing for the Vikings. Talk about a divine intervention. But here’s the thing: his entry to the Vikings’ locker room brought him a massive paycheck and a long-time deal with the team. Sure, his performance on the field has paid off, but let’s take a look at what that actually means for his bank account.

What is Jonathan Greenard’s net worth and salary?

First things first. Five seasons in the NFL already, and Greenard has an estimated net worth of around $80 million. These hefty numbers surely create a buzz around the Vikings fans. But how did he get there? Well, thanks to his NFL contracts, especially the latest one with the Vikings, that played a major part in building his net worth.

After wrapping up his rookie deal with the Texans, the 27-year-old put pen to paper for a whopping $76 million contract in 2024 with the Vikings. Hmm, that’s a massive deal if we compare it to his rookie deal. But what are the terms of his new contract? The deal includes a $16.5 million signing bonus with an extravagant $38 million guaranteed, loud and clear.

And when we round that up, Jonathan Greenard is making an annual average salary of $19 million. Well, enough for an LB who had an impeccable debut season with the Vikings. Speaking of which, Greenard will now enter his sophomore season with the Minnesota team and is all set to rake in a handsome paycheck of around $18.3 million in 2025. Pretty solid, huh? Wait until you hear this season’s stats.

Besides his hefty NFL contract, Greenard is surely making some pretty chunks from endorsement deals. Though we don’t have any information about his endorsement deals, one thing’s for sure. Whether landing deals with sports brands, energy drinks, or anything else, some big-name brands must be knocking on his door.

How long is the Vikings LB’s contract?

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—that contract! Let me break that down for you, it’s not just a one-year deal for the LB. In early 2024, the Vikings and Greenard negotiated a 4-year long contract that’s going to keep him in Minnesota until 2027. That’s right, folks. Jonathan Greenard has three more seasons left in his bucket with the Vikings. But let’s be real. The massive paychecks and duration contract are not the major highlights of this contract, right?

It’s the role that Greenard plays for the team. Take the 2024 season, for instance. The 27-year-old LB was a force on the field and a threat to the opposition. He started every game that he played for the team and racked up 41 tackles and 18 assists, bringing the total to 59 combined tackles. Oh, and there’s more, or should we say, there are much better stats. He wrapped up his debut season with the Vikings with 18 TFL and a whopping 12 sacks.

His performance peaked in November when the Vikings went a perfect 4-0 record. The result? Oh, the NFL recognized him as the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for November. Sure, the Vikings fell short to the Rams in the wildcard round but one thing’s pretty much clear with this season. When it comes to his ability to rack up sacks and make tackles, Jonathan Greenard will always stand at the top for his team.
