Chad Greenway again ready to fend off youngsters in his final(?) NFL season

Before Chad Greenway re-signed with the Vikings in March, he watched them add a challenger for his starting gig in free-agent outside linebacker Emmanuel Lamur. And a few weeks after Greenway signed on the dotted line, the Vikings drafted yet another linebacker in Kentrell Brothers, the fifth they have drafted at Greenway’s position in the past three years.

If Greenway feels threatened about his job security, he isn’t letting on.

“That’s the NFL,” Greenway said. “Bringing in Emmanuel this year is huge for us. He’s going to help us win. So it’s less about the competition within the group and more about what we can do to provide wins on Sunday.
