Vikings veteran Chad Greenway to announce retirement

Chad Greenway says his work isn’t done in Minnesota, but his stalwart playing career has come to an end.

Greenway, one of the most durable and productive defenders in Vikings history, was a leading tackler in purple during a decade that boasted five top-10 defenses. His sure tackling on the field mirrored his constant presence as a community leader off of it.

The 34-year-old Greenway will officially announce his retirement Tuesday. The two-time Pro Bowler and team captain walks away ranking fourth among the Vikings’ all-time leading tacklers, trailing only Scott Studwell, Matt Blair and Jeff Siemon.
