MINNEAPOLIS -- Other than the loss of offensive linemen John Sullivan and Phil Loadholt, the Minnesota Vikings mostly escaped major injuries to their veteran players in 2015. The durability of their older players, in particular, helped earn some of them a little extra money.
Linebacker Chad Greenway, cornerback Terence Newman and defensive end Brian Robison were among the Vikings who maxed out their per-game roster bonuses by being on the 46-man active roster for all 16 games. Greenway, who restructured his 2015 contract last offseason, made $500,000 in roster bonuses, earning an extra $31,250 for each game.
