Chad Greenway, the linebacker has been included in the franchise of the Minnesota Vikings, which was announced Monday. Greenway has led the team with 144 tackles this season, is seen by the Vikings as an attraction of a defense facing offseason changes.

Greenway, who started his career with Minnesota Vikings, was drafted in the first round of the 2006 NFL and has got a five-year experience playing with Vikings; he has played 62 of the 64 games for Minnesota Vikings.

Leslie Frazier, the coach of Vikings, while speaking with the various sources has said that, Chad is an important part of our team and his play speaks for itself. His productive has continued to develop each and every year he has been playing in the NFL. Heâ€™s a leader for us in the locker room and on the field.

Chad Greenway has said that, he is happy to know that the Vikings value is enough to make this move, and said that it was a goal of mine since getting drafted to play with the Vikings in his whole career. He thinks that they are now one step closer to that and now he feel like the team has a bright future and he want to be a part of that.

The team does not intend to use the transition tag for now, according to a league source.

As the Vikings’ designated franchise player, Greenway is set to be tendered a one-year guaranteed contract that will pay him 120 percent of last yearâ€™s salary or the average of the top five highest-paid linebackers, whichever is higher.
