Social media reaction to DE Jonathan Greenard agreeing to join Vikings

Houston Texans offensive tackle Tytus Howard was among those to wish Jonathan Greenard well after he agreed to join the Minnesota Vikings.

The Houston Texans lost their 2023 sack leader after defensive end Jonathan Greenard agreed to join the Minnesota Vikings when the 2024 league year begins on Wednesday afternoon.

Greenard agreed to sign a massive four-year, $76 million deal that includes $42 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s a big deal for a big player after Greenard wracked up 12.5 sacks this past season. He’s also a homegrown player who’s been in Houston since the team took him in the third round in 2020.

Naturally, Texans fans had mixed feelings about the loss of Greenard. He was a great defensive star this past season but came with a high price this offseason.

Here are the biggest social media reactions to Greenard’s new deal, including a shoutout from now ex-Texans teammate Tytus Howard:

 

 

The Texans will see Greenard again in 2024. Houston will play the Vikings in Minnesota at some point this season.

In the meantime, the team will need to find his replacement opposite NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Will Anderson Jr.
