Vikings: Chad Greenway embraces role as team's elder statesman

When the Vikings waived long snapper Cullen Loeffler last week, the team's senior statesman tag moved to linebacker Chad Greenway.

The 10-year veteran, the last man remaining from the 2006 team, is now the Vikings' longest-tenured player.

"It feels great," Greenway said of his new tag. "It's an accomplishment. I certainly don't look at it as a bad thing. It's something you look back at where you started in the NFL ... to think you had a 10-year career, all in one place up to this point. It's pretty impressive and something I definitely hang my hat on.
