Eagles Acquire Vikings Edge Jonathan Greenard in Draft-Night Trade, Sign 4-Year Extension

Philadelphia moves to plug its pass-rush gap created by Jaelen Phillips' exit.

Overview

  • The trade, announced Friday during Day 2 of the NFL Draft, sends Jonathan Greenard and pick No. 244 to Philadelphia for pick No. 98 and a 2027 third-rounder.
  • Greenard agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension with $50 million guaranteed, according to his agent.
  • Philadelphia targeted the move to add an immediate pass-rush threat after losing Jaelen Phillips in free agency.
  • Minnesota gains two third-round picks and, per CBS Sports, more than $34 million in cap relief as Dallas Turner steps into a larger role.
  • The 28-year-old earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2024 with back-to-back 12-sack seasons but logged only three sacks in 12 games in 2025 after shoulder surgery.
