Eagles Explore Jonathan Greenard Trade With Vikings as Draft Week Opens

Contract friction under tight cap pressure puts the pass rusher back in play for draft week.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Philadelphia has checked in on the Vikings edge rusher and could revisit a draft‑week deal after talks cooled.
  • Minnesota has told teams it wants a premium Day 2 pick, and the Eagles hold Nos. 54, 68 and 98.
  • Greenard skipped the Vikings' voluntary offseason session Monday, which head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed, a fresh sign of unresolved contract talks.
  • He carries a 2026 cap hit around $22.1–$22.3 million on a four‑year, $76 million deal, and a trade would save Minnesota about $12 million while leaving roughly $9.9 million in dead money.
  • The 2024 Pro Bowler logged 12 sacks in 2024 and three in 2025 with a strong 23.3% pass‑rush win rate, making him a fit for an Eagles front short on proven edge rushers after recent departures.
