Eagles Land Vikings Edge Jonathan Greenard in Draft-Week Trade

The price reflects a win-now push for Philadelphia, with Minnesota choosing contract flexibility.

Overview

  • Philadelphia acquired Jonathan Greenard and a seventh-round pick in a trade announced Friday for the No. 98 selection and a 2027 third-rounder.
  • Greenard agreed to a four-year, $100 million extension with $50 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports.
  • Vikings interim GM Rob Brzezinski said the move was driven by economics, framing the deal as prudent roster management despite losing an impact player.
  • The Eagles filled a pass-rush need after Jaelan Phillips left in free agency, and GM Howie Roseman said Greenard can elevate an already strong defensive line.
  • Greenard is coming off a three-sack 2025 season after posting 12 sacks in 2024 and 12.5 in 2023, highlighting both upside and recent volatility.
