The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired edge rusher Jonathan Greenard in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings, according to @RapSheet of NFL Network. As part of the deal, the Eagles also receive a 2026 seventh-round draft selection from Minnesota.
In exchange for Greenard, the Eagles are sending a 2026 third-round pick (No. 98 overall) and a 2027 third-round pick to the Vikings, per Ian Rapoport and official team reports. The move provides the Philadelphia defensive front with a high-impact pass rusher to anchor their rotation for the coming seasons.
Immediately following the trade, Greenard agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Eagles. The deal includes $50 million in guaranteed money, representing a significant long-term investment in the veteran defender. Greenard joins an Eagles defense that has consistently prioritized aggressive play along the line of scrimmage.
The transaction is subject to the completion of a physical examination. This trade represents a major move for Philadelphia as they utilize future draft capital to secure a premier talent for their defensive unit. Further details regarding the roster impact are expected as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
