Like all teams in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to upgrade the roster during the weekend of the 2026 NFL Draft.

However, the actual draft isn't the only road to improvement that the Eagles are eyeing. The Eagles are expected to make a trade during draft weekend, and one particular player has caught their attention.

Eagles interested in trading for Viking LB Jonathan Greenard

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Minnesota Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard is one potential trade target for Philly.

Greenard spent the past two seasons in Minnesota after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Houston Texans. The Eagles desperately need some help at edge rusher, and Greenard could fit the bill as he tallied 24.5 sacks over the past three years.

"One possibility is adding Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard, whom the Eagles have checked in on at various points this offseason, per sources. Greenard had 12 sacks in 2024, but he managed only three last season over 12 games, despite a solid 23.3% pass rush win rate," Schefter wrote.
