Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles made headlines in the NFL draft.
They dramatically jumped in front of the Steelers for first-round wide receiver Makai Lemon. They took a big swing on tight end Eli Stowers. And in the seventh round, they selected someone who has never played football before: Uar Bernard, an athletic marvel from Nigeria.
But the Eagles’ biggest move on draft weekend wasn’t actually a draft pick.
On Friday night, minutes after selecting Stowers, the Eagles traded for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard — a Pro Bowler capable of making a dominant defense the best in the NFL.
“It’s going to be something serious,” Greenard said Saturday at the Jefferson Health Training Complex. “We’re going to be a force to be reckoned with.”
Greenard was acquired from the Vikings in exchange for the Eagles’ No. 98 pick and a 2027 third-rounder. Greenard wanted a new contract, and Minnesota wasn’t going to give it to him. So the Eagles did, inking him to a four-year, $100 million deal with $50 million guaranteed.
The Eagles are listed at +1500 on DraftKings to finish with the best regular season record in the NFL.
