The Philadelphia Eagles are bolstering their pass rush on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, but it's through a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Eagles are trading for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. Philadelphia is sending pick 98 and a 2027 third to Minnesota for Greenard.
Greenard is also getting a four-year extension worth $98 million.
"Trade: Vikings are sending former Pro-Bowl LB Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round pick tonight (No. 98) and a third-round pick next year, per me and Rap Sheet," Schefter said.
"Greenard and the Eagles reached agreement on a four-year, $100 milllion extension that includes $50 million fully guaranteed, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey."
Philadelphia needed to add another pass rusher opposite Nolan Smith Jr., and Greenard fits that bill.
Though Greenard tallied just three sacks in 2025, he had two straight seasons with 12 sacks in 2023 and 2024.
If the veteran can regain that form, the Eagles will field one of the most potent defensive lines in football.
As for Minnesota, the team needed to clear some cap space, and moving on from Greenard will save them over $15 million in cap space.
