Minnesota Vikings trade Jonathan Greenard to Philadelphia Eagles

The Minnesota Vikings made a fairly significant trade during the 2026 NFL Draft, sending outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles , and in return, the Eagles are sending a 2026 3rd-round pick (no. 98) and a 2027 3rd-round pick for the talented pass rusher. The Eagles are extending Greenard, giving him a four-year, $100 million deal.

ESPN's Adam Schefter was first to report this breaking news. 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 @rapsheet .

Talk of a Greenard trade has picked up in recent days, with the Eagles a likely landing spot. For the Vikings, this shows a ton of trust in Dallas Turner, but with him not having a true running mate now, all the focus will now be on Turner to see if he can step up and lead this group.
