. well, it doesn’t look like terribly good value for the Minnesota Vikings, at least on the surface. The Vikings have traded edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The deal sees Greenard and a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft, #244 overall, heading to Philadelphia. In exchange, the Vikings receive a third-round pick in this year’s draft, #98 overall, and a third-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft. Greenard will also receive a four-year, $100 million contract extension from the Eagles as part of the deal.
The trade will save the Vikings a little over $12 million against this year’s salary cap and clear Greenard’s deal off the books for the future, while seeing them take a $9. 9 million dead cap hit for this season. This means that the Vikings will now pick three times in the third round tonight.
