What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles traded third-round pick No. 98 and a 2027 third-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for EDGE Jonathan Greenard. Greenard agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension with Philadelphia. The deal saves the Vikings $34 million in cap space.

Why it matters: Greenard's Pro Bowl production strengthens the Eagles' defense for the 2026 season. The Vikings gain draft capital, now holding nine top-100 picks in 2026 and 2027 drafts. This positions Philadelphia as aggressive offseason winners.

What to watch: Monitor Eagles' remaining draft picks and Vikings' selections with added capital.
