What happened
The Philadelphia Eagles traded a third-round pick (No. 98 overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 third-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for EDGE Jonathan Greenard, per Adam Schefter. The deal was confirmed during tonight's draft proceedings. Additional details emerged from Schefter's report.
Why it matters
Greenard bolsters the Eagles' defensive front with his Pro Bowl production. The Vikings gain draft capital—now with nine top-100 picks in 2026-27—and save $34M in cap space, as reported earlier. This reshapes both teams' approaches to the upcoming 2026 season.
The data edge
{'trade': {'Eagles receive': ['Jonathan Greenard (EDGE)'], 'Vikings receive': ['2026 3rd-round pick (No. 98)', '2027 3rd-round pick']}, 'Vikings cap savings': '$34M', 'Vikings draft picks': 'Nine top-100 in 2026-27'}
What to watch
Monitor Eagles' remaining draft moves and Vikings' selection at No. 98. Greenard's physical and fit in Philly's scheme will be key this offseason.
