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.
By the numbers: {'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.
