What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles traded for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard from the Minnesota Vikings during Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Vikings received Eagles' 2026 third-round pick (No. 98) and a 2027 third-round pick in exchange for Greenard and their No. 244 overall pick this year. Minnesota now holds nine top-100 picks across the 2026 and 2027 drafts.

Why it matters: Greenard bolsters Philadelphia's pass rush for the upcoming 2026 season. The trade saves the Vikings an estimated $34 million in cap space, enabling a draft-heavy rebuild. Eagles gain a proven Pro Bowler to elevate their defense.

By the numbers: Trade details: - Eagles receive: EDGE Jonathan Greenard, 2026 Rd7 #244 - Vikings receive: 2026 3rd #98, 2027 3rd Vikings: 9 top-100 picks (2026-27 drafts)

What to watch: Monitor Eagles' remaining draft picks and Greenard's integration. Vikings' top-100 selections could target key positions.
