What happened
The Philadelphia Eagles are trading pick No. 98 to the Minnesota Vikings for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard during the 2026 NFL Draft. The third-round pick was a compensatory selection the Eagles received after losing DL Milton Williams to the Patriots in free agency. Greenard had 12.5 sacks and a Pro Bowl nod in 2024 but was limited to 12 games with three sacks last season due to a shoulder injury.
Why it matters
The deal bolsters the Eagles' pass rush for the 2026 season, adding a proven talent following their trade up to No. 20 yesterday. Minnesota gains draft capital to build around younger players like Dallas Turner. It shifts defensive expectations for both teams heading into training camp.
The data edge
Jonathan Greenard stats: 2024 - 12.5 sacks, Pro Bowl; 2025 - 3 sacks (12 games, shoulder injury), 13.5% pressure rate. No odds or standings data available.
