What happened
The Minnesota Vikings have acquired two third-round picks from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and their No. 244 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Eagles' picks include No. 98 overall this year and a third-rounder in 2027. The trade was reported by Mike Garafolo amid the ongoing draft.
Why it matters
The deal helps the Vikings save $34M in cap space while adding to their haul of nine top-100 picks across 2026 and 2027 drafts. Philadelphia bolsters its edge rush with the former Pro Bowl pass rusher in his prime. It underscores Minnesota's rebuild via draft assets after months of late first- to mid-second round trade talks.
