What happened
The Minnesota Vikings traded edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 98 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 third-round pick. The deal saves the Vikings $34 million in cap space. Greenard returns pick No. 244 to Minnesota.
Why it matters
The cap relief gives Vikings flexibility for free agency or extensions amid the draft. It increases the snap share for Dallas Turner after his team-leading eight sacks in 2025. Eagles gain a proven pass rusher despite his recent shoulder injury.
The data edge
Greenard: 2024 - 12.5 sacks, Pro Bowl; 2025 - 3 sacks in 12 games (shoulder), 13.5% pressure rate. Turner: 2025 - 8 sacks (team lead).
