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.
By the numbers: Greenard: 2024 - 12.5 sacks, Pro Bowl; 2025 - 3 sacks in 12 games (shoulder), 13.5% pressure rate. Turner: 2025 - 8 sacks (team lead).
What to watch: Monitor Vikings' selection at No. 98 and cap usage. Watch Eagles' pass rush rotation.
