Vikings ship Greenard to Eagles for two 3rd-round picks

The Vikings traded outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard and the 244th pick in the 2026 draft to the Eagles in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick (98th overall) and a 2027 third-round pick. Greenard starred in Minnesota with a 2024 Pro Bowl season (12 sacks, 84 pressures) and remained a top pass rusher in 2025 before a shoulder injury limited him to 12 games; the deal frees cap space and provides Minnesota with future draft capital, while boosting Dallas Turner’s role. Minnesota also moved back two spots in Round 2 to draft Jake Golday.
