US EditionEagles Acquire Edge Rusher Jonathan Greenard in Trade with Vikings, Team Says
- On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired linebacker Jonathan Greenard from the Minnesota Vikings and signed him to a 4-year, $100 million extension including $50 million guaranteed.
- Philadelphia pivoted to Greenard after losing edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Carolina Panthers in free agency, while Minnesota traded Greenard due to his pay raise request and the emergence of Dallas Turner.
- Minnesota received two third-round picks in the trade, while Philadelphia also gained a 2026 seventh-round selection; Greenard recorded 12.5 sacks in 2024 and has 38 career sacks.
- Greenard joins an Eagles linebacker group featuring Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith, bolstering a defensive front that includes Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, and Moro Ojomo.
- The move clears a full-time role for Minnesota's Alabama standout Dallas Turner, who forced four fumbles last season, as the Vikings look to add defensive depth through remaining draft picks.
