The Philadelphia Eagles used draft assets to add an explosive veteran running back on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
The Eagles acquired Jonathan Greenard and the seventh pick (No. 244 overall) from Minnesota in exchange for two third-rounders, the No. 98 overall pick in 2026 and one in 2027, the Vikings announced Friday night.
Additionally, Philadelphia and Greenard agreed to terms on a four-year, $100 million extension that includes $50 million fully guaranteed, NFL Network Insiders’ Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported, according to sources.
With the Vikings up against the salary cap, they had been trading Greenard, who was on a long-term extension. In the middle of the second round, Minnesota took the win. The trade takes some pop off the edge for the Vikings, who need 2024 first baseman Dallas Turner to step up after making eight sacks last season. The trade saves Minnesota more than $34 million in cap space and gives the club a handful of top-100 picks in 2026 and 2027.
