The Eagles have traded a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as well as a 2027 third-round pick to Minnesota in exchange for Greenard (shoulder) and the 244th overall pick of this year's draft, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Greenard also is signing a four-year extension worth up to $100 million with his new team, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. The veteran is coming off a lackluster 2025 campaign in which he recorded just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 regular-season appearances, but he totaled 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons and will now be a prime bounceback candidate under Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Greenard is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery undergone in December.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
Greenard's career got off to a mixed start across his first three years in Houston, but after breaking out with 12.5 sacks in 2023 with the Texans he parlayed his way into a massive multi-year deal with Minnesota, then repeated with 12.0 sacks for the Vikings last season. With any concerns about Greenard being a one-year wonder having been put to rest, he looks like a safe bet to continue dancing with double-digit sacks as long as defensive coordinator Brian Flores remains with the Vikings.
Greenard put together a career year in 2023 with 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble with the Texans. He then signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota. The Vikings will be counting on him as a key pass rusher on the edge and hope he can avoid the injuries that caused him to miss 17 games in his first three seasons.
Greenard was limited to eight games in 2022 due to a calf injury and recorded just 1.5 sacks after leading the Texans the previous season with eight. The addition of Jerry Hughes (nine sacks) helped fill the void, and he's back along with 2023 third-overall pick Will Anderson. Greenard enters the fourth and final year of his rookie deal, and the end should be motivated for his next contract. He or Hughes will start at one end, but the playing time could tilt toward the 26-year-old Greenard, as the 35-year-old Hughes wore down in the second half.
Perhaps it’s not sustainable over a bigger workload, but Greenard was extremely productive on 398 snaps last year, generating eight sacks for a Texans team that was almost always trailing. A foot injury derailed the second half of Greenard’s 2021 season – he posted all eight of his sacks from Week 3 to Week 12, and he might have breezed past double-digit sacks if not for suffering the injury in Week 11.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moved to Eagles, inks extension
LBPhiladelphia Eagles
April 24, 2026
Greenard was traded from the Vikings to the Eagles on Friday and signed a four-year, $100 million extension with Philadelphia, Tim McManus, Kevin Seifert and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia gave up third-round picks in this year's and next year's drafts in exchange for the veteran linebacker. The new deal includes $50 million guaranteed and comes on the heels of a 2025 season cut short by a shoulder injury for which Greenard required surgery. However, over the prior two seasons, the 2020 third-round pick flashed the ceiling that made him appealing to an Eagles squad that's aimed to fortify its defense this offseason, as he recorded 24.5 sacks over the 2023 and 2024 campaigns.
