There is nobody in the NFL better at wheeling and dealing than Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, and he showed that again on Friday night. The Eagles gave their pass-rush an immediate boost when he traded two third-round picks, including a 2027 pick, to the Minnesota Vikings for outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard.
The Eagles also immediately signed Greenard to a four-year, $100 million contract extension.
Along with netting two third-round picks, including a top-100 pick in this year’s NFL Draft class, the Vikings also get some major salary-cap savings.
Eagles pass rush gets immediate help with Jonathan Greenard trade
The Eagles are a bonafide Super Bowl contender in the NFC this season, and you can never have enough pass-rushers and people who can get at the quarterback when you are in that situation. That is especially true for the Eagles after having previously lost Jalen Phillips in free agency earlier this offseason.
