Greenard, a 6-foot-3, 260-pound edge rusher, has shown a knack for getting after the quarterback. He posted 12 sacks during a Pro Bowl season in 2024, along with three pass deflections and four forced fumbles, and has 38 career sacks across six NFL seasons.
Minnesota’s front office has indicated a willingness to move on from Greenard if the price is right, particularly given he started only 10 games last season. The proposed trade would see the Eagles send their No. 54 overall pick in 2026 to land a proven pass rusher who could slot into the role Jaelen Phillips filled late in the 2025 season.
If acquired, Greenard would fit Philadelphia’s emphasis on a potent front that can pressure the quarterback. He would likely operate in a similar capacity to Phillips, while offering the versatility to contribute off the ball as needed and pair with the team’s strong interior duo of Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
The potential deal comes as Philadelphia considers its draft strategy, balancing emphasis on offense in the early rounds with the opportunity to add a veteran edge presence. With a relatively complete roster and ample draft capital, the Eagles could afford to pursue this move, though it hinges on Minnesota’s asking price and Greenard’s willingness to relocate.
With the draft looming, a Greenard trade would represent a clear winner-now approach to fortify the pass rush, provided the price aligns with Philadelphia’s plans and Minnesota’s valuation. The decision remains contingent on negotiations ahead of the draft’s opening night.
