According to reports, Minnesota could not reach a contract agreement with Greenard, and with limited cap space, decided to move the veteran pass rusher. The transaction elevates Dallas Turner, who will assume a larger role for the Vikings in 2026 as they adjust their edge group.
Greenard’s 2025 season saw a dip in production, recording 3.5 sacks, which factored into the Vikings’ decision to pursue other options for the defense. The move aligns with the Eagles’ ongoing assessment of their pass-rush depth and potential for immediate impact.
The trade leaves Minnesota with a leaner but potentially more dynamic long-term plan on the edge, while Philadelphia strengthens its front for the upcoming season and beyond. As the NFL calendar progresses, the teams’ cap implications and strategic fits will continue to unfold.
This story is part of ongoing coverage of NFL moves ahead of the new season, with updates as more details emerge.
