Trade: Vikings are sending former Pro-Bowl LB Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round pick tonight (No. 98) and a third-round pick next year, per me and @rapsheet.

What do the Vikings save by trading Greenard?
Trading Jonathan Greenard to the Eagles will save the Vikings $12.25 million in salary cap space this year, and $22.3 million in cap space in 2027, while the edge rusher gets the raise from the Eagles he'd sought from the Vikings.
Edge rusher market has exploded
Clearly, Kevin O'Connell's words weren't enough to convince Jonathan Greenard he was respected. Not with him making $19 million a year at a time when the top edge rushers are getting $40 million, and when Will Anderson just got a record $50 million a year. Money talks. The Vikings clearly figured Greenard was not going to be consoled with anything they were willing to offer him. Shame. I voted for the guy for Defensive Player of the Year two years ago. He still has a lot of very good football left in him, but he obviously wasn't going to play here any longer for what he's making.
