Greenard Trade Saga Heats Up Before NFL Draft

0:00It's April 20th, NFL news today starts now. AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Trade rumors are heating up again for Minnesota Vikings' edge-rusher, Jonathan Greenert, just three days before the NFL draft kicks off. The Philadelphia Eagles keep popping up as a top suitor, with League sources saying their general manager, Howie Roseman, has something cooking for. Traft weekend, Greenert had a solid year with 11 sex, but he's playing on a teen-friendly $19 million deal that won't hold him past this season. Earlier this week, ESPN reports fueled the fire, noting the Vikings prefer to keep Greenert and even plan to extend him. Still, other teams see value in prying him away, especially since Philadelphia's edge group, is thin after losing key players like Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham. Their current options include Nolan Smith and a few young guys, but they need proven past rush to stay competitive. Vikings fans mostly want to hold on to him to build around their defense, though a strong

Minnesota's interim GM confirmed their building for 2026 with Greenert in the mix. Possible trades could look simple. Like the Eagles sending their third round pick number 82 for Greenert, or swapping second rounders around, pick number 54. Other packages involve future picks, like a 2027 second rounder, plus a fourth. It's all about whether Philly coughs up that second round value. No matter where he lands, expect Greenert to sign a monster extension, somewhere in the 30-35 million per year range he's earned it. After proving his worth, I keep an eye on Draft9. This saga could explode and reshape both rosters quick.
