If there’s one thing for certain about the Philadelphia Eagles and Howie Roseman, it’s that he’s going to do whatever it takes to ensure his team has a chance to compete at the highest level. Whether that means taking a risk or not, Roseman has consistently proven that he’s willing to do whatever is needed on any given day to improve his roster.

The draft over the past few years has shown that Roseman is willing to take risks, and from the sound of things, he’s very interested in doing so again.

While a lot of the talk has been centered on AJ Brown, and rightfully so, Roseman also might have something else up his sleeve.

“The Eagles could make trades beyond any Brown-related move. League sources say that general manager Howie Roseman is plotting to make a deal on draft weekend. Roseman usually has a trick or two up his sleeve, and other front office executives suspect there’s one coming this week. One possibility is adding Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard, whom the Eagles have checked in on at various points this offseason, per sources. Greenard had 12 sacks in 2024, but he managed only three last season over 12 games, despite a solid 23.3% pass rush win rate. The Vikings have been adamant about getting a premium Day 2 pick for Greenard. Philadelphia holds pick Nos. 54, 68 and 98 on Day 2 this year.

“League sources say the Eagles and Vikings could revisit discussions they already have had during the upcoming draft, but talks have lost steam in recent weeks. The Eagles’ wish list of trade candidates goes well beyond Greenard, per sources, though. Roseman almost always has a Plan A, B, C and D, and his team is one to monitor on one of the busiest weekends of the NFL calendar,” Adam Schefter of ESPN wrote.

The Jonathan Greenard situation is definitely one to watch in Philadelphia. There have been reports indicating that the Eagles are interested in the edge rusher, and depending on what happens during the draft or who the Eagles believe they can take after a few picks, it’s possible that Greenard and Philadelphia could be a match made in heaven.

If a trade were to happen, it wouldn’t be surprising to see that unfold with the Minnesota Vikings.
