This page lists all the 2026 Trades for the Minnesota Vikings. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

April 2026 – Trades
Eagles acquire DE Jonathan Greenard from Vikings for 2026 3rd-round pick, 2027 3rd-round pick
The Eagles lost Jaelan Phillips this offseason, so they wanted to address the edge rush. The problem is that after the top three edge prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, there was nothing exciting, and the Eagles weren’t going to get a sure Pro Bowler at No. 20. Thus, they were a likely candidate to trade for Jonathan Greenard.
Greenard is an explosive edge rusher who will be a nice replacement for Phillips. The only potential downside is that he turns 29 in May, so the Eagles will only have him for one year in his 20s. Greenard should still have a few great seasons for the Eagles, and I’ll be shocked if Philadelphia ends up regretting this trade.
As for the Vikings, they were bound to trade Greenard. I imagine Vikings fans wanted a second-round pick for him, but a third in next year’s loaded class is fine. This is still a disappointment for the Vikings, who will take a big hit to their defense and likely won’t be nearly as competitive as the other three teams in their division.
