Pass rusher Jonathan Greenard, dealt by the Minnesota Vikings to Philadelphia on Friday, agreed to a big-money extension with the Eagles, multiple media outlets reported.

The Eagles received Greenard and a seventh-round pick in this year's draft in exchange for a third-round pick on Friday (No. 98 overall) and a third-rounder in 2027.

Greenard then reportedly landed a four-year, $100 million extension from the Eagles, including $50 million in guaranteed money.

The 28-year-old University of Florida product is coming off a down season in which he managed just three sacks while playing 12 games (10 starts) for the Vikings.

In 2024, Greenard logged 12 sacks and four forced fumbles in 17 starts for Minnesota en route to earning Pro Bowl recognition. The year before that, with the Houston Texans, he registered a career-high 12.5 sacks in 15 games, all starts.

Houston selected Greenard in the third round of the 2020 draft. In 77 NFL games (59 starts), he has 38 sacks, one interception, 14 passes defensed, eight forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Last season, the Eagles finished in the middle of the NFL with 42 sacks, led by Jalyx Hunt with 6.5 and Moro Ojomo with six.
