PHI Jonathan Greenard
NFL edge rusher. Position: EDGE. Team: Philadelphia Eagles.
Quick Facts
- Position: Edge Rusher (EDGE)
- Team: Philadelphia Eagles
- Role: Anchors edge rush room
2026 Outlook
Greenard anchors the Eagles' edge rush room entering 2026 OTAs and training camp. The Eagles feature one of the strongest defensive line groups in the NFC, with multiple options competing behind Greenard for meaningful snap time, including Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt (coming off a breakout 2025 season), Arnold Ebiketie, and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. The competition for snaps behind Greenard could be one of the most intense on the Eagles roster (per Eagles roster battles: Where is competition the fiercest during OTAs).
Greenard signed a four-year, $100M extension with the Eagles immediately after the trade (April 2026), featuring $50M guaranteed. Over his three seasons in Minnesota and Houston, he collected 27.5 sacks, though his production dipped to just 3 sacks in his final Vikings season. The Eagles prioritized securing him ahead of a potential contract holdout—the Vikings had been uncomfortable offering a raise on a contract with two years remaining, so they traded him rather than endure offseason distraction (per Eagles' wheeler-dealer Howie Roseman adds pass rusher Jonathan Greenard in trade with Vikings).
