The Minnesota Vikings traded edge rusher Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year. After the trade, Greenard was named to CBS Sports' all-overpaid players list for 2026. The Eagles signed him to a four-year, $98 million extension, raising concerns over his health due to a pectoral strain. While the Vikings faced a potential contract standoff with Greenard, moving him may prove beneficial as he struggles with injuries and a decrease in performance.
