One thing that is known about Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is that he loves to make a big splash during the NFL Draft.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared a few updates about the Eagles before the draft, as they are likely to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots after June 1. Schefter also added to watch out for Roseman as he could make a trade during the draft with one player to keep in mind.
"The Eagles could be making more 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."
Eagles could make a massive trade during the 2026 NFL Draft
Greenard has been a name to watch out for with the Eagles over the last month, as there were reports that the Eagles and Vikings had talked about a trade. Minnesota was reportedly looking for a Day 2 pick for Greenard, and Philly is interested in him after losing Jaelan Phillips in free agency to the Carolina Panthers.
It seems clear now that the Eagles are gunning for an edge rusher either through the draft or in a trade, which is the right now. Roseman would probably prefer a veteran at edge rusher so he can use his picks on building the future of the offense.
