Eagles News: NFL trade deadline suggestions have Philadelphia landing cornerback help
3 trade deadline deals that make sense for the Eagles, 2.0 - PhillyVoice
In 2024, Alontae Taylor had 89 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 16 pass breakups. He is scheduled to be a free agent in 2026, so the Saints may be looking to get something in return for him while they still can. And obviously, Howie Roseman and Mickey Loomis have made more than their share of trades over the years. A late third-round pick feels like fair compensation.

Eagles get creative in the secondary. Eagles get: CB Ja’Quan McMillian, 2026 seventh-round pick. Broncos get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 sixth-round pick (can become a fifth on playing time conditions). With second-year studs in Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, the Eagles are two-thirds of the way to an elite cornerback room. Mitchell, who plays on the outside, has the third-most targets of any corner this season, per Next Gen Stats -- but he’s only surrendering a 47.9% completion percentage, which is better than all but two corners. His 6.0 yards per target is well above average as well. But opposite Mitchell, the other outside spot has been hammered. Out of 76 qualifying corners, veteran Adoree’ Jackson leads the league with a 25.7% target rate per coverage snap. His coverage success rate is 66th; his yards per coverage snap allowed is 75th. Teammate Kelee Ringo is only a little better, ranking 53rd in coverage success rate and 48th in yards per coverage snap. Offseason trade acquisition Jakorian Bennett has been on injured reserve with a pectoral injury and just had his practice window open up. He might be the solution to their outside cornerback woes -- or, perhaps, DeJean is the answer.

Rest assured that Roseman is still going to be looking for help over the next eight days because that’s what he always does. “They’re always active, they’re always aggressive and they’re going to be that way again,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on ESPN’s Get Up Monday. “I’ll be surprised if in the next two weeks the Eagles haven’t pulled off at least one trade.” It’s possible that Roseman surprises us all and brings in help a position other than cornerback or edge rusher. He’s not going to surprise, however, by trading star receiver A.J. Brown, who is also likely to return against the Packers from the hamstring injury that kept him out of Sunday’s game against the Giants. “They’re not going to trade A.J. Brown,” Schefter said. “Here’s the deal: they’re trying to repeat as a Super Bowl champion. They’re in the business of acquiring talent and not giving it away. Whatever they can get back for A.J. Brown, they can get back in February or March before the draft.”
Can you imagine if the Eagles had not kept Dallas Goedert? - BGN
Goedert has always been one of the best pass-catching tight ends in football, but he’s also a unicorn in that he’s so incredibly valuable as a run-blocker, too. The offense has struggled when back-ups Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson have been asked to block, and yet had the Eagles not held onto Goedert, that’s what we would have been getting. Would Roseman have swung a trade for a tight end in that eventuality? Probably, but none would have been as reliable or talented as Goedert has been through the first half of the season. His two TDs on Sunday gave him seven on the season, tied with Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown for most in the NFL. Of his 7 touchdowns, 6 have come from inside the red zone, a major reason why the Eagles have converted 17 of 20 trips inside the 20 into touchdowns, most in the NFL.

After dropping two games to have fans reaching for the panic button, the Eagles have won two consecutive games to reach 6-2, and right now they slot into the No. 2. The Eagles now have a bye week before a huge Week 10 tilt with the Packers that could go a long way towards deciding home-field advantage in the NFC. The Eagles currently hold a tiebreaker over the Buccaneers thanks to Philadelphia’s Week 4 win over Tampa Bay.

Is that enough at pass rusher? Maybe. Howie Roseman will still make his calls. The problem is that half the league is looking for pass rushers and not many are available. Howie can look around, but I don’t know that he’ll find many good options. You don’t want to waste a draft pick just to add a body. You would want to add someone that can truly help. The cost will have to make sense. The other position that’s had some issues this year is cornerback. Kelee Ringo got the start on Sunday. I haven’t had a chance to study his game yet, but the fact he didn’t stand out as a problem is encouraging. He stood out in a bad way in the first Giants game. Adoree Jackson had played better recently before getting hurt. Are either of those guys good enough to help you win in January? That’s a tough question. Howie might actually be more aggressive in calling around about corners. If anything happened to Quinyon Mitchell, the Eagles would be in big trouble. There aren’t going to be great options at CB, but they could be better than pass rusher.

1A. Through eight games, Hurts has completed 70 percent of his passes with 15 touchdowns and one interception. The only other quarterback in NFL history at 70 percent with at least 15 TDs and one or fewer INT through eight games is Drew Brees, who was at 76 percent, 17 TDs and one INT eight games into the 2018 season. Hurts is only the seventh quarterback in NFL history with 70 percent, 15 TDs and one INT in any eight-game span in history (within one season). Brees, Kirk Cousins, Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson also did it. 1B. Hurts’ 114.4 passer rating is highest ever by an Eagles’ quarterback after eight games. Previous high was Carson Wentz’s 109.6 after eight games in 2018.

I think the Eagles will try to find ways to platoon these two players and play it by ear as they go. Dean is in a contract year. Campbell is a first-round pick who still is developing as an off-ball player. He has not proven to be a liability, however, and if playing fewer snaps is going to set back his future development, I don’t know if I love that plan for 2026 and beyond. The Eagles coaches on that side of the ball have certainly earned the benefit of the doubt, and I’m sure they have a development plan in place behind the scenes to continue getting Campbell the reps he needs. Still, it’s tough to replace game reps. All that said – Campbell’s versatility off the edge definitely can help them on plays like this. Most edge rushers don’t have the ability to confidently match a running back in space that way (ask Patrick Johnson).
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni Opens Up About Trade Deadline Ahead of Bye Week
The Philadelphia Eagles head into their bye week with the defending Super Bowl champions sporting a 6-2 record while sitting comfortably in first place in the NFC East division standings. The closest to the Eagles in the division is the Dallas Cowboys at 3-4-1, which shows the lead Philadelphia has when they return for Week 10 on the road against the Green Bay Packers.
Even though the Eagles are in a good position to defend their title right now, as it may be a foregone conclusion that they win the division title and secure one of the top seeds in the NFC, Philadelphia is far from perfect and might try to shake things up ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4.
Eagles’ Nick Sirianni Reveals Thoughts on NFL Trade Deadline
GettyHead coach Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles speaks with GM Howie Roseman.
With the Eagles potentially making a move ahead of the NFL trade deadline, Philadelphia’s situation has become a hot topic across the league.
On Monday, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on the trade deadline and how he’s always in “constant communication” with general manager Howie Roseman.
“Regardless of the scenario, whether we have a game, whether we have a short week with a trade deadline coming up, always constant communication with Howie [Roseman] about everything,” Sirianni said. “We find time to do the things that are necessary to help the team win, help the team get better, whatever it may be.
“Obviously, this week’s very important for us as far as our self-scout and identifying some different things, and always going to be a busy week. But I wouldn’t say because we don’t have a game this upcoming week, it’s any different, because you just find the time to do the things necessary to help get better and help the team win.”
With one week left until the buzzer sounds on the trade deadline, things could get interesting for Philadelphia, as the team’s brass assesses whether it is time to shake things up or stand pat.
All the attention right now is directed toward star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who appears to be still not happy with his role with the Eagles, which he has made abundantly clear in a very public fashion.
Will the Eagles Trade A.J. Brown?
With a week to go before the buzzer sounds on the NFL trade deadline, the consensus seems to be that the Eagles will not be trading the disgruntled Brown. He has made it clear on multiple occasions that he’s not happy with how he’s being used by the team from week to week, which has caused a distraction in the locker room and has been a constant storyline.
However, the team is sitting at 6-2 and well on its way to winning the NFC East division title and being a force to be reckoned with once again in the NFL playoffs. That said, Philadelphia does seem compelled to move Brown, but that could change quickly if the right trade call comes in before Nov. 4.
