The Philadelphia Eagles have lost seven straight games and are now in a place that feels all too familiar. Howie Roseman is a wizard at roster construction, but sometimes it’s hard to avoid the inevitable. With all of these large contracts and the amount of dead cap that they now carry, Roseman could only do so much this offseason.
Now with injuries piling up, this could be a season that the Eagles chalk up as a huge loss. The coaching staff is in shambles, the offensive line has never looked worse, and the future of their franchise QB is as clear as muddy water, which leaves the Eagles in a position to be true sellers at the deadline. The bigger question is who they are selling and which teams make the most sense.
Here are three hypothetical trades.
When Riq Woolen is good, he’s good. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for him during the beginning of his tenure with the Eagles. What many believed to be a steal of a signing during the offseason has turned into a bad investment. It may not all be on Woolen. The Eagles defense hasn’t looked its best at all this year. The pass rush has been non-existent which has made the secondary’s job that much harder.
With how great the Bears are playing this season, this could be a move for them to make that will help solidify their defense. The Lions could also use some big help in their secondary if they are looking to be contenders come playoff time.
Prediction: Riq Woolen to the Bears for a 2028 4th-round pick
Goedert should be an Eagles lifer but they didn’t draft Eli Stowers to be his backup. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles during the offseason to stay in Philly another year but with how bad things have gone with this offense, he may be better off elsewhere. Moving him would allow the Eagles to get a needed draft pick and it would also open up the logjam at Tight end so that they can see what they have in Stowers.
The Broncos offense could be the perfect place for a player like Dallas Goedert. The Browns have checked in on him but with the Broncos reportedly eyeing Trey McBride, Goedert could be a solid consolation prize.
Prediction: Dallas Goedert to the Broncos for a 2027 5th-round pick
The writing has been on the wall for Landon Dickerson, who was rumored to be considering retirement last offseason. He came back and spent some time on IR but even in his return, the interior of the offensive line has not looked good at all. While he only plays a part of the chaos, Dickerson could benefit from a change of scenery like Cam Jurgens. Plus, if the Eagles can get some type of compensation for him at this stage of his career then you can consider it a huge steal.
Contenders like the Packers, Vikings, and Broncos would make a ton of sense for the Eagles’ left guard. He could revive his career in offenses that fit his style of play especially since no one can understand the style of play that fits the Eagles’ offense.
Prediction: Landon Dickerson to the Vikings for a 2028 3rd-round pick
