The Philadelphia Eagles have lost seven consecutive games, which puts the franchise in an unfamiliar spot ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is used to being a buyer but he must consider selling given the current state of the team. Here’s the latest on all of Philadelphia’s moves ahead of the trade deadline, including my thoughts and grades.
Unexpected Blockbuster With Jaguars
Eagles receive: 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick
Jaguars receive: IDL Jordan Davis
The Eagles started off the trade deadline with an unexpected, blockbuster deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles sent IDL Jordan Davis to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. Despite signing Davis to a three-year, $78 million contract in the offseason, the Eagles sent Davis down south to help the Jaguars, who some view as a Super Bowl contender.
Many expected Philadelphia to shop IDL Moro Ojomo, yet now it seems like he’ll replace Davis as a building block alongside Jalen Carter. After shedding future cash by trading away Davis, the Eagles are now expected to sign Ojomo to a contract extension. By committing to a duo of Carter and Ojomo, it could signal a defensive scheme change in 2027. While it’s hard to argue against the haul of draft capital that Philadelphia received for Davis, my only concern is the off-field impact of his departure.

Depth EDGE Shipped to Cincinnati
Eagles receive: 2027 sixth-round pick
Jaguars receive: EDGE Arnold Ebiketie
The Eagles have reportedly traded veteran EDGE Arnold Ebiketie to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. Philadelphia signed Ebiketie to a one-year, $4.3 million contract in the offseason. While Ebiketie was initially signed to serve a depth role behind Jonathan Greenard, Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith, he has played a bigger role due to injuries at the position.
Now that Philadelphia’s edge rusher rotation is getting healthier (and the team is 2-7), the Eagles can afford to part with Ebiketie. Prior to this trade, the Eagles didn’t possess a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Now Philadelphia is slated to have 10 total picks to work with in the 2027 NFL Draft. This move should also free up a roster spot for promising rookie EDGE Keyshawn James-Newby.
