7 NFL Trade Deadline Targets for the Philadelphia Eagles
The NFL Trade Deadline on October 31 will be the indicator of the direction teams are heading for the rest of the season. Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles will scrutinize all trade candidates from teams waving the white flag at the unofficial midway point of the 2023 season.
Howie Roseman
The Eagles GM has been active as anyone at recent trade deadlines and throughout the NFL calendar. He spoke with Jason and Travis Kelce on New Heights in March about the reputation he’s developed.
“I do have one quality I can’t deny. That is I am relentless, freaking relentless… I’m so worried that someone’s going to be available that I don’t know about, and I see a trade or a move made, and I didn’t know about it.” -Howie Roseman
The Eagles acquired Jay Ajayi in 2017 in a move that ultimately helped them to a Super Bowl. They also added Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph in the middle of the 2022 season. The veteran defensive linemen appeared in Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl in six tries.
Roseman is already trying to patch potential holes on the roster by adding Bradley Roby and Julio Jones.
While he has also executed less successful moves in recent seasons like acquiring Genard Avery and Robert Quinn, Eagles fans certainly can’t deny that their GM is always active.
NFL Trade Deadline 2023
The Eagles have suffered a brutal string of injuries in the secondary. James Bradberry, Darius Slay, and Reed Blankenship have all missed games. Avonte Maddox will miss the rest of the season. The rotational defensive backs on the roster have additionally struggled to stay healthy.
Nakobe Dean is back on the active roster, but the linebackers still aren’t a strength of the roster.
Safety looks like the thinnest position on the roster. Big names like Justin Simmons, Jeremy Chinn, and Budda Baker are the focus of conversations leading up to the trade deadline on Halloween day.
The Eagles also never ignore the opportunity to add to an already strong defensive line, but do they have the resources to pursue Brian Burns?
