For the first time since the NFL’s COVID year in 2020, Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles did not make any trades near the trade deadline.
The Eagles’ inactivity at the deadline is mildly surprising, but certainly not shocking. Edge rusher felt like an obvious need a few weeks ago, but the Eagles have since gotten improved play from guys like Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith. Otherwise, adding at positions like wide receiver, tight end, linebacker, or running back, to name a few, would have made varying degrees of sense, but were not necessarily urgent areas of need.
A number of the Eagles’ rivals did make trades, so let’s take a look at some of the notable ones.
The Cardinals traded a sixth-round pick to the Broncos for OLB Baron Browning.
#JimmySays: Browning is something of an off-ball linebacker / edge rusher tweener in the same mold of Zack Baun. He’ll help an undermanned Cardinals defense that lost starter Dennis Gardeck for the season.
