The Philadelphia Eagles kept busy ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, flipping outside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

For Cincinnati, the move adds another body to the defensive front as the Bengals try to bolster the roster for a potential Super Bowl push. The deal gives them help at outside linebacker without costing a major draft asset, and Ebiketie now gets a chance to plug into a new system with a bigger role possible down the stretch.
Ebiketie, 27, arrived in Philadelphia on a one-year deal in March and has played nine games this season. He has 25 total tackles, including 11 solo tackles, but has not recorded a sack.
Before joining the Eagles, he spent his first four NFL seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, who drafted him in the second round in 2022. He posted six-sack seasons in both 2023 and 2024.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, keeps reshaping its roster and adding future draft capital. The 2027 sixth-rounder coming back in this trade gives the Eagles another pick to work with as they continue to adjust the roster.
This latest move comes after another major deal earlier in the week, when the Eagles sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
With the 2026 NFL trade deadline set for 4 p.m. Eastern Time on November 10, the Eagles have already emerged as one of the league’s most active teams, and it remains to be seen whether they have another move left before the clock runs out.

Bengals Fans Have Real Reason To Dread Sundays Referee Crew
Sundays matchup with Pittsburgh comes with a familiar name in the referee assignment, and for Bengals fans, that alone is enough to raise an eyebrow. Clete Blakeman will work the Week 10 game, bringing a long track record with Cincinnati into a divisional meeting that already figures to be tense, physical and heavily scrutinized.
The Bengals have gone 8-9 in games Blakeman has headed since 2010, and the recent history has not been kind. His crew has also been among the leagues most active when it comes to throwing flags this season, and with a postseason rsum that includes plenty of high-stakes work, this is the kind of officiating setup that tends to keep everyone on edge well before kickoff.

Marvin Lewis Just Called Out What Bengals Must Fix Fast
With a critical AFC North game against the Steelers looming, Marvin Lewis took a familiar seat in the Bengals conversation and offered a blunt checklist for Zac Taylors team. The former Cincinnati coach laid out three areas he believes have to sharpen up if the Bengals want to make a real championship push, and the message was less about talent than about how well the pieces are being used.
Lewis pointed to the ground game, the defense and the need to fully lean into Joe Burrows leadership as the key areas that cant stay inconsistent. For a team trying to seize first place in the division, the timing of that advice matters, because the margin for error gets thinner fast when the opponent is Pittsburgh and the stakes are already this high.

Bengals Just Sent A Risky Message In The AFC North Race
With the NFL trade deadline passing on Nov. 10, Cincinnati stood pat while several AFC contenders tried to sharpen their rosters for the stretch run. The Bengals did not make a move, leaving both the offense and defense intact despite sitting at 6-2 and firmly in the AFC North hunt. In a market where rivals were willing to add help, Cincinnati chose continuity over change.
The decision also left a few obvious roster questions hanging in place, including a running back group that has struggled to generate consistent production. The Bengals had been linked to Philadelphia defensive end Arnold Ebiketie, but nothing materialized before the deadline closed, and the front office ultimately decided against any additions. For a team trying to hold its edge in a crowded division race, the message was clear enough, even if the long-term wisdom of it will take a few more weeks to sort out. [Read more 🡒]
