Since the A.J. Brown trade, Howie Roseman has kept things quiet on the trade front.
That’s notable because the Eagles GM made five trades in August of 2025, then didn’t complete a single one last month. For now, Philadelphia seems comfortable with the roster it has. But if Roseman decides to make another move, there are a few names on the current team that could make sense as trade chips.
Kelee Ringo is one of them. The cornerback did pick off a pass in the preseason, but the bigger picture hasn’t changed much: he remains a shaky cover man.
That was true last season too, when he tried and failed to win the CB2 job. At this point, the Eagles would probably be fine moving on for very little return, though a 2027 seventh-round pick would at least give them something back.
Hollywood Brown is another player who could be on the move. His training camp didn’t do much to build confidence, and there’s a real possibility he won’t be a major part of the offense in 2026.
With DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Darius Cooper all in the mix for reps, Brown could find himself squeezed out. Since he doesn’t bring much on special teams and may not see many targets, flipping him for a 2027 fifth-round pick would not be a bad piece of business.
The Eagles could also get calls on Tank Bigsby. In his case, the logic would be the opposite of a struggling player getting dumped.
Bigsby is good enough that other teams might come asking. Much depends on Will Shipley and whether he can take a step forward, but Philadelphia does have depth behind Bigsby with Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele, and Jaydon Blue.
If someone is willing to pay a high Day 3 pick, the Eagles might have a tough time turning that down.
Josh Uche rounds out the group. He’s under contract for two more years, but three sacks in 2025 is not the kind of production that settles anyone’s nerves.
His offseason arrest for allegedly speeding and reckless driving also doesn’t help matters. If Jalyx Hunt turns into the star fans expect in 2026, the Eagles could decide to cash out on Uche and send him to a team in need of pass-rush help.
A third-round pick would be the kind of return that makes that move easier to justify for a young, dependable NFL starter.

Eagles Defense May Have Found Another Fangio Difference Maker
Joe Kasper has spent enough time around Vic Fangio to understand what makes the Eagles defensive operation feel different. As Philadelphias defensive passing game coordinator, Kasper talked about the value of staying locked into the job in front of him instead of spending energy plotting the next step, a mindset that fits neatly with the way Fangio runs a staff. He also pointed to Fangios willingness to keep evolving on defense, along with the day-to-day influence the veteran coach has had on his own development.
Kaspers comments offered another reminder that the Eagles are not just leaning on Fangio for scheme, but for the culture around it. His relationship with Fangio has given him a closer look at how the coach works, how he communicates, and how his approach filters through the staff. For a defense trying to keep sharpening its edge, that kind of mentorship can matter just as much as any diagram on a call sheet. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Are Still Waiting On Their Biggest Edge Rush Addition
The Eagles edge-rush plans were supposed to get a major lift this offseason when they brought in veteran Jonathan Greenard from Minnesota and locked him into a four-year contract. Instead, the new arrival has spent the spring and summer working his way back from injuries, first recovering from shoulder surgery and then dealing with a pec strain, leaving Philadelphia to wait on the player it envisioned as a difference-maker off the edge.
For now, the Eagles have kept their focus on the rest of the pass-rush group and have shown patience with Greenards timeline, knowing there is no point forcing the issue before he is ready. The expectation remains that once he gets fully healthy, he will become a key piece of the rotation, but until then Philadelphia is still operating without the biggest addition it made to that part of the defense.

Eagles Quietly Have A Rookie Pass Rusher They May Not Keep Hidden
Keyshawn James-Newby did enough in a brief preseason look to give the Eagles something to think about, even if his path to a roster spot ran straight into one of the deepest parts of the team. The seventh-round rookie was waived during the cutdown to 53 players, then brought back on the practice squad after clearing waivers, a familiar route for a young edge rusher trying to carve out space in a crowded room.
Philadelphia still has reason to keep an eye on him, because practice squad players are never truly off the radar and James-Newbys chance to move up will depend in part on how the veteran edge group holds up. For now, the Eagles have a developmental pass rusher with some upside sitting in reserve, and that usually means other teams will be watching too. [Read more 🡒]
