The Cam Jurgens trade sent a loud message: the Eagles are willing to listen if the price is right. Philadelphia didn’t just move a center/guard who had been inconsistent and often unavailable. They landed a 2028 second-round pick in return, and that kind of haul changes the conversation fast.
Once a deal like that lands, the obvious next question is which other names could bring back real value. There are at least five on the roster who fit that bill, and none of them would have to be dealt in a way that completely torpedoes the 2026 season or the long-term picture.
Landon Dickerson is one of the clearest candidates. The left guard’s slide has been as steep as Jurgens’ was over the past year.
Dickerson played through injuries last season and the results were ugly, and 2026 has opened even worse. In the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders, he posted a Pro Football Focus grade of 37.6, gave up four pressures and a sack on 35 pass-blocking snaps, and was flagged once.
He later went on IR with a knee injury, though there has been speculation that the Eagles “soft benching” him and told him to pick an injury to sit out for a bit. Even with that downturn, he was a two-time Pro Bowler and could still bring back solid value.
Best-case return: a third- or fourth-round pick.
Dallas Goedert belongs in the discussion too. He has missed 19 games since 2022, and that injury history followed him again this season, with two games already missed.
When he was healthy last year, he was excellent, setting the franchise record for touchdown catches by a tight end in a season with 11. Healthy, he’s still a borderline top-10 tight end.
But with only a one-year contract left, there’s not much sense in keeping an injury-prone veteran if there’s no real plan to keep him around. The Eagles could move him, collect something useful, and let rookie second-round pick Eli Stowers get a look.
Best-case return: a fourth-round pick.
Moro Ojomo is another player who makes sense as a trade piece simply because of where his contract stands. He’s set to become a free agent, and he has already given the Eagles strong work over the last two seasons while handling a bigger starting role on the defensive line.
This year, he has 12 quarterback pressures and 10 hurries from the defensive line spot, matching his 2026 pass-rushing defensive tackle and Jalen Carter’s numbers. With Ty Robinson and Byron Young ready for larger roles, Philadelphia could cash out now and use the draft to replace him.
Best-case return: a third-round pick.
Nolan Smith Jr. is the tougher sell, but he’s also the kind of player other teams would call about. After a 2025 season that brought three sacks and a triceps injury, he has bounced back.
Following the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Smith leads the team with two sacks. He also has nine pressures and seven hurries this year.
With two years left on his contract and a low-cost deal for any team acquiring him, Smith would draw interest as a young edge rusher who can start. The Eagles could lean more on Jalyx Hunt off the edge and keep Jonathan Greenard in mind as the future starter.
Then there’s the biggest name of all: Saquon Barkley. Trading him would be shocking, no question.
But he has already missed half the season because of two different injuries, and his production has dipped over the last year with the Eagles. He has had two games with at least 80 rushing yards, but he’s also had two with fewer than 10.
Philadelphia’s run game has not been great with him or without him, and Will Shipley or Dameon Pierce could make a case in the backfield. Barkley remains an Eagles legend after only two years, but with the right offer, moving him would not be an unreasonable idea for a 29-year-old running back.

Eagles Injury Report Just Put Jalen Hurts In A Tough Spot
A Wednesday injury report can tell you plenty about where a team stands, and this one offered a little relief for the secondary. Quinyon Mitchell was back as a full participant after hyperextending his knee against the Rams, a sign the Eagles are likely to have one of their top young defensive backs available against the Jaguars. Around him, the list was a reminder that this is still a team carrying a fair amount of wear, with Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell, Dallas Goedert, Fred Johnson, Dontayvion Wicks, DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown all limited or out for parts of the day.
The bigger concern may be up front, where the offensive line is not exactly settling in. Drew Kendall missed practice again, and with the Eagles already sorting through options, the possibility grows that less experienced hands could be pushed into the mix. For Jalen Hurts, that is the kind of development that changes everything about a game plan, especially when the margin for error gets thinner in a hurry. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Face A Troubling London Warning As Injuries Keep Mounting
The Eagles head to London for their Week 5 matchup with a little more uncertainty than they would like, and the outside projections are not exactly helping calm things down. ESPNs Seth Walder sees the Jacksonville Jaguars taking advantage of Philadelphias current issues and is forecasting a lopsided result, a reminder that the Eagles are walking into a game where the margin for error is already thin.
Injuries have been piling up around the roster, and the timing could hardly be worse with a Jaguars defense that is expected to make life difficult and an offense with enough weapons to punish mistakes. Philadelphia also has to navigate recent roster changes that have left the group more undermanned than it would prefer, turning an already tricky overseas trip into one that feels loaded with pressure before kickoff.

Jalen Hurts Just Sent A Clear Message On Eagles Play Caller
Jalen Hurts did not sound like a quarterback looking to create more noise around an already shaky Eagles offense. Instead, he publicly backed offensive coordinator Sean Mannion as Philadelphia tries to sort through an early-season slump that has left the unit near the bottom of the league in points and yards. With consecutive losses piling up, Hurts pointed toward patience and the need to keep building chemistry with a new play-caller rather than adding to the criticism.
Sean Mannion has held firm in his confidence in the scheme, and Hurts comments offered a clear sign that the quarterback is not interested in a public split. For a team that has not found its rhythm, the message matters almost as much as the next game plan, because the Eagles need the offense to stabilize quickly before the frustration around it grows any louder.
