Philadelphia Eagles Facing Roster Teardown Ahead of Trade Deadline

Following a Super Bowl LIX victory, the Eagles are shedding veteran talent and accumulating future draft capital.

The Philadelphia Eagles are currently navigating a roster transition that resembles a full-scale rebuild, according to CBS Sports. After winning Super Bowl LIX with a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs—a game that saw Jalen Hurts named MVP and featured dominant performances from Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith—the team has seen a rapid decline.

CBS Sports reports that the Eagles have recently suffered blowout losses to the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams. The roster has been further depleted by the retirement of right tackle Lane Johnson, who cited mental health, and the trade of Cam Jurgens and a seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Additionally, the team traded Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys last week. These moves have left Philadelphia with two first-round and two second-round picks in 2028.

With the Nov. 10 trade deadline approaching, CBS Sports identifies three more players who could be dealt: tight end Dallas Goedert, cornerback Tariq Woolen, and linebacker A.J. Epenesa. Goedert, who is on a one-year, $7 million deal, could attract interest from the San Francisco 49ers. Woolen, signed to a one-year, $12 million contract, is listed as a potential target for the Detroit Lions. Epenesa, on a one-year, $1.4 million deal, is noted as a possible fit for the Atlanta Falcons, as he currently plays only 11% of defensive snaps.
