Overview
- Media proposals from Eagles writer Jimmy Kempski and Fox Sports’ Greg Auman have floated a hypothetical trade sending a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Buccaneers to the Eagles for Kelee Ringo, and those ideas are currently speculative with no team confirmation.
- Ringo is a 2023 fourth-round pick who has appeared in every regular-season and playoff game for Philadelphia, including the Eagles’ Super Bowl run, and he is in the final year of his four-year rookie contract.
- His background includes top high-school recruiting status and two national championships at Georgia, plus a memorable 79-yard interception return in the CFP title game, which feeds interest in his upside.
- On-field metrics temper that upside: Pro Football Focus gave Ringo a 55.3 grade in 2025 that placed him near the bottom of qualifying NFL corners, and analysts describe him as inconsistent and best suited currently for depth and special teams.
- Commentators point to Tampa Bay’s weak outside-corner depth behind projected starters Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison as the reason the Bucs might consider a low-cost move, while Philadelphia’s signing of Riq Woolen this offseason makes Ringo a plausible trade piece to monitor as rosters are set.
