Overview
- The Eagles traded for edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Dolphins for a 2026 third-round pick and added cornerbacks Jaire Alexander via a late-round pick swap with the Ravens and Michael Carter II from the Jets.
- Howie Roseman described his approach as upgrading every roster spot and said he is willing to take calculated risks rather than live with regret.
- Roseman acknowledged Phillips’ 2023 Achilles injury and a 2024 partial ACL tear and said the team weighed those factors, while Alexander also arrives with health questions.
- Addressing speculation, Roseman said the Eagles did not trade A.J. Brown and called the Pro Bowl receiver a core piece of the team.
- Reports said Philadelphia pursued elite pass rushers Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett without landing either, and Roseman emphasized the club will be aggressive for the right players.
