Eagles Step Up Edge-Rusher Hunt as Browns Expected To Keep Myles Garrett

Attention is shifting toward attainable AFC East options as the deadline approaches.

Overview

  • The Eagles have inquired about Jets edge rusher Jermaine Johnson, with New York seeking a second-round pick or better, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
  • Philadelphia has also checked on Dolphins pass rusher Jaelan Phillips, with multiple reports indicating an asking price of at least a third-round pick.
  • Yahoo’s Charles Robinson reported rival executives believe Philly would consider three first-rounders for Myles Garrett, but Russini says Cleveland is not expected to trade him before Nov. 4.
  • Garrett requested a move in the offseason before signing a four-year, $160 million extension, and league reporting notes that his contract would make a trade financially complicated.
  • With injuries thinning their edge group and production lagging, the Eagles are weighing realistic additions as the market firms up in the final days before the deadline.
