Eagles Weigh Selling Expiring Contracts While Hunting Longer‑Term Pieces

Hurts's season‑ending injury, heavy guaranteed contracts, the team's 2-4 standing, roster uncertainty are pushing the front office to trade short‑term deals in favor of players under multiyear control.

Overview

  • The Eagles are 2-4 with Jalen Hurts expected to miss the rest of the season and, as of Sunday reporting, have made no confirmed trade deadline moves.
  • Media and team insiders say GM Howie Roseman is likely to act as a seller or run a hybrid buy/sell strategy that moves players on expiring contracts while seeking assets who remain under team control beyond 2026.
  • Contract‑year players most frequently named as trade candidates are tight end Dallas Goedert, defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, guard Tyler Steen, and cornerback Riq Woolen.
  • Landon Dickerson is described by reporters as disgruntled and the Eagles are said to be actively exploring a move, while a high‑profile target such as RB Saquon Barkley is viewed as conceivable but unlikely because of large guaranteed money and dead‑cap implications.
  • Roseman's history of opportunistic deadline deals and the Eagles' place in a weak NFC East make a full teardown unlikely, so expect targeted trades for draft value plus short‑term depth additions at running back or receiver to help the roster now and preserve pieces for 2027.
