Overview
- The Eagles and Raiders agreed to exchange cornerback Jakorian Bennett for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV, pending physical examinations by both teams.
- Bennett, a 2023 fourth-round pick out of Maryland with 24 games and 11 starts, joins Philadelphia’s training camp to compete for an outside cornerback role alongside Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson.
- Booker, a 2022 fifth-round pick who appeared in 17 games with one start and recorded 18 tackles and a sack last season, reports to Las Vegas to vie for a depth spot on the interior defensive line.
- The transaction is one of the few direct player-for-player trades executed during the NFL preseason, highlighting how teams manage rookie-scale contracts and roster needs in training camp.
- Las Vegas created an opening by releasing veteran DT Christian Wilkins earlier in camp, and Booker is expected to help reinforce the Raiders’ interior line.
