The Philadelphia Eagles have emerged as key players in this year’s trading frenzy, acquiring multiple defensive talents over the past week. As the deadline approaches, here is a summary of the notable trades that have already taken place.
Recent Trades Shake Up NFL Roster Dynamics
The Eagles have made headlines by trading for pass rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins. In exchange, Miami receives a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Phillips has recorded three sacks this season and adds depth to an already formidable Philadelphia defense.
In another move, the Eagles acquired cornerback Jaire Alexander from the Baltimore Ravens. This trade, completed on Saturday, involved Philadelphia sending a sixth-round pick in 2026 along with a seventh-round pick in 2027 to Baltimore. Alexander is expected to further strengthen the Eagles’ secondary, which has been bolstered by recent acquisitions.
The New England Patriots have also been active, trading safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers. As part of this deal, New England will send a seventh-round draft choice to Pittsburgh and receive a sixth-round pick in return. This move reflects the Patriots’ strategy to reconfigure their defense ahead of the final stretch of the season.
Additional Trades Highlight Strategic Moves
The San Francisco 49ers have secured defensive end Keion White from the Patriots, sending a sixth-round pick in 2026 back to New England while receiving a seventh-round pick in the same draft year. This acquisition provides much-needed reinforcements to a 49ers pass rush that has faced injuries throughout the season.
In a noteworthy swap, the Tennessee Titans traded cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams. The Titans will receive a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft in this exchange, which also includes a conditional sixth-round pick heading back to Tennessee.
The Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars executed a trade involving cornerbacks, with the Browns acquiring Tyson Campbell and a seventh-round pick in 2026 in exchange for Greg Newsome II and a sixth-round pick. This move further emphasizes both teams’ commitment to strengthening their defensive backfields.
