13 Days after acquiring Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders, and 5 days after wondering if the Eagles had finished their off-season shopping. They struck again with another trade.
This time, the Eagles finished off the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade by re-acquiring the pick they previously swapped.
Moving on from Harrison Bryant was one of multiple moves teams made this week by trading roster bubble players before the 53 man deadline on the 26th.
If Metchie was on the Texans bubble and at risk of being waived. The Eagles have the 32nd priority on the waiver wire, and would lose out players they’re after. Instead, teams are swapping late round picks to grab players they otherwise might not stand a chance acquiring next week.
Ahead Of Unforeseen Circumstances
The Eagles made a trade for a receiver that had many asking questions.
- Is A.J. Browns injury worse than perceived?
- Do the Eagles have bigger plans coming?
- What did this mean for Johnny Wilson, Ainias Smith or Darius Cooper?
Well, one of the receivers in question had their year ended when news broke that Johnny Wilson will be missing the 2025 season due to injury. Making the decision on how many receivers will make the 53 man roster a little easier.
Now the Eagles can carry 6 receivers without leaving a preseason sensation on waivers or to the practice squad.
- A.J. Brown
- DeVonta Smith
- Jahan Dotson
- John Metchie III
- Ainias Smith
- Darius Cooper
Are They Done Yet?
There’s still 5 days until the deadline. And even that hasn’t stopped Howie Roseman & Co. Before. With multiple trades coming right after roster cut downs leaves the Eagles with plenty of last minute options.
And for a team that still has 13 picks in the 2026 draft. They have more than enough capital to round out the perfect roster on their road to Super Bowl 60.
