The Philadelphia Eagles sit at 2-5 with two games remaining before the NFL’s November 10 trade deadline, staring down the reality of a five-game losing streak. While the NFC East remains wide open on paper, a sudden rebound looks increasingly unlikely. That sobering slide has general manager Howie Roseman evaluating the roster for potential deals, as NBC Sports Philadelphia reported.
With the franchise transitioning from its Super Bowl LIX core toward a younger roster, several prominent veterans have emerged as logical trade chips. The calculus in front offices across the league always balances financial commitments against future draft capital. In Philadelphia, that means weighing the market value of established starters against the long-term salary cap flexibility required to rebuild.
Barkley Health Struggles Complicate Roster Decisions
At 29 years old, Saquon Barkley represents the most difficult decision on the roster. Barkley has appeared in just two full games this season, though he flashed elite form while playing through injuries against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Under contract through the 2028 season with only $2.5 million guaranteed in 2027, his on-field impact remains immense.
Yet his health struggles in 2026 complicate his market. Back in 2022, the Carolina Panthers traded a 26-year-old Christian McCaffrey for a package including second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks. While industry value for Barkley right now likely sits in the second- to third-round range, his locker-room and community presence in Philadelphia makes a trade an extraordinarily steep hill to climb.
Zack Baun Commands Second Round Pick
Zack Baun has proven to be one of the shrewdest free agent signings in recent franchise history, but turning 30 in December with no guaranteed money beyond this year changes the timeline. Baun signed a three-year, $51 million deal following the Super Bowl run, yet his high-level production—51 tackles, five tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits in six starts—commands attention. NBC Sports Philadelphia noted that the team cannot entertain offers for anything less than a second-round pick for the Pro Bowl linebacker and team captain.
Along the defensive front, Moro Ojomo offers intriguing upside. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the team with 18 pressures despite missing out on a sack so far this season. Following a six-sack campaign in his third year, Ojomo is on the final year of his rookie contract with the Eagles. A younger player with remaining upside could net the Eagles a Day 2 or early Day 3 return.
Meanwhile, fellow 25-year-old edge rusher Nolan Smith is tied for the team lead with three sacks in six games. Having picked up Smith’s fifth-year option for 2027 and converted most of that $12.5 million into an option bonus, the Eagles hold a player with multi-year control rather than a half-year rental. Last deadline, the Eagles acquired Jaelan Phillips for a third-round pick, establishing a baseline floor for edge rushers that commands at least that much for Smith.
Dickerson Could Bring Back Fourth Round Selection
Landon Dickerson finds himself in a spotlight similar to traded offensive lineman Cam Jurgens. Both were second-round picks who played through injuries during the Super Bowl run and carry top-tier positional salaries. Dickerson’s contract was restructured this offseason through 2027. Following the Jurgens trade that netted a second-round pick, Dickerson could bring back a fourth-round selection as the front office continues restructuring its trenches.
Hollywood Brown joined the team on a one-year, $5 million deal this offseason but has played in only two games, yielding 587 receiving yards with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. Because he has barely contributed this season, a late-round pick or pick swap would suffice to move him to a contender. Similarly, tight end Dallas Goedert is playing on a one-year deal in his ninth season, tallying 22 catches for 228 yards and two touchdowns across five games. Goedert’s postseason resume—56 catches for 595 yards and five touchdowns across 13 playoff games—makes him an appealing playoff rental for an early-to-mid Day 3 pick.
Rounding out the list, cornerback Riq Woolen signed a one-year, $12 million deal this offseason after finishing his rookie contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Following a tough outing against the Cowboys where he surrendered five receptions for 111 yards, his trade stock sits primarily in the early Day 3 range (Rounds 4-5) for cornerback-needy contenders.
