Three Eagles Who Could Be Traded By Training Camp
The new league year is set to begin March 16th at 4PM. The Eagles are set to make some noise in the trade market with their draft capitol, and some cap space to work with this year. If the Eagles make some trades in the coming weeks, here are some players to expect to be dealt.
Fletcher Cox: Ian Rapoport tweeted on Friday morning that the Eagles were close to moving Cox at the trade deadline last season, and that he is a name to watch this coming off season. Cox is coming off of a “down year”, posting 3.5 sacks, and only 35 tackles. If the Eagles traded him before June 1st, then they’d have to eat a $25 million dead cap hit, and if they waited until after June 1st, they’d take a $9 million dead cap hit in 2022, and another $16 million in 2023. Due to the amount of money they would lose in a trade, it can be expected they won’t be moving him for anything small. The Eagles can still feel comfortable keeping him, but moving him for, at the very least, an early day two pick and another player shouldn’t be out of the question.
Andre Dillard: Dillard never played like the first round selection he was picked to play as. His lack of versatility, and the rise of Jordan Mailata, are both reasons the Eagles could look to move Dillard. His trade market could be decent considering their are plenty of teams trying to compete for a Superbowl who need left tackles. His biggest problem is that he can only play left tackle, and he isn’t able to move around the line like a lot of other lineman can. Teams would be cautious when making offers for Dillard, so I would expect him to be moved with a pick in exchange for another pick from the team he’s sent to.
Jalen Reagor: It’s fairly obvious why the Eagles should look to move Reagor while they still can. One more year like last year and his value will diminish and he’ll be nothing more than a practice squad player at best. If they move him now and pair him with a day three pick, they might be able to move up in the third or fourth round for someone they have on their board. Some teams who need depth at receiver may feel comfortable making an offer, or accepting an offer from the Eagles, so they should pull the trigger if they can.
