Three trade targets the Eagles could still consider
The NFL trade deadline is almost here and the rumors are swirling. The Eagles already made a major splash by acquiring Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn. Quinn provides an immediate upgrade to the Eagles’ defensive line and will help the teams run at a Super Bowl championship. Could the Eagles look to make another splash? Here are three more players the Eagles could target.
#1- Mike Gesicki, Tight End, Miami Dolphins
Do the Eagles really need Gesicki? Not really, but they also didn’t necessarily need Robert Quinn either. Dallas Goedert is a star in the making as a tight end but the depth behind him is questionable. Adding Gesicki would give the Eagles another weapon for Hurts to throw the ball to. A duo of Goedert and Gesicki along with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on the outside will make the Eagles high powered offense even more frightening. Gesicki had a lot of his success last year running routes out of the slot and with the addition of Tyreek Hill he hasn’t had the same success in Miami. He would almost certainly be a rental for the Eagles, but when you’re in a position to make a run at the Super Bowl, you make those win-now moves to help bolster your team in any way possible.
#2- Kareem Hunt, Running Back, Cleveland Browns
The Eagles aren’t necessarily in a position where they need to address a certain position. The whole team is playing solid and there aren’t many flaws to the roster. Adding Kareem Hunt would just be another lucrative piece to add to the offense. Miles Sanders is having a fantastic year but he has had an injury history in the past. Trading for Hunt would give the Eagles a great replacement if Miles were to get hurt. A duo of Sanders and Hunt along with the best offensive line in football would be a scary thought for opposing defenses. A fourth-round pick is reportedly the price for Hunt and that is a solid price for a team trying to win and compete now.
#3- Chuck Clark, Safety, Baltimore Ravens
Back in the summer, there were rumblings about a potential Jalen Reagor for Chuck Clark swap. Those obviously never fell through but the Eagles could still look to add Clark now. Clark is stuck behind Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore and he could help the backend of the secondary here in Philadelphia. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps have been solid as the starting safeties, but the depth behind them is lacking. Adding Clark gives the Eagles another safety blanket if an injury were to happen and also allows Jonathan Gannon to rotate between Epps, Gardner-Johnson, and Clark.
