Silent Night: Howie Roseman & Eagles Sit Tight at Trade Deadline
The Eagles Didn’t Make Any Significant Moves At the Trade Deadline.
It’s a Clear Signal.
The Eagles did the unimaginable this week. Or perhaps it’s what they didn’t do.

What this means for the 2024–2025 Eagles, who made no moves at the trade deadline, is that whether this team roars through the NFC playoffs like 2023 or fizzles in a still January wind like 2022 and 2024, these Philadelphia Eagles are good enough to beat anyone. A loaded offense, with an improved defense and impressive rookie contributions, has every chance to win the NFC and beyond.
The Dallas Cowboys will be on the opposing sideline this week. Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, second-time Zeke Elliott high-priced, MRI Booking, the Cowboys are once again on the verge of mediocrity.
But the Philadelphia Eagles are here to help. This week, they released former Cowboys backup quarterback Will Grier, and many around the Novacare Complex have continued faith in backup Kenny Pickett.
The Eagles also parted ways with tight end Albert Okwuegbunam. The former Denver Bronco was never able to contribute for the Eagles alongside Dallas Goedert.
The moves are a clear sign that South Philadelphia’s Novacare Complex believes the Eagles are in a position to compete—and they’ll compete this year.
