Eagles trade struggling Pro Bowler — and get a stunning haul

Philadelphia Eagles traded offensive lineman Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday for a second-round pick in 2028, a fifth-round pick in 2027, and an additional seventh-round pick in 2027. The trade was unexpected, but the Eagles believe it was a smart deal. Jurgens, who was moved from center to left guard before Week 2, struggled in that role, allowing 12 pressures in his three starts at left guard, according to Pro Football Focus.

Jurgens has had a tough time over the past two years, but his teammates do not blame him for his poor play this season. They attribute it to the lack of depth across the board due to the team's decision to move him. Jurgens reported concussion symptoms after the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams and will not play in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

The Eagles will likely replace Jurgens with undrafted free agent Willie Lampkin, who could take over the starting job once Landon Dickerson recovers from his knee injury. Jurgens signed a four-year, $68 million extension with the Eagles in 2022, earning Pro Bowl selections in 2024 and 2025 as a second-round pick in 2022. The trade means the Eagles will face dead cap hits of $4.5 million this year and $15.1 million for 2027.
