Eagles could blow up roster after Commanders disaster: 5 players who might be traded

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, dropping them to the bottom of the NFC East and eliminating their playoff hopes. The Eagles, currently at 2-6, had been hoping to win this game to keep their season alive. Heading into the match, the Giants led the division with a 4-2-1 record.

The Eagles had initially been confident they could secure enough wins to compete for another NFC East title, but their hopes quickly faded in the second half when the Commanders held them scoreless. With the season spiraling out of control, major changes may be on the horizon for the Eagles both during the season and after it concludes.

Potential moves for the upcoming season include evaluating quarterback depth by starting Joe Milton or Cole Payton, giving them a chance to serve as the team's backup in 2027. Tanner McKee, in his final year of his rookie deal, has shown a lack of long-term upside and has struggled with his ability to push the ball downfield. The Eagles might bench him for the final month of the season or a few games to give the other quarterbacks on the roster more playing time.

With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Eagles could begin shopping certain players, such as tight end Dallas Goedert, cornerback Riq Woolen, and left guard Landon Dickerson. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, could also be a target, but the team has reportedly not made him available for trade talks.

Nolan Smith, the edge rusher, could fetch the Eagles a Day 2 pick, but it is unclear whether the team would be open to trading him. Additionally, adding a safety on a rookie contract could be beneficial for the Eagles, potentially forming a starting tandem with Andrew Mukuba for the next two seasons and addressing one of their safety concerns before the 2027 offseason.
