NFL reporter says emoji sums up Eagles' reaction to Bengals trade nix

ESPN/NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo expressed the dissatisfaction of the Philadelphia Eagles over the failed trade involving defensive end Arnold Ebiketie and the Cincinnati Bengals. According to Garafolo, the team's reaction was conveyed through an emoji, which indicated their displeasure. NFL analyst Field Yates praised Nick Korte from Over the Cap, an expert on compensatory picks rules, for his role in assisting the Bengals.

This was the second time Korte helped the Bengals navigate such rules in three years. The news of the trade was announced by Ian Rapoport, who later reported that it had not been finalized. Sports agent Drew Rosenhaus suggested on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show that Ebiketie might not have wanted to play for the Bengals, which could have contributed to the trade falling through. This report originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer.
