  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles, without quarterback Jalen Hurts due to a blood clot, may consider selling players and starting a rebuild for the upcoming season. Several Eagles, including guard Landon Dickerson, tight end Dallas Goedert, defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, and cornerback Riq Woolen, could aid other playoff contenders. ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests the team could trade star running back Saquon Barkley to the Minnesota Vikings for a conditional 2027 third-round pick. Barnwell believes the Vikings could benefit from Barkley's star power, using him as their primary back and allowing running back Chris Jones to complement him. The Eagles would receive better Vikings third-round picks if Barkley rushes for 500+ yards after the trade and if Minnesota reaches the playoffs. If Barkley rushes for 150+ yards in the playoffs and the Vikings reach the Super Bowl, the Eagles would receive a second-round pick. Barkley has been dealing with a hamstring injury but is listed as questionable for this week's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his limited performance this season, Barkley had a strong start to his career with the Eagles, rushing for 3,145 yards and 20 touchdowns in two years, while adding 551 yards and four more scores via the air. While the Eagles have not indicated any plans to trade Barkley, if they continue to lose games, moving the Pro Bowl running back might be on the table.",
