We’re about to learn some hard truths about the Philadelphia Eagles between now and the NFL trade deadline on November 10.
The Eagles, losers of four straight games, sit at 2-4 and have three more games before the deadline, starting with a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys. After that, they’ll play 2 more games before the trade deadline: against the Washington Commanders in Week 8 and the first-place New York Giants in Week 9.
If the Eagles keep losing, something unthinkable could happen to the team that just won the Super Bowl two years ago: some version of a fire sale with the current roster.
To that end, one NFL analyst is advising the Eagles against continuing to make moves to win games.
“The Eagles can’t fall for the trap of being a ‘playoff contender’ because of a bad division,” The Philly Special’s Anthony DiBona wrote on his official X account on October 24. “The last thing that Philadelphia should do is trade for an expensive veteran like (Colts guard) Quenton Nelson. The Eagles should be focused on adding more draft picks now, not trading them away.”
