3 players who make sense for the Eagles at the trade deadline, 1.0 - PhillyVoice
Dalvin Tomlinson (30), DT, Browns (6’3, 325). Tomlinson is a player the Eagles know well, as they have faced him 10 times over his eight-year NFL career with the Giants, Vikings, and Browns. He is a very durable player, as he has only missed five games due to injury over his career. He has played in 119 NFL games, all as a starter. With the Browns in 2024, Tomlinson has played 276 snaps so far, or 34.5 per game. He has 12 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 4 QB hits. [...] Tomlinson could provide a veteran presence among all of the Eagles’ young linemen, further bolster their depth, and serve as another proven run stopper. Estimated cost: Tomlinson would be cheap financially, as he has a small base salary in 2024, and manageable costs in 2025 and 2026 if the Eagles wanted to hang onto him longer than just this season. My guess is that he would cost something like a fourth- or fifth-round pick.
What is the most interesting team heading into the deadline? - ESPN+
Fowler: The Eagles are always a threat to make moves at the deadline, but they have no obvious needs. Left tackle Jordan Mailata will return soon. The youth experiment on defense is going well with pass rusher Nolan Smith Jr. and corners Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. Would GM Howie Roseman take a shot at a star, such as Cardinals safety Budda Baker?
No need for a big splash trade for the Eagles this time around - BGN
Roseman has made a number of trade deadline moves over the last few years, very few of which have had any real impact on the team. Last year he traded for Kevin Byard, who played a lot and, at the same time, played poorly. Not a great combination. In 2022 he dealt for defensive end Robert Quinn, who had absolutely nothing left in the tank despite the fanfare. In ‘17, he struck gold with Jay Ajayi, but the 2019 Golden Tate deal, despite the game-winning touchdown catch against the Bears in the wild card game, was less-than-impactful, and the Genard Avery deal was a bust. It’s difficult for players to acclimate from one team to another in the middle of an NFL season, especially on offense. Unless that players is already familiar with the offensive coaching staff’s play calling language and tendencies, it takes too much time for a receiver to get up to speed to be effective. And usually, defensive players dealt at the deadline don’t have much left in the tank. In short, as defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday, mid-season trade acquisitions rarely have an impact.
