Trey Hendrickson to Eagles? Tyreek Hill to Patriots? Seven trades we’d like to see during NFL offseason - NFL.com
Trey Hendrickson to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl with a relentless pass rush, but Philadelphia has questions on that front heading into the 2025 campaign, given the loss of Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith’s injury and the inherent need for young guys like Moro Ojomo (2023 seventh-round pick) and Jalyx Hunt (2024 third-rounder) to level up. General manager Howie Roseman hit big on the trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown in 2022. Trading for Hendrickson, who’s in a contract standoff with the Bengals, could provide a similar effect for the defense. Plus, the Eagles just cleared more cap space by dealing Huff. This would be a case of the rich getting richer — and a move I wouldn’t put past Philly.

Vic Fangio feels good about Eagles’ pass rush despite offseason departures - PFT
Fangio mentioned Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari as players he thinks he can count on to be a big part of the pass rush this season. “I feel good about Nolan,” Fangio said. “I think we’ll feel good about Jalyx now that he’s gonna get a lot of reps and develop. He played good for us down the stretch last year, and played a lot, as you saw, so I feel good about those two guys, and I think they’ll continue to improve. We’ve got Uche, we’ve got Azeez, we’ve got three other guys there. I think we’ll be fine.”

Eagles Film Review: Cameron Williams has the tools to become a starter - BGN
Clearly, I valued him incorrectly. I ended up ranking significantly higher than where he was drafted. But I was not alone! The number one offensive line scout online, Brandon Thorn, had Myles Hinton as a 3rd-round pick, too. So, I’m not crazy! As I mentioned earlier, I believe Cameron Williams is a physically imposing, long offensive tackle whose flashes of dominant power and ability to move in space make his upside easy to discern. He has several technical issues, as mentioned above (hand placement, pad level, balance issues, and penalties), but the physical tools are all in place. I don’t think he will be ready to play at all this year, but I wouldn’t risk putting him on the practice squad either. He could be a good candidate to have a ‘season-ending hamstring injury’ towards the end of training camp. I hope he gets the chance to attend Stoutland University for at least 2 seasons.

Eagles spring injury report - PhillyVoice
LB Nakobe Dean (knee): Dean tore his patellar tendon in the Eagles’ Wild Card Round win over the Green Bay Packers. As our Evan Macy detailed back in January, patellar tendon tears are more serious than ACL or Achilles tears. Last Tuesday, Vic Fangio remarked that Dean...
