Eagles Rumored to Consider Jalen Carter Trade Before Deadline

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 2-7 on the season, following a loss to the New York Giants on Sunday at home.

The loss marked the seventh straight defeat for the Eagles, sending the team even further down into the hole that they are in. Philadelphia has been trying to stop the bleeding, with nothing working so far.

With the NFL trade deadline coming tomorrow, the Eagles have been rumored to potentially be undergoing a fire sale of sorts. Since Philadelphia isn't likely to make the playoffs due to injuries and poor play, the front office may as well sell high on a few pieces who aren't long-term fits.

Philadelphia is seen as one of the teams around the league who is expected to be the most active before the deadline ends. The Eagles have multiple players that opposing teams could want, and the organization could land some future assets in the process.

As the trade deadline comes to a close, NFL insider Albert Breer of SI.com has reported that the Eagles could look to move a few defenders before everything ends. Breer named Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo as possible options before the trade deadline

The Eagles may not want to part with Ojomo, but with the team having multiple players signed at the same position, something could happen. The same goes with Carter, but the Eagles likely understand that they could net more in a return for the veteran.

Carter has played in nine games for the Eagles this season, posting 25 total tackles, five sacks, three pass deflections, and four forced fumbles. When engaged in the game, Carter remains one of the better defensive tackles in the league today.

But he has been noted to have some focus problems at times, leading to questions around his entire game. However, Carter is a very talented player, and if the Eagles were to move him, the team would likely be able to land some strong draft capital in return.

As for Ojomo, he is seen as more of a depth piece for the Eagles, but the team has liked his development over the years. The fourth-year player has 24 total tackles this season, but no sacks, even though he had six last year.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles will indeed move either of these two players, but the front office is looking to be active, scooping the league for opportunities.
