Eagles Consider Trades as Jalen Hurts Faces Injury Setback
The Philadelphia Eagles, currently with a 2-4 record, are entering a transition phase following the diagnosis of franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts with blood clots, leading to his placement on injured reserve.
ESPN analyst Ben Solak anticipates that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman will be active in trade discussions as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Potential trades include cornerback Riq Woolen to the Chicago Bears for a 2027 fourth-round pick and running back Saquon Barkley to the Houston Texans for multiple draft picks and running back Woody Marks.
Woolen is viewed as a valuable asset, while Barkley's potential trade would come with significant financial implications for the Eagles. The Texans, looking to enhance their playoff chances, could benefit greatly from adding Barkley to their roster.
