Eagles Face Tough Decisions Amid Disappointing Season
The Philadelphia Eagles began the 2026 season with hopes of reaching the Super Bowl, but a disappointing 2-4 record and the season-ending injury to Jalen Hurts have shifted their focus. General Manager Howie Roseman may look to trade notable players ahead of the November 10 deadline to gather assets for a potential rebuild.
One player who could be on the trading block is Saquon Barkley, whose high salary may no longer be justified given the team's current struggles. Roseman has a history of trading players before their value declines, making Barkley a candidate for a deal.
Additionally, defensive tackle Ojomo, in the final year of his rookie contract, may also be moved as the Eagles cannot afford to re-sign him after significant investments in other players. Young stars DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell, both due for new contracts in 2028, could face similar scrutiny, with the team potentially opting to trade one to manage salary cap concerns.
