Eagles Mull Goedert Trade, Dismiss A.J. Brown Rumor

As the NFL Draft approaches, the Philadelphia Eagles are exploring significant roster changes, including the possibility of trading tight end Dallas Goedert to reduce salary cap commitments. There is speculation about a potential, though unlikely, swap involving Goedert and New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, as well as rumors—dismissed as implausible—about wide receiver A.J. Brown being traded to the Patriots. The Eagles, led by GM Howie Roseman, may aggressively target veterans and consider moving up in the first round if an appealing prospect emerges. The team has shown a readiness to adjust trade expectations, prioritizing financial flexibility, as demonstrated by last year's Haason Reddick trade. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders are also rumored to be considering trades, especially involving running back Austin Ekeler, though there are reservations about aiding a division rival. The Eagles’ moves reflect a balance between cap management and competitive roster building.
