The Philadelphia Eagles are under a large microscope. After winning the Super Bowl in 2024, their offense suffered in 2025, despite winning 11 games, and they were eliminated in the wild card round by a depleted San Francisco 49ers team.
Now, long-time offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has left the organization, Landon Dickerson may retire, and Lane Johnson could also call it a career or find a way to follow Stoutland wherever he goes.
With all of this in mind, the Eagles can earn back a lot of goodwill with their fans by making a splash trade for Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports labeled the Eagles as a team to watch in a trade, projecting it would take a 2026 first-round pick and 2027 second-round pick to get the deal done.
“Howie Roseman is never shy about making a splash in the trade market. Oftentimes, he’s leading the charge on jaw-dropping offseason moves,” Sullivan writes. “In fact, Roseman and the Eagles reportedly checked in with the Cowboys (!) to see if they’d trade Parsons when that saga was unfolding, which suggests they could be interested in Crosby. Philadelphia did make an in-season trade to address its pass-rushing deficiencies, landing Jaelan Phillips from the Dolphins at the deadline. Before that deal (Weeks 1-9), the Eagles ranked 14th in pressure rate and were tied for 25th in sacks. After Phillips arrived (Weeks 10-18), they jumped to sixth in pressure rate and tied for fifth in sacks.”
Putting Crosby on the same defensive line as Jalen Carter would certainly keep the Eagles in the Super Bowl picture.
