Potential Trade Candidates
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for training camp, several players on the roster could be considered expendable and might be attractive to other teams. This follows a pattern where general manager Howie Roseman has made numerous trades since 2016, often involving players further down the depth chart.
One such player is Kelee Ringo, a cornerback who was a Day 3 draft pick in 2023. Despite his size and speed, Ringo’s performance in 2025 did not meet expectations for a starting role. He appeared in 17 games, starting three, and played 311 snaps, but committed multiple pass interference and holding penalties. While he offers special teams value, the Eagles’ strong cornerback depth might make him a trade candidate, potentially for another depth player at a position of need. Ringo, who turned 24 in June, might find a better fit in a defense that frequently uses Cover-3 schemes.
Offensive lineman Cameron Williams is another player who could draw interest. The Eagles have a strong offensive tackle duo in Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, along with other depth pieces. If Williams performs well in preseason games, he might attract a Day 3 draft pick in return, possibly a sixth-round pick, similar to a past trade involving Darian Kinnard.
Wide receiver Darius Cooper, an undrafted rookie from last season, made the 53-man roster and played in 13 games, recording 9 receptions for 92 yards. Despite his encouraging preseason, the Eagles have added significant depth at wide receiver, including a first-round pick and other acquisitions. Cooper might be a suitable prospect for a non-contending team looking to develop young talent.
Quarterback Situation
The backup quarterback position also presents potential trade scenarios. Tanner McKee has been with the Eagles for three years, diligently preparing as a backup. While his trade hype has reportedly cooled, the Eagles might still be open to moving him if the right offer, such as a conditional third-round pick, materializes. However, the team may also need McKee, especially given that Jalen Hurts has missed games and McKee is seen as a better option than the third-string quarterback.
Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, who has played in 179 games, is also a potential trade piece. Despite some concerns about his recent performances, there are teams with less experienced backup quarterbacks who might value Dalton’s extensive experience. Teams with perceived weaker QB2 situations could consider acquiring Dalton, potentially for a sixth-round pick.
Training Camp Storylines
As training camp begins, the Eagles’ offense will be under scrutiny to see how it adapts to new coordinator Sean Mannion’s system. Observers will be looking for signs of efficiency in the passing game, effectiveness in the running game, and overall team health. The defense is expected to set the floor for the team, while the offense’s performance will determine the ceiling for the upcoming season.
Another storyline to watch is the contract situation of defensive tackle Jalen Carter. While he has two years remaining on his current deal, including a fifth-year option, the Eagles are known for addressing contracts of key players proactively. The defensive tackle market has seen significant deals, and Carter’s talent suggests he could command a substantial contract in the future.
The edge rusher rotation is also a point of interest, particularly with Jonathan Greenard recovering from shoulder surgery. The team will assess whether there is sufficient depth in this area. The Eagles are scheduled to report to training camp on Tuesday and begin their first practice session on Wednesday, with the preseason opening on August 15.
