Lane Johnson’s retirement and the trade of center Cam Jurgens have fueled speculation that Philadelphia may continue reshaping its roster. CBS Sports says the Eagles could consider more deals before the trade deadline.
Right tackle Lane Johnson ended his 14-season career with Philadelphia, citing mental health. The Eagles then traded center Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens. In return, Philadelphia received a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round selection.
CBS Sports writer Bryan DeArdo sees the moves as possible signs of a rebuild. That is the writer’s analysis, not a plan announced by the team. After the Jurgens trade, Philadelphia has two first-round and two second-round picks in the 2028 draft. The team still has significant talent, so further moves before the November 10 deadline are not certain.
DeArdo lists tight end Dallas Goedert as one player to watch. Goedert returned to Philadelphia on a one-year, $7 million contract and can become a free agent in 2027. He injured his knee in Week 2 but remains productive. The writer suggests the Eagles could receive a Day 3 draft pick for him and names the San Francisco 49ers as a possible destination, while noting that San Francisco has no pressing need at tight end.
Cornerback Tariq Woolen is another possible candidate, according to CBS Sports. He is on a one-year, $12 million contract and can become a free agent in 2027. DeArdo cites PFF data showing that Woolen has allowed 12.5 yards per completion as the primary defender, ranking 37th among 55 players with at least 20 such matchups this season. The writer says several teams could be interested, including the Detroit Lions.
The third name is defensive end A.J. Epenesa, who has played 11% of Philadelphia’s defensive snaps this season. He recorded 19 sacks for Buffalo from 2022 to 2024. DeArdo says the Eagles could consider a late-round pick or a pick swap if a contender looking for pass-rush help makes an offer.
