Eagles acquire safety Kevin Byard from the Titans for draft picks and Terrell Edmunds

The #Eagles have added depth at the safety position, trading for Philadelphia native and Titans safety Kevin Byard ahead of the October 31st deadline

In a move that could make them Super Bowl favorites, the Eagles add safety Kevin Byard in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman has been working the phones in the past few days, looking to add a veteran safety to the mix with Reed Blankenship dealing with rib injuries and Justin Evans on injured reserve.

The Eagles had Terrell Edmunds and Sydney Brown log nearly every snap in Sunday’s win over Miami.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Philadelphia will trade a 2024 5th and 6th round pick and safety Terrell Edmunds, for Byard.

Byard’s 2023 salary was reduced to $4 million before the season, and he wants to win a Super Bowl.

He’s not a long-term solution at the safety position, but he’d bring a veteran presence and playmaking ability.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that #Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been working the phones and is specifically trying to trade for a safety,

The NFL trade deadline is slated for October 31, and with the expected Halloween deals likely to make it a historic day, we’re tracking whether Philadelphia will be buyers ahead of the stretch run.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that GM Howie Roseman has been “working the phones” diligently, looking to add an impact defender, preferably at the safety position.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman always has some magic up his sleeve, and he’s been working the phone. The Eagles are apparently staying put on running back Rashaad Penny, knowing depth will be necessary for a team that should be making a long postseason run. Philly is looking to make some additions on defense after they suffered a handful of injuries in the defensive backfield, specifically targeting a safety.

Second-year safety Reed Blankenship has dealt with rib injuries.

At the same time, Justin Evans has missed time with multiple injuries, along with rookie Sydney Brown, who missed three games with a hamstring injury.

The names the Eagles could target include Budda Baker and Justin Simmons, to name a few.

2022 NFL trade deadline takeaways: All the biggest moves, and how they impact Eagles

Here are takeaways and observations from the 2022 NFL trade deadline and how everything impacts the Philadelphia Eagles moving forward

The 2022 NFL Trade Deadline was the most active and historic day in league history, with 12 trades made on Tuesday leading up to the 4 p.m. ET deadline.

Before Tuesday, two significant moves were already made after Carolina sent Christian McCaffery to San Francisco and Robert Quinn moved from Chicago to Philadelphia.

Blockbuster deals were made, with the Vikings looking to keep pace with the Eagles by going out and acquiring pass-catching tight end T.J. Hockenson from the Lions.

Here are takeaways and observations from the moves with notes on how it impacts Philadelphia moving forward.

Titans standing pat at trade deadline amounts to waving the white flag on 2022

Any chance the Titans had at making a run in the playoffs died upon the passing of the trade deadline on Tuesday, when the team made no moves.

The Tennessee Titans desperately needed to add some help to their offensive line and wide receivers rooms, but as the Nov. 1 trade deadline came and went at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, the team was silent.

The Titans will not be adding to their biggest needs for the second half of the season and instead will keep things status quo. That means relying on terrible players to play better, injured players to get healthy, and players picked off the scrap heap to step up.

The problem with all that is there is nobody coming to save this team at left tackle, and the eventual returns of injured wideouts like Treylon Burks and Kyle Philips are hardly exciting given they weren’t doing much to begin with.

One reason the Titans likely didn’t make a move is their salary cap situation, which has them with just $2 million to spend, and in 2023 the Titans are in the red, according to Over the Cap.

Not an ideal situation for Tennessee, as their impressive 2019 draft class with the exception of Jeffery Simmons is hitting free agency in 2023, and he’ll likely get extended before hitting the market in 2024.

Of course, there are always ways to work around the salary cap if a team really wants to, but clearly the Titans don’t want to. They are intent on moving ahead with their soft rebuild.

What this all means is the Titans are simply letting it ride for 2022 and don’t plan on seriously contending for a title. After all, no team can contend with what Tennessee has going on on offense right now.

The Titans will still make the postseason because they simply suck the least out of the putrid AFC South teams, but their already paper-thin hopes of making a run in the playoffs ended at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.

Robert Quinn contract details: How trade to Eagles from Bears impacts salary cap

The Philadelphia Eagles traded for defensive end Robert Quinn, and here are the details for his contract and how it will impact the franchise in the future.

The Eagles bolstered their pass rush on Wednesday with the acquisition of Chicago Bears defensive end, Robert Quinn, in exchange for a 2023 fourth-round pick.

After Derek Barnett suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Week 1, there’s been a dropoff in production after Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat at the position, and Quinn will absorb the snaps used by Patrick Johnson and Tarron Jackson.

He was released on Wednesday as well.

With the move now official, here’s how Quinn’s arrival will impact the Eagles.

Sports Illustrated suggests Titans trade for Browns’ Kareem Hunt

The Titans need to be focusing on wide receiver and offensive line ahead of the trade deadline, not running back.

With the Nov. 1 trade deadline rapidly approaching, experts from different media outlets have begun suggesting trades for teams, including the Tennessee Titans.

We previously covered Pro Football Focus’ Mike Renner suggesting the Titans trade for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool, which would make sense with Tennessee’s need at the position.

The only problem was that Renner had the Titans giving up a pair of Day 2 picks, which is far too much for Claypool, whose stock is at an all-time low.

Now, we turn to the trade suggestion from Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr, who wants to see the Titans trade for Cleveland Browns running back, Kareem Hunt. Here’s his take:

The Titans could outduel the Rams for Hunt, a versatile backfield threat who had a comfortable hold on the Browns’ passing-down role for a while. He’d be a capable checkdown option for Ryan Tannehill, whose running backs are second and third, respectively, on his target list. Hunt can add another big body to the backfield to help the Titans grind down opponents and bolster the play-action game for Tannehill.

While Hunt would be a great addition for any team in the NFL thanks to his versatility and playmaking ability, this trade would make no sense for Tennessee.

Granted, he doesn’t possess the talent Hunt does, but Dontrell Hilliard has done a good enough job as the team’s primary pass-catching back that the Titans don’t need to pull the trigger on this kind of trade.

Adding to that, Tennessee spent a 2022 draft pick on Hassan Haskins to help spell Derrick Henry, and Hunt would only be a rental, as he’s set to hit free agency in 2023, which is a reason why the Browns could move him.

If the Titans are going to give up assets to acquire a player ahead of the NFL trade deadline, they should be looking at two positions that are of much greater need in wide receiver and offensive line.

Titans low on cap space ahead of NFL trade deadline

The Titans may need to free up some cap space if they want to make a trade.

With the NFL trade deadline getting closer by the day (Nov. 1) many within the Tennessee Titans’ fanbase are holding out hope that the team will make a move to improve the roster.

If the team does indeed have aspirations to make a deadline move, they’ll have to get creative with their salary cap.

According to Over the Cap, Tennessee currently has $1.59 million in cap space, the second-lowest total in the NFL. The Titans only rank ahead of the Minnesota Vikings.

Of course, if a team really wants to get something done, there’s always a way to manipulate the salary cap. If they were to go that route, the likeliest option for the Titans at this point of the season would be to restructure a contract or two.

Truthfully, it’s probably unlikely that any significant move is made prior to the November 1st trade deadline, but you can’t rule out anything until the date officially passes.

Nonetheless, where there’s a will, there’s always a way, and that’s no different here.

The real question is if there’s anyone realistically available who would be worth manipulating the salary cap for, ultimately leading to financial repercussions at some point in the near future.

It remains to be seen how all this plays out, but the entire fanbase will be watching closely in hopes that the team finds a way to bring in another competent body to help out one of their positions of need (wide receiver, offensive line).

7 players Titans should target for trade ahead of deadline

Shaun Calderon lists seven players (and some honorable mentions) the Titans should target ahead of the trade deadline.

The November 1st NFL trade deadline is rapidly approaching as fans of the Tennessee Titans and across the league scour their social media timelines in hopes that their team makes a significant addition to improve its roster.

The Titans may be winners of four straight games, but things have hardly been ideal. The team has struggled with consistency in multiple positions, most notably at wide receiver and offensive line.

This article is going to include seven players from across the league that the Titans should be interested in. At the very least, Tennessee should be calling about several of these players and gauging their availability, as well as their price tag.

Before we move on, we want to emphasize that these are purely speculative and there is no imminent trade on the horizon with any of these talented players.

With all that said, let’s take a closer look at the seven possible trade targets for the Tennessee Titans.
