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 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 Eagles are 5-1 on the season, have one of the NFL’s top defensive units, and could add more pressure off the edge or a difference-maker at the safety position.

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.

10 takeaways from the Eagles’ initial 53-man roster

10 takeaways from the Philadelphia #Eagles’ initial 53-man roster

NFL rosters are always fluid, so things will change over the next week, even after the Eagles unveiled an initial 53-man roster at the deadline.

Philadelphia made some tough cuts, and went light at critical spots, choosing to release punter Arryn Siposs.

The team will watch the waiver wire, and construct the remaining roster and 16-man practice squad ahead of Thursday’s practice.

Here are ten takeaways from the 53-man roster with the moves now complete.

Eagles named the best trade fit for Cardinals’ safety Budda Baker

The Philadelphia Eagles were named the best trade fit for Cardinals safety Budda Baker by ESPN’s Bill Barnwell

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

Even after signing Terrell Edmunds and drafting Sydney Brown, some NFL analysts believe the Eagles still need to address the safety position.

Bill Barnwell named Budda Baker, a perfect target for Philadelphia in his latest free agent and potential trade, fits for ESPN.

Budda Baker, S, Arizona Cardinals
Best team fit in a trade: Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles signed safety Terrell Edmunds in free agency and drafted rookie Sydney Brown in Round 3, but would general manager Howie Roseman take a swing to land a veteran? Baker, who requested a trade in April, is one of the league’s most urgent safeties. He has incredible play speed and would fit as a top-down defender in split-field coverages under new coordinator Sean Desai.

Baker had at least 98 tackles over the past five seasons, and he creates plays on the ball in coverage, too.

Baker, 27, is under contract for the 2023 season at $16.9 million, and he’s currently the seventh-highest-paid safety in the league.

Baker also has a club option for 2024 worth $18 million.

Adam Schefter reports that Baker’s trade request was made in February, and the versatile safety wants to be the highest-paid player at the position.

Baker is a true difference maker, and in his six seasons with Arizona, he has earned five Pro Bowl selections, two first-team All-Pro selections, and one second-team All-Pro selection.

The former Washington Huskies star logged 11 tackles, two interceptions, seven pass breakups, and one forced fumble in 15 games for Arizona.

He’d more than make up for the enormous big-play potential that C.J. Gardner-Johnson took with him to Detroit.

D’Andre Swift will wear No. 0 as Eagles reveal jersey numbers for new additions

The Philadelphia Eagles revealed the jersey numbers for nine new additions ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft

D’Andre Swift just returned home and he’s already making history for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles proposed at the recent NFL Annual Meeting to allow teams to grant a player the jersey number given the scarcity of available numbers for 90-man rosters. The proposal passed at the meeting in Phoenix in March, and the former St. Joes Prep and Georgia Bulldogs star will now wear the No. 0.

Philadelphia also revealed the uniform number for three returning players, a host of free agent signings, and 2023 NFL draft and undrafted free agents.

Watch: Jalen Hurts, Eagles greet D’Andre Swift on his first day at NovaCare Complex

Jalen Hurts and other Eagles greeted RB D’Andre Swift at the NovaCare Complex after his trade to Philadelphia.

D’Andre Swift is officially back home in Philadelphia after getting traded to the Eagles during the NFL draft.

A St. Joes Prep standout and Georgia Bulldogs alum, Swift will enter 2023 looking for a new contract and a breakout campaign running behind the NFL’s top offensive line.

On Monday, hours after the trade was announced, Swift was at the NovaCare Complex and greeted by All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts and other Eagles teammates.

Swift, a former second-round pick by the previous Lions staff, logged 1,680 yards and 18 touchdowns on 364 carries in three years with Detroit.

A genuine dual threat on offense, Swift also logged 1,198 receiving yards and seven additional scores on 156 catches and should pair with Kenneth Gainwell to stress the opposition’s outside linebackers and safety groups.
