Just when you think that the NFL will never let Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman fleece another team, Roseman fleeces another team, and 31 GMs around the league are once again left to wonder, “How did he get away with it… again?”

This time, Roseman went back to the source of perhaps his greatest trade — the April, 2022 deal that landed the Eagles receiver A.J. Brown — in the Tennessee Titans. This time, Roseman didn’t have to part with first- and third-round picks as he did for his No. 1 receiver. All he had to do was to give up 2024 fifth- and sixth-round picks, and safety Terrell Edmunds, for safety Kevin Byard. The eight-year veteran out of Middle Tennessee State is a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time First-Team All-Pro, and this season, he’s allowed 15 catches on 21 targets for 181 yards, 72 yards after the catch, no touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 97.5.

It’s an important transaction for the Eagles, who just came off their 31-17 Sunday night win over the Miami Dolphins. Micah Parsons, who of course plays quite well for the Eagles’ NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys, thought it was a great move.

Byard left this heartfelt message to Titans fans on his way out of Tennessee. Now that he’s on his way to Philly, what does that mean for him, and for the Eagles’ defense?
