Josh Sweat landing spots: Ranking the 5 teams most likely to trade for Eagles DE

Ian Rapoport reports the Philadelphia Eagles are taking trade calls for Josh Sweat and we’re looking at the five most likely trade partners

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and after a 32-9 wild card loss to Tampa Bay, the focus will now shift to reshaping the roster to fit two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

The 2024 cap is $255 million, and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is tenth in the NFL with over $40 million in cap space according to Over The Cap.

The Birds are set to have 19 pending free agents after re-signing Brandon Graham, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

Ian Rapoport is reporting that Philadelphia is taking trade calls on both pass rushers Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat.

Depending on who you ask, Sweat is either a building block for the future or a player Philadelphia could potentially move on from for salary cap purposes.

Sweat finished his sixth NFL season with 6.5 sacks (second-best on the Eagles) and 43 tackles in 17 regular-season games.

Sweat saw his role increase even more in the Eagles’ defensive end rotation this season, as his 71 percent snap share increased over his 56 percent mark from last season.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman might have questions about extending Sweat after his sack totals dropped from the 11.0 he logged in 2022.

Sweat had 5.5 sacks through nine games but didn’t manage another until Week 18.

Sweat is entering a contract year with a base salary of just over $1 million and a cap hit of just over $9 million. He’s set to count over $21 million against the 2025 salary cap, but has he reached his ceiling as a pass rusher?

Sweat also had 19 QB hits through 10 games and just four in the last seven games.

With the new league year just days away, here are five potential Trade partners.

A look back at Eagles 2023 NFL free agent class

With 2024 NFL free agency set to begin in less than two weeks, we’re looking back at the Philadelphia Eagles 2023 free agent class

Coming off of their Super Bowl LVII loss to the Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles lost several starting players to free agency — C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Marcus Epps, T.J. Edwards, and Kyzir White.

Howie Roseman helped alleviate some of that loss by adding six veterans on one-year deals to help the Eagles return to the postseason in 2023.

Philadelphia started 10-1, before losing six of their final seven games including a wild card loss to the Buccaneers.

One big reason for the collapse was the lack of production from each of those veteran additions.

Kansas City repeated as Super Bowl champions, and with all the attention now focused on 2024 NFL free agency, we’re looking back at the 2023 class.

Brandon Graham, who turns 36 in April, says he wants to return to the Eagles for one more final season, his 15th, and he’s one of the few guys on the roster deserving of writing his final script.

We’re looking at Philadelphia’s most significant needs with the scouting combine off and running.
