Eagles' Top Trade Candidates Ahead of 2024 Training Camp | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Eagles tried to trade pass-rusher Josh Sweat earlier in the offseason. Ultimately, he agreed to a restructured deal, and Philadelphia traded Haason Reddick instead. Philadelphia has no reason to simply dump Sweat, but if it is looking to secure another player in a trade, he could become a valuable bargaining chip.

Sweat is still entering the final year of his contract and isn't a lock to stay with Philly beyond 2024. He'd undoubtedly interest teams in pass-rushing help after three straight seasons with at least 6.5 sacks.

Last season, Sweat also had an impressive 37 quarterback pressures. He recorded 11.5 sacks in 2022 and was a Pro Bowler in 2021. At only 27 years old, Sweat would net a sizeable return in a trade.

While parting with Sweat would be a blow to Philadelphia's defense, it wouldn't be an outright disaster. The Eagles should still be able to field a functional pass rush with Huff, Zack Baun, Brandon Graham, 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith Jr. and rookie Jalyx Hunt.

The Eagles won't simply dangle Sweat on the trade market because he's a proven contributor in their defense. Aside from draft capital, though, he's arguably the best realistic trade asset Philly could offer.
