Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman isn't afraid to make a bold move. That was clear last offseason when the team added Saquon Barkley to an already talented offense, helping elevate the franchise to its victory in Super Bowl LIX.
In 2025, that "big swing" could be a trade for Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. NFL insider Dianna Russini floated the Eagles as a franchise interested in the Browns star, who has requested a trade and made clear that he won't sign an extension to stay in Cleveland on her podcast Friday.
She expanded on the idea in a piece for on Saturday, outlining the moves that the Eagles would likely have to make in order to add the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year.:
Baun was one of the NFL's surprising breakout stars and a Defensive Player of the Year finalist in 2024. Sweat and Williams each made their presence known during Philly's dominant Super Bowl performance against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Becton also became entrenched as a member of the Eagles offensive line.
Any of them would be a tough loss, but they don't match the individual dominance of Garrett, one of the NFL's premier pass rushers.
So far, the Browns have signaled that they're unwilling to move Garrett, while Roseman opted against commenting on a potential deal amid reports that Philadelphia will aggressively move in order to prevent the Washington Commanders from adding him.
If and when Cleveland picks up the phone, however, it feels like a fair bet that they'll find Roseman on the other line.
