The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly eyeing a trade to acquire three-time Pro Bowler Jadeveon Clowney to bolster their defensive depth.

With the 2025 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, teams are making moves to gain draft capital, and the Eagles hold 8 valuable picks.

Philly Sports Network’s Mike Greger listed five trade targets for the Eagles, spotlighting Clowney as a key addition to strengthen their defensive line.

Clowney, a 32-year-old defensive end, stirred controversy among Eagles fans with a hit that concussed Carson Wentz during the 2020 playoffs.

Despite his reputation, Clowney notched 5.5 sacks in 2024 and 26 sacks over the past three seasons, proving he can still contribute effectively.

He’s in the final year of a two-year, $20 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, who are rebuilding and may look to shed his contract.

Greger highlighted Roseman’s past success with veteran signings like Ndamukong Suh in 2022, suggesting Clowney could add depth for another Super Bowl run.

Eagles fans on X are divided, with @EaglesNation saying, “Clowney’s 26 sacks in 3 years? Great for depth!” while @PhillyFanatic posted, “No way—his Wentz hit still stings!”
