It would be hard to envision another time in Philadelphia Eagles history where they have been or ever will be as equipped to pull off an NFL mega-trade as they are right now.
The Eagles have an incredible 20 draft picks stockpiled over the 2025 and 2026 NFL drafts. They also have a roster full of Super Bowl winners and all of them could be trade bait for general manager Howie Roseman with the exception of just a handful* of players.
That’s why if there’s even a whiff of trade possibility in the air for Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt, the Eagles need to pounce.
Watt, the 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is entering the final season of the 4-year, $112 million contract extension he signed in September 2021 and stoked trade rumors with a cryptic post on his Instagram stories on April 9.
In the picture, Watt is walking off the field after a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders and flashing a peace sign to the fans.
” … The Steelers are 100% gonna pay Watt,” The Sporting News’ Jarrett Bailey wrote on his official X account. “Do I think they should? No. Trade him while he still has value and get some picks in return is my mentality. Love T.J. & what he’s meant to the team but they aren’t winning games of importance so may as well get something for him.”
