3 Eagles Most Likely to Be Traded by the 2024 Deadline

The Philadelphia Eagles started the first month of the regular season on the wrong foot, going 2-2 in their first four games.

However, the Eagles turned things around in October and could look to make a move or two at the trade deadline. Philadelphia doesn’t have glaring needs on either side of the ball, but they could use another tight end or more defensive line depth off the edge.

If there’s a deal to be made, Eagles GM Howie Roseman will explore every avenue to help the roster for the present and future. Below, we’ll highlight three players who most likely won’t be with the Eagles after next month’s trade deadline.

1. James Bradberry, DB

The veteran defensive back hasn’t played this season as he’s nursing a leg injury he suffered in preseason. 

Bradberry was placed on injured reserve in August after he switched positions in training camp from cornerback to safety. The 31-year-old safety was viewed as a potential cut candidate this summer due to the Eagles’ depth in the secondary.

Bradberry could become a potential trade candidate if Philly activates him off injured reserve and opens up his practice window. However, the Eagles don’t have much time as the deadline is on Nov. 5.

It will be tough to convince a team to take a chance on Bradberry if they don’t see him activated off IR and playing in a game. The veteran defensive back struggled mightily in pass coverage in 2023, which forced the Eagles’ hand to address the secondary in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Bradberry recorded 54 combined tackles, 13 pass deflections, and an interception. However, he got picked on a lot in pass coverage, especially towards the end of the season. The veteran had a 114.3 pass rating allowed when targeted (career-worst) and allowed 11 receiving touchdowns. 

The 31-year-old Bradberry has a potential out in his contract after this season for 2025, which bodes well for the Eagles or if another team trades for him.
