3 Eagles Most Likely to Be Traded by the 2024 Deadline
By Jovan Alford
2. Avonte Maddox, CB
Sticking with the Eagles’ secondary, Avonte Maddox could be a potential trade candidate ahead of the deadline.
Maddox’s playing time has decreased with the emergence of rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean. The Eagles cut Maddox earlier in the offseason, which cleared $1.95 million of cap space.
However, Philadelphia brought the veteran cornerback back, re-signing him to a one-year, $2 million deal. Heading into Week 8, Maddox had 12 combined tackles and four pass deflections across six games.
Through the first four games of the regular season, the veteran defensive back played at least 90 percent of defensive snaps in three games. However, in Weeks 6 and 7, Maddox saw his defensive snaps go down to 4 and 17 percent.
The Eagles already have an abundance of secondary depth on the active roster and practice squad so they could move Maddox by the deadline. Philadelphia might not get much in return for him, but a late Day 3 pick (fifth/sixth) might appeal to Roseman.
