3 Eagles on the Trade Block Heading Into Training Camp
By Randy Gurzi
The Philadelphia Eagles went from the No. 1 team in the entire NFL to the No. 2 team in the NFC East last year. They then went one-and-done in the postseason. Their free fall was frustrating and led to some changes in the offseason.
Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson and defensive coordinator Sean Desai were each fired as Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio took over. Their moves didn't stop there as they were active in free agency and moved up in the 2024 NFL Draft.
All their additions have a few veterans sitting on the roster bubble. For that reason, these three could be on the trading block heading into training camp.
3. Parris Campbell, Wide Receiver
After a standout career at Ohio State, Parris Campbell has yet to put it all together as an NFL wideout. He spent four years with the Indianapolis Colts but missed much of his first three seasons in the league.
Finally healthy in 2022, Campbell had 63 receptions for 623 yards and three touchdowns for the Colts. This led to him signing a free agency deal with the New York Giants but he took a step in the wrong direction with them. Campbell played in 12 games and had 20 receptions for 104 yards with no touchdowns. His average of 5.2 yards per reception was a career-low and didn't help his stock in free agency this year.
He got a shot with the Eagles, who needed help at wideout but with camp around the corner, he no longer feels like a lock to make the team.
Philadelphia added Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson on Day 3 of the draft. Both can play in the slot with Smith potentially possessing the skill to challenge Campbell as a rookie. If the veteran can't beat him out, the Eagles would surely love to listen to any offers.
