The 1 trade Eagles must make in final week before 2026 NFL trade deadline

Matty Breisch of ClutchPoints argues that the Philadelphia Eagles should consider trading defensive tackle Jalen Carter to the Jacksonville Jaguars before the 2026 NFL trade deadline. Breisch suggests that while Carter possesses immense talent, his inconsistent performances make it an ideal time for Philadelphia to cash in on his high market value.

Breisch's proposed trade would send Carter and a 2027 fifth-round pick to Jacksonville in exchange for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., a 2027 second-round pick, a 2027 third-round pick, and a 2028 first-round pick. According to the writer, this move would allow Philadelphia to acquire future draft capital, ease contract congestion, and land a high-upside receiver.
