Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles have been very aggressive this NFL offseason. From signing star running back Saquon Barkley to an impressive 2024 NFL Draft class, things have gone very well.
With the offseason close to over and training camp right around the corner, most teams have gone quiet on the roster move front. That being said, there are plenty of good players available in free agency and many players who could be available on the trade market for the right price.
Could the Philadelphia Eagles look to get involved in a potential trade prior to the start of training camp?
Philadelphia Eagles Trade For Intriguing Tight End In Trade Proposal
One potential position that the team could look to add more depth to is tight end.
Dallas Goedert is clearly the starter, but behind him there are question marks. C.J. Uzomah does not look to be the same player he was a couple years back and behind him there’s nothing of real value at the position.
That could lead the Philadelphia Eagles to consider pursuing a trade.
ClutchPoints has recently suggested that Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan could make sense for the Eagles. He would be able to compete for the backup job and has shown flashes of potential when given a chance.
During the 2023 season with the Texans, Jordan did not receive much of a role with the team. He caught 17 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
While the numbers aren’t huge, they’re impressive for the role that he played. Jordan is capable of making plays.
At 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, Jordan can move well and create mismatches against opposing linebackers. For a quarterback like Jalen Hurts, he could become a security blanket in two tight end sets.
Goedert has also dealt with a track record of injury issues. If he goes down, Jordan would be able to step in and be a serviceable starter for the Philadelphia Eagles.
All it would take to acquire Jordan would likely be a late-round pick. A sixth-round pick might even get a deal done. If that ends up being a legitimate price range, the Eagles should jump at the chance to get him.
Granted, this is all a hypothetical situation, but it’s an intriguing one. Philadelphia could use better tight end depth and Jordan would make perfect sense as a target if they choose to pursue one.
