Philadelphia Eagles
New England acquired A.J. Brown from Philadelphia for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, adding an established No. 1 receiver to its offense. Brown had topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his four Eagles seasons, including 1,003 in 2025. The Patriots paid a major future asset, but the immediate roster upgrade supports a B+ while Philadelphia receives a C+ for choosing long-term draft value.
Los Angeles Rams acquired 2026 6th round pick (197th overall, CJ Daniels) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2026 6th round pick (207th overall, Micah Morris), 2026 7th round pick (251st overall, Uar Bernard) and 2026 7th round pick (252nd overall, Keyshawn James-Newby). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia acquired Jonathan Greenard and pick No. 244 from Minnesota for pick No. 98 and a 2027 third-round selection, then committed a major extension to the veteran edge defender. Greenard brought a Pro Bowl résumé but entered 2026 after an injury-limited 2025 season, and a pectoral issue later threatened his availability for the start of the season. The upside still supports a B for Philadelphia, while Minnesota's two third-round assets earn a C.
Philadelphia acquired Dontayvion Wicks from Green Bay for a 2026 fifth-round pick, No. 153 overall, and a 2027 sixth-round pick. Wicks arrived after producing 108 catches, 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns over three Packers seasons, giving the Eagles another proven receiving option. The price was modest enough to support a B for Philadelphia, while Green Bay receives a C+ for turning depth into two selections.
Atlanta acquired safety Sydney Brown plus picks No. 122 and No. 215 from Philadelphia, while the Eagles received Nos. 114 and 197. The earlier row duplicated Atlanta's return; the clean package is Brown, a fourth-round pick and a sixth-round pick for an earlier fourth and sixth. Atlanta gained a veteran while moving back eight spots in Round 4 and 18 spots in Round 6, supporting an Even Trade with C grades.
Carolina moved on from Andy Dalton, recouping a seventh-round pick in a routine bridge-quarterback transaction as the team transitioned to its 2026 roster configuration
Philadelphia acquired Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Baltimore for a 2026 sixth-rounder, but Alexander never played a snap for the Eagles after the trade and was placed on the Reserve/Retired list less than two weeks later. Baltimore still secured pick No. 211, later used on Ryan Eckley. Philadelphia later recovered money and cap credit, softening the damage, but the football return clearly favors the Ravens.
Minnesota sent Sam Howell and a 2026 sixth-round pick to Philadelphia for a 2026 fifth and a 2027 seventh. Howell did not record a regular-season pass for the Eagles in 2025, serving as quarterback depth rather than creating measurable game production. Minnesota's fifth became pick No. 163, Charles Demmings, while the Vikings also retained the future seventh. The stronger draft position gives Minnesota the early advantage.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired a 2027 6th round pick from Green Bay Packers for Darian Kinnard. The overall result favors Green Bay Packers over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jakorian Bennett from Las Vegas Raiders for Thomas Booker. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 2025 5th round pick (165th overall, Oronde Gadsden) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2025 6th round pick (181st overall, Kyle McCord) and 2025 6th round pick (209th overall, Antwaun Powell-Ryland). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Los Angeles Chargers.
Atlanta moved from pick No. 101 to No. 96 to select safety Xavier Watts, sending Philadelphia a 2026 fifth-rounder for the five-slot climb. Watts immediately started all 17 games and produced 91 tackles, 11 passes defensed, five interceptions and a fumble recovery. Philadelphia received two transferable draft assets and later moved both. The Falcons' exceptional rookie production from Watts makes the small move-up cost look highly efficient.
Denver Broncos acquired 2025 3rd round pick (101st overall, Sai'vion Jones) and 2025 4th round pick (134th overall, Quandarrius Robinson) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2025 4th round pick (111th overall, Ty Robinson), 2025 4th round pick (130th overall subsequently traded, Malachi Moore) and 2025 6th round pick (191st overall, Myles Hinton). Denver Broncos received the stronger recorded return, matching the Denver Broncos Win verdict.
Kansas City moved down one spot from No. 31 to No. 32 and added pick No. 164, selecting Josh Simmons at No. 32 while Philadelphia chose Jihaad Campbell at No. 31. Campbell started 10 games and played all 17 as a rookie; Simmons started all eight games he played. Both teams landed first-round contributors, but the Chiefs gained the extra fifth-round asset for almost no movement.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Dorian Thompson-Robinson and 2025 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Yahya Black) from Cleveland Browns for Kenny Pickett. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Washington traded Jahan Dotson and a 2025 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia for a 2025 third-rounder and two 2025 seventh-rounders. Dotson helped the Eagles' championship run but remained a low-volume receiver, posting 216 regular-season yards in 2024 and 262 in 2025. Washington converted a player outside its plans into substantially stronger draft capital, giving the Commanders the long-term value edge.
Philadelphia moved from No. 155 to No. 164 in the 2024 fifth round and sent Indianapolis an additional sixth-round pick, then selected linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. The Colts used their two choices on Jaylin Simpson and Micah Abraham. Trotter has appeared in every regular-season game through two years and contributed on defense and special teams, giving Philadelphia the clearest realized value.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2024 6th round pick (185th overall, Johnny Wilson) and 2024 6th round pick (190th overall, Dylan McMahon) from New York Jets for 2024 5th round pick (171st overall, Jordan Travis). The overall result favors New York Jets over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2024 3rd round pick (94th overall, Jalyx Hunt) and 2024 4th round pick (132nd overall subsequently traded) from San Francisco 49ers for 2024 3rd round pick (86th overall, Dominick Puni).
Philadelphia moved from No. 50 to No. 40 by sending Washington picks No. 50, 53 and 161 for Nos. 40, 78 and 152. The Eagles selected Cooper DeJean, who became a Super Bowl playmaker and first-team All-Pro, while Washington landed Mike Sainristil at No. 50 plus Ben Sinnott and Dominique Hampton. Both clubs created premium young talent, making an even A- outcome more accurate than a one-sided verdict.
Pittsburgh sent Kenny Pickett and pick No. 120 to Philadelphia for No. 98 and two 2025 seventh-rounders. The Steelers used No. 98 on Payton Wilson, who has become a productive linebacker with 181 career tackles and two interceptions through 2025. Pickett served as Jalen Hurts’ backup on a Super Bowl champion and later brought Philadelphia Dorian Thompson-Robinson plus a fifth-round pick. Pittsburgh still leads, but the Eagles’ return deserves more credit.
Atlanta Falcons acquired Kentavius Street and a conditional 2025 7th round pick (not conveyed) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2025 7th round pick (229th overall subsequently traded, Donte Kent).
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Kevin Byard from Tennessee Titans for Terrell Edmunds, 2024 5th round pick (146th overall, Jarvis Brownlee) and 2024 6th round pick (182nd overall, Jha'Quan Jackson). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Denver Broncos acquired 2025 6th round pick (208th overall subsequently traded, Jimmy Horn) from Philadelphia Eagles for Albert Okwuegbunam; 2025 7th round pick (236th overall subsequently traded, LeQuint Allen). The stronger recorded return sits with Denver Broncos, matching the Denver Broncos Win verdict.
Philadelphia sent Houston a 2024 third-round pick for No. 105 in the 2023 draft and selected cornerback Kelee Ringo. Ringo played all 51 regular-season games over his first three seasons with eight starts, an interception and five passes defensed. Houston preserved the higher future draft asset, which became pick No. 86 before another trade. The direct exchange produced legitimate value for both sides and remains essentially even.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired D'Andre Swift and 2023 7th round pick (249th overall, Moro Ojomo) from Detroit Lions for 2023 7th round pick (219th overall, Antoine Green) and 2025 4th round pick (134th overall subsequently traded, Quandarrius Robinson). The overall result favors Detroit Lions over Philadelphia Eagles.
Tampa Bay received the 2023 sixth-round pick used on Trey Palmer, while Philadelphia received a 2024 fifth-round selection that was later traded before Dominique Hampton was chosen by another holder. Because the downstream player is not a direct Eagles return and the original exchange involved modest capital, the record remains an Even Trade.
Philadelphia sent pick No. 62 to Houston for Nos. 65, 188 and 230. Houston selected center Juice Scruggs, who made 20 starts over his first three seasons. Philadelphia used No. 65 on Tyler Steen and No. 188 on Tanner McKee; Steen became a 17-game starter in 2025 and McKee provided credible backup-quarterback play. Both teams found useful players, but Philadelphia's two enduring pieces create the stronger aggregate return.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2023 3rd round pick (66th overall, Sydney Brown) from Arizona Cardinals for 2023 3rd round pick (94th overall, Michael Wilson) and 2024 5th round pick (156th overall subsequently traded, Jamari Thrash). The overall result favors Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia moved from No. 10 to No. 9 and selected Jalen Carter, while Chicago received the No. 10 pick used on Darnell Wright plus the 2024 fourth-round pick used on Tory Taylor. Carter became a disruptive interior cornerstone for the Eagles, and Wright developed into a high-end right tackle for the Bears. Both teams converted a one-slot draft move into premium long-term value.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Robert Quinn from Chicago Bears for 2023 4th round pick (133rd overall, Tyler Scott). The overall result favors Chicago Bears over Philadelphia Eagles.
Minnesota acquired Jalen Reagor from Philadelphia for a 2023 seventh-round pick and a conditional 2024 fourth that became a fifth. Reagor caught only eight passes for 104 yards in his lone Vikings season and was waived the following summer. Philadelphia did not keep the two picks through their final selections, but converting a player buried on the depth chart into future draft capital was still useful. The Eagles won by selling before Reagor's value disappeared.
Philadelphia acquired C.J. Gardner-Johnson and a seventh-round pick for fifth- and sixth-round selections. Gardner-Johnson tied for the league lead with six interceptions despite missing time and helped the Eagles reach Super Bowl LVII. New Orleans recovered limited draft value while surrendering a versatile defender at the start of his prime.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2024 6th round pick (182nd overall subsequently traded, Jha'Quan Jackson) from Tennessee Titans for Ugo Amadi and 2024 7th round pick (242nd overall, James Williams). The overall result favors Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans over Philadelphia Eagles.
Jacksonville Jaguars acquired 2022 5th round pick (154th overall, Snoop Conner) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2022 6th round pick (188th overall subsequently traded, Malcolm Rodriguez) and 2022 6th round pick (198th overall, Grant Calcaterra). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia traded picks 188 and 237 to Detroit to move up seven spots to No. 181 for linebacker Kyron Johnson. Detroit stayed in the sixth round and selected Malcolm Rodriguez at No. 188, then used No. 237 on Chase Lucas. Rodriguez quickly became a useful Lions linebacker and special-teams contributor, while Johnson had a limited Eagles tenure. Detroit gained the best player while also adding an extra selection.
Philadelphia sent picks 15, 124, 162 and 166 to Houston to move up two spots for Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis at No. 13. Houston selected guard Kenyon Green at No. 15 and moved the later picks in additional draft-day deals. Davis developed into a durable starting piece on Philadelphia's defensive front, while Green's early career was less stable, giving the Eagles the stronger directly attributable return.
Philadelphia acquired A.J. Brown for the first-round pick used on Treylon Burks and a third-round pick. Brown immediately became the Eagles' premier receiver, elevated Jalen Hurts and the passing game, and played a central role in a championship-caliber era. Tennessee failed to replace his production, making this one of the defining modern receiver trades.
New Orleans acquired two 2022 first-round slots and used one on Trevor Penning, while Philadelphia received a future first, a future second, and additional selections. The 2023 first became the No. 10 pick that Philadelphia used in the move for Jalen Carter. The Eagles converted patience into premium, championship-level roster value.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2022 6th round pick (206th overall subsequently traded, Matt Henningsen) from New York Jets for Joe Flacco. The overall result favors New York Jets over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Tay Gowan and 2022 5th round pick (166th overall subsequently traded, Tycen Anderson) from Arizona Cardinals for Zach Ertz. The overall result favors Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals over Philadelphia Eagles.
Indianapolis acquired offensive lineman Matt Pryor and a 2022 seventh-round pick from Philadelphia for a 2022 sixth-round pick. Pryor immediately supplied useful, inexpensive depth, appearing in all 17 games with five starts in 2021 before earning another Colts contract. Philadelphia recovered a modest draft asset, but Indianapolis received the more substantial on-field return from a small late-round pick downgrade.
Philadelphia acquired quarterback Gardner Minshew from Jacksonville for a conditional 2022 sixth-round pick. The condition did not elevate the selection, and Jacksonville ultimately held pick No. 197, which it used on defensive back Gregory Junior. The recorded outcome favors the Even Trade side only to the degree reflected by the grades, with the long-term result driven by what the acquired players and picks actually produced.
Jacksonville Jaguars acquired Jameson Houston and 2023 6th round pick (208th overall, Erick Hallett) from Philadelphia Eagles for Josiah Scott. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Washington sent a 2022 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia for 2021 picks No. 225 and No. 240. Washington selected long snapper Camaron Cheeseman and edge defender William Bradley-King. Philadelphia later moved the 2022 fifth-rounder during another sequence of draft-day transactions. The recorded outcome favors the Washington Football Team side only to the degree reflected by the grades, with the long-term result driven by what the acquired players and picks actually produced.
Carolina moved from No. 73 to No. 70 in the 2021 draft and selected offensive lineman Brady Christensen, sending Philadelphia pick 191 as part of the swap. Christensen became a versatile multi-year Panthers starter, so Carolina received legitimate value. Philadelphia selected defensive tackle Milton Williams at 73 and Tarron Jackson at 191; Williams later became a major championship contributor, giving the Eagles the stronger overall return.
Philadelphia moved from No. 12 to No. 10 and drafted DeVonta Smith, while Dallas moved back and selected Micah Parsons before adding Chauncey Golston with the extra third-round pick. Parsons became an elite defensive force, giving Dallas the stronger individual value. Smith still became a championship-level receiver, making Philadelphia's former D grade far too harsh.
Miami moved from No. 12 to No. 6 and selected Jaylen Waddle, who immediately became a premier offensive weapon. Philadelphia moved down, added a future first-round pick, and retained enough flexibility to move back up for DeVonta Smith before using the broader asset chain in later roster-building moves. Both teams converted the deal into cornerstone value.
The Carson Wentz trade became a costly one-year quarterback swing for Indianapolis. The Colts sent a third-round pick and a conditional first-round pick to Philadelphia, hoping Wentz could stabilize a playoff-ready roster. Instead, the season ended with a collapse, Wentz was gone after one year, and the Eagles escaped a bad contract while gaining premium draft value. It remains a priority indexing page because the Wentz-Colts experiment is still a clean modern quarterback-trade search.
Dallas sent Philadelphia the 164th pick and a 2021 fifth-rounder to move up to No. 146 for center Tyler Biadasz. Biadasz became a multi-year starter, started 49 games for the Cowboys, and earned a Pro Bowl selection after the 2022 season. Philadelphia retained useful draft flexibility and moved the returned selections again, but Dallas secured a dependable starting center at a clear position of need.
Miami moved from No. 173 to No. 164 by sending Philadelphia an additional seventh-round pick at No. 227, then selected edge rusher Curtis Weaver. Weaver was waived before playing a regular-season game for the Dolphins. Philadelphia immediately repackaged picks 173 and 227 to Chicago for three later choices, helping produce multiple roster players. The Eagles therefore extracted more usable value from the exchange.
Chicago moved up to No. 173 and selected Darnell Mooney, also receiving pick No. 227, while Philadelphia collected three later selections that became Shaun Bradley, Quez Watkins and Casey Toohill. Mooney quickly became a starting receiver and posted a 1,000-yard season in 2021. Philadelphia found role players, but none matched Mooney's sustained offensive production, leaving the Bears with the stronger return.
San Francisco traded Marquise Goodwin and a seventh-round pick to Philadelphia for the sixth-round pick used on Charlie Woerner. The 49ers received the more useful realized value in a small exchange.
Philadelphia acquired Darius Slay for third- and fifth-round picks. Slay became a multi-year No. 1 cornerback, earned additional Pro Bowl recognition, and helped lead a defense that reached the Super Bowl. Detroit received pick value that did not develop into comparable impact, making the modest acquisition cost especially favorable for the Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Genard Avery from Cleveland Browns for 2021 4th round pick (110th overall, James Hudson). The overall result favors Cleveland Browns over Philadelphia Eagles.
Atlanta Falcons acquired Johnathan Cyprien; 2020 7th round pick (228th overall, Sterling Hofrichter) from Philadelphia Eagles for Duke Riley; 2020 6th round pick (190th overall subsequently traded, Charlie Woerner). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia acquired Rudy Ford for Bruce Hector. Ford provided the more useful NFL return, giving the Eagles the edge in a small player-for-player move.
Buffalo Bills acquired Ryan Bates from Philadelphia Eagles for Eli Harold. Buffalo Bills received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Buffalo Bills Win verdict.
Dallas Cowboys acquired 2019 5th round pick (158th overall, Michael Jackson) and 2019 7th round pick (218th overall, Mike Weber) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2019 5th round pick (167th overall, Clayton Thorson) and 2019 7th round pick (246th overall subsequently traded, Javon Patterson). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Indianapolis Colts traded Hassan Ridgeway to Philadelphia for 2019 seventh-round pick Javon Patterson. Hindsight favors Philadelphia a slight edge. Ridgeway became usable defensive-line depth, while the pick gave Indianapolis minimal return.
New England Patriots acquired 2019 5th round pick (163rd overall, Jake Bailey) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2019 5th round pick (167th overall, Clayton Thorson) and 2019 7th round pick (246th overall subsequently traded, Javon Patterson). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2019 1st round pick (22nd overall, Andre Dillard) from Baltimore Ravens for 2019 1st round pick (25th overall, Marquise Brown), 2019 4th round pick (127th overall, Iman Marshall) and 2019 6th round pick (197th overall, Trace McSorley). The overall result favors Baltimore Ravens over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jordan Howard from Chicago Bears for 2020 6th round pick (200th overall subsequently traded, Quez Watkins). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Philadelphia sent veteran defensive end Michael Bennett and a 2020 seventh-round pick to New England for a 2020 fifth-round selection. Bennett joined the Patriots for the first half of 2019, while the Eagles eventually used the fifth-rounder on wide receiver John Hightower. The realized returns remain close enough that neither club separates from an Even Trade verdict.
Philadelphia reacquired DeSean Jackson and a 2020 seventh-round pick for a sixth-round selection. Jackson delivered explosive moments, including a huge opening game in 2019, but injuries limited his availability during both seasons of the reunion. Tampa Bay used the pick on Scotty Miller, who became a low-cost contributor on a championship team, giving the Buccaneers the slightly stronger realized return.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Golden Tate from Detroit Lions for 2019 3rd round pick (88th overall subsequently traded, Cody Barton). The overall result favors Detroit Lions over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Deiondre' Hall from Chicago Bears for 2019 7th round pick (222nd overall, Kerrith Whyte). The overall result favors Chicago Bears over Philadelphia Eagles.
New England sent the 233rd pick in the 2018 draft to Philadelphia for pick No. 250 and a 2019 seventh-rounder. The Patriots received two late lottery tickets and used the 2018 choice on Ryan Izzo, but the Eagles used No. 233 on Jordan Mailata. Mailata's development into a long-term starting left tackle creates an enormous hindsight gap in Philadelphia's favor.
Philadelphia sent picks No. 52 and No. 169 to Indianapolis to move up three spots to No. 49 and select tight end Dallas Goedert. Philadelphia used No. 49 on Dallas Goedert, who developed into a long-term starting tight end and major postseason contributor. Indianapolis received Kemoko Turay and Jordan Wilkins; both supplied useful stretches, but neither approached Goedert's sustained impact. The Eagles paid a fifth-round pick to move only three spots, and the player they targeted justified the premium.
Baltimore's trade up for Lamar Jackson gave the Ravens a two-time MVP without paying a massive draft price. Philadelphia received useful value that became real contributors, but Baltimore landed the rare quarterback who changed the shape of the franchise. The Ravens won because Jackson became a unique offensive centerpiece. Philadelphia made a defensible pick-value move, but Baltimore acquired the player who remade its offense.
Carolina acquired veteran receiver Torrey Smith from Philadelphia for cornerback Daryl Worley in March 2018. Smith played 11 games for the Panthers that season, catching 17 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns while providing veteran depth. Philadelphia released Worley in April after an arrest, before he played a regular-season snap for the Eagles. Even modest production made Carolina the clear winner of the direct exchange.
Philadelphia acquired Jay Ajayi for a fourth-round pick during the 2017 championship season. Ajayi immediately strengthened the backfield, produced important playoff carries, and helped the Eagles win their first Super Bowl. Miami used the pick on Kalen Ballage, whose limited production never matched the direct championship value Philadelphia received.
Philadelphia acquired 2019 7th round pick (draft pick voluntarily returned by Eagles after Dorenbos failed his physical due to a pre-existing condition) from New Orleans Saints for Jon Dorenbos.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Dexter McDougle from New York Jets for Terrence Brooks. The overall result favors New York Jets over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia acquired Ronald Darby for Jordan Matthews and a 2018 third-round pick that Buffalo used on Harrison Phillips. Darby returned from an early ankle injury to start seven regular-season games and all three postseason games for the Super Bowl LII champions. Phillips became a useful Bills defensive tackle, while Matthews lasted only one season in Buffalo. The championship contribution gives Philadelphia the stronger result.
Denver acquired Allen Barbre for a future seventh-round pick, but the short-term veteran return did not create much value. Philadelphia recovered draft capital for a player it could move.
Miami received picks No. 164 and No. 194 from Philadelphia in the 2017 draft, using them on Isaac Asiata and Vincent Taylor. The Eagles received No. 166 and No. 184, selecting Shelton Gibson and Nathan Gerry. Taylor became a useful rotational defensive tackle for Miami, but Gerry developed into a multi-year linebacker starter in Philadelphia. The Eagles' side produced the slightly stronger combined team-specific return.
Philadelphia moved from No. 139 to No. 132 in the 2017 fourth round and selected running back Donnel Pumphrey, sending Minnesota No. 139 and No. 230. Pumphrey never appeared in a regular-season game for the Eagles. Minnesota kept trading those selections and eventually turned the chain into several players, including defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo, who became a productive Vikings rotational pass rusher and 15-game starter in 2020.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2017 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Isaac Asiata) and 2017 6th round pick (214th overall, Elijah Qualls) from Tennessee Titans for 2017 5th round pick (155th overall, Jayon Brown). The overall result favors Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia moved Eric Rowe after one season and recovered a 2018 fourth-round pick for a cornerback who had fallen down the new coaching staff's depth chart. The return was respectable for a player whose Eagles role had evaporated. Rowe's immediate usefulness in New England, though, including seven regular-season starts during a Super Bowl championship season, makes the Patriots the better side in hindsight.
Minnesota acquired Sam Bradford after Teddy Bridgewater's catastrophic knee injury, sending Philadelphia a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick. Bradford delivered a strong 2016 season but could not provide durable long-term value. The Eagles used the picks on Derek Barnett and Josh Sweat, two important defenders in the franchise's championship era.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Dorial Green-Beckham from Tennessee Titans for Dennis Kelly. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Minnesota Vikings come out ahead in this trade. The final grade profile (Minnesota Vikings B-, Philadelphia Eagles C) supports the existing verdict and gives the winning side the cleaner value result.
Philadelphia paid a major multi-year package to move from No. 8 to No. 2 for Carson Wentz. Wentz produced an MVP-caliber 2017 season that helped secure home-field advantage for the Eagles' first Super Bowl title, then Philadelphia later recovered premium value in trading him. Cleveland collected extensive draft capital, but the conversion produced mixed long-term results.
Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles land in even-trade territory. The final grade profile (Denver Broncos C, Philadelphia Eagles C) shows useful value on both sides without enough separation for a clear winner.
Philadelphia sent Byron Maxwell, Kiko Alonso, and the No. 13 pick to Miami for the No. 8 pick. Miami selected Laremy Tunsil, who became an elite tackle and later produced another enormous trade return. Philadelphia escaped two unwanted contracts and used No. 8 as the foundation of its move for Carson Wentz. Both franchises achieved major strategic value.
Philadelphia escaped a disastrous one-year fit with DeMarco Murray and improved its position in the fourth round, sending Murray and pick No. 113 to Tennessee for No. 100. The Eagles later folded No. 100 into the Carson Wentz trade, so the deal had strategic value. Still, Murray immediately rebounded in Tennessee, making the Titans the stronger winner on realized football value.
Philadelphia traded quarterback Matt Barkley to Arizona in September 2015 for a conditional 2016 seventh-round pick that could have improved to a sixth. The condition did not escalate, and the Eagles ultimately received pick No. 251, selecting linebacker Joe Walker. Barkley never became an Arizona starter, while Walker played 12 games with three starts for Philadelphia in 2017. The modest result still favors the Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles come out ahead in this trade. The final grade profile (Pittsburgh Steelers C, Philadelphia Eagles B+) supports the existing verdict and gives the winning side the cleaner value result.
Detroit traded a 2016 third-round pick to Philadelphia to move into the 2015 fourth round for defensive tackle Gabe Wright at No. 113. The future pick became No. 77, and Philadelphia later included it in the massive package sent to Cleveland to move up for Carson Wentz. Wright had a short stay in Detroit. The Eagles therefore turned a fourth-round exit into materially greater strategic value.
Miami moved down five spots in the second round and turned the exchange into Jordan Phillips, Bobby McCain and Tony Lippett. Phillips became a productive NFL defensive tackle, while McCain developed into a multi-year Dolphins starter in the secondary. Philadelphia landed Eric Rowe and JaCorey Shepherd, but Rowe lasted only one season with the Eagles before another trade. Miami extracted more useful roster value from the deal.
Buffalo acquired LeSean McCoy for Kiko Alonso and received the best direct player in the exchange. McCoy spent four seasons with the Bills, topped 1,000 rushing yards twice and made multiple Pro Bowls. Philadelphia got one season from Alonso before packaging him with Byron Maxwell and a first-round pick to move from No. 13 to No. 8 in 2016. That later draft maneuver salvaged meaningful value, but Buffalo still won the original swap.
The quarterback swap produced more long-term value than either starter's 2015 season suggests. Philadelphia got a full season from Sam Bradford, then traded him to Minnesota in 2016 for a first-round pick and additional draft value. St. Louis received Nick Foles, Andrew Donnal and a 2016 second-rounder; Foles failed, but that second-round pick became a core piece of the package used to move to No. 1 for Jared Goff. Both teams extracted major downstream value.
Buffalo acquired Bryce Brown and pick No. 237, which became tackle Seantrel Henderson, while Philadelphia received No. 224, used on Beau Allen, plus a conditional future fourth-rounder. Henderson started 27 games for Buffalo and gave the Bills real value, so this was not a bad return. Philadelphia still comes out ahead because Allen became a useful rotation defender and the Eagles also secured another meaningful draft asset.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 2014 2nd round pick (50th overall, Jeremiah Attaochu) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2014 2nd round pick (42nd overall, Jordan Matthews). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia moved down from No. 22 to No. 26 in the 2014 first round and added third-round value, while Cleveland moved up for Johnny Manziel. Neither side turned the exchange into the expected first-round value. This grades as even.
Philadelphia acquired 2014 4th round pick (101st overall, Jaylen Watkins) and 2014 5th round pick (141st overall, Taylor Hart) from Houston Texans for 2014 3rd round pick (83rd overall, Louis Nix).
Tennessee Titans acquired undisclosed consideration from Philadelphia Eagles for 2014 2nd round pick (42nd overall, Jordan Matthews). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Tennessee Titans.
Philadelphia acquired Darren Sproles for a fifth-round pick and received six seasons of multidimensional value. Sproles became an elite punt returner for the Eagles, contributed as a runner and receiver, and earned three Pro Bowl selections during his Philadelphia tenure. New Orleans used pick No. 169 on linebacker Ronald Powell, whose Saints career lasted only one season. The return gap makes this a clear Eagles win.
Philadelphia sent defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga and a 2014 sixth-round pick to New England for a 2014 fifth-rounder at the trade deadline. Sopoaga played only six regular-season games for the Patriots and was released the following March. The Eagles then used acquired pick No. 169 to trade for Darren Sproles, who became a Pro Bowl returner and major offensive weapon in Philadelphia. That downstream conversion creates a decisive Eagles win.
Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Felix Jones from Philadelphia Eagles for Adrian Robinson. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jeff Maehl from Houston Texans for Nate Menkin. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Jacksonville Jaguars acquired 2013 4th round pick (101st overall, Ace Sanders) and 2013 7th round pick (210th overall, Demetrius McCray) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2013 4th round pick (98th overall, Matt Barkley). Jacksonville Jaguars received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Jacksonville Jaguars Win verdict.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Emmanuel Acho from Cleveland Browns for Dion Lewis. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Indianapolis and Philadelphia made a straight player-for-player swap in March 2013, with fullback Stanley Havili going to the Colts and defensive lineman Clifton Geathers joining the Eagles. Each filled a one-season role. Havili appeared in 13 games with eight starts and added 128 receiving yards for Indianapolis, while Geathers played all 16 games as a reserve for Philadelphia. Neither became a long-term piece, making the exchange essentially even.
Tampa Bay acquired 2013 6th round pick (196th overall subsequently t The result stays even because the known return does not separate enough to justify a winner.
Detroit Lions acquired Ronnie Brown from Philadelphia Eagles for Jerome Harrison (Trade voided due to failed physical). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired David Sims and 2013 7th round pick (212th overall, Joe Kruger) from Cleveland Browns for 2013 6th round pick (173rd overall subsequently traded, Vinston Painter). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Indianapolis acquired linebackers Moise Fokou and Greg Lloyd from Philadelphia for cornerback Kevin Thomas and a conditional 2013 seventh-round pick that was not conveyed. Fokou became the only side of the exchange to provide meaningful regular-season value for his new club, appearing throughout the Colts' 2012 season. Thomas was waived by Philadelphia before the regular season, and the conditional pick never materialized.
Indianapolis and Philadelphia swapped fringe defensive prospects at the start of 2012 training camp, with cornerback D.J. Johnson going to the Colts and defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu going to the Eagles. Johnson was waived by Indianapolis before the regular season and moved to the practice squad. Ogbu was released by Philadelphia at final cuts. Because neither player produced meaningful regular-season value for his new team, the trade is a straightforward even result.
Green Bay moved up eight spots for defensive tackle Jerel Worthy, sending Philadelphia picks No. 59 and No. 123. The Eagles used those selections on Vinny Curry and Brandon Boykin. Curry became a long-term Philadelphia defensive lineman and later contributed to the franchise's Super Bowl LII championship, while Boykin supplied useful nickel-corner play. Worthy's Packers tenure was shortened by injuries, leaving Philadelphia with the stronger realized return.
Atlanta acquired four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel from Philadelphia for seventh-round pick No. 229. Samuel started 15 games in 2012, intercepted five passes and helped the Falcons reach the NFC Championship Game, then returned for a second season. Philadelphia used the pick on Bryce Brown, who flashed as a rookie and provided useful backfield depth. Brown had value, but Atlanta obtained an established impact starter for a minimal price.
Philadelphia moved from No. 15 to No. 12 and selected Fletcher Cox, sending Seattle a fourth- and sixth-rounder with the first-round swap. Cox became a franchise-defining defensive tackle, earning six Pro Bowls, first-team All-Pro recognition and a central role on the Super Bowl LII champions. Seattle still did well: Bruce Irvin became a four-year starter and Jeremy Lane a useful championship-era cornerback. Both returns were strong, but Cox's decade-plus impact gives Philadelphia the win.
Philadelphia acquired veteran linebacker DeMeco Ryans and pick No. 88, which became Nick Foles, while Houston received picks No. 76 and No. 99, becoming Brandon Brooks and Ben Jones. The hindsight returns are unusually strong on both sides. Ryans stabilized the Eagles' defense and Foles became a Super Bowl MVP later in his Philadelphia career; Brooks and Jones developed into high-level, long-lasting NFL offensive linemen.
Indianapolis acquired tackle Winston Justice and pick No. 187 for pick No. 172. Justice became a regular Colts starter in 2012, while Indianapolis later sent No. 187 to the Jets in the Drew Stanton trade. Philadelphia also extracted downstream value: No. 172 became part of the package used to move from No. 15 to No. 12 for Fletcher Cox. Both teams turned a small exchange into useful value.
Denver Broncos received Brodrick Bunkley. Philadelphia Eagles received 2013 6th round pick (196th overall subsequently traded, Jeff Baca). The final review favors Denver Broncos because that return produced stronger practical football value.
Cleveland Browns acquired Brodrick Bunkley (voided due to failed physical) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2012 5th round pick. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia traded Kevin Kolb to Arizona for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second-round pick. Rodgers-Cromartie started for two Eagles seasons, and Philadelphia later turned the No. 51 pick into No. 59 and No. 123, selecting Vinny Curry and Brandon Boykin. Kolb made only 14 starts for Arizona across two injury-affected seasons, leaving the Eagles with the substantially stronger return.
New York sent Philadelphia picks No. 161 and No. 194 for No. 153 and No. 227, then used the higher selection on Jeremy Kerley. Kerley became a dependable slot receiver and returner, producing 182 catches and 2,225 receiving yards during his first five Jets seasons. Philadelphia's Julian Vandervelde was a reserve lineman, while the other acquired pick was immediately moved again.
Philadelphia and New England swapped adjacent sixth-round picks, with the Eagles moving from No. 194 to No. 193 for linebacker Brian Rolle. Rolle immediately started 13 games as a rookie and recorded 58 tackles across two Philadelphia seasons. Markell Carter, selected one spot later by New England, never appeared in a regular-season NFL game, giving the Eagles a modest but clear win.
Tampa Bay sent Philadelphia the 116th pick in 2011 and a 2012 fourth-rounder to move up 12 spots for tight end Luke Stocker. Stocker became a useful blocking tight end and spent seven seasons with the Buccaneers, but never developed into a major receiving weapon. Philadelphia got Casey Matthews at 116 and later used the 2012 fourth as part of the deal for linebacker DeMeco Ryans. The Eagles created the stronger overall return.
Philadelphia moved down five spots in the third round and received an extra sixth-round choice, then used that bonus pick on Jason Kelce. Kelce started all 193 games of his Eagles career, made seven Pro Bowls, earned six first-team All-Pro selections and won a Super Bowl. Baltimore got tackle Jah Reid, making this one of the clearest draft-day trade wins in Eagles history.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jerome Harrison from Cleveland Browns for Mike Bell. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Antwan Barnes from Baltimore Ravens for 2011 7th round pick (225th overall, Anthony Allen). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
New England acquired linebacker Tracy White and Philadelphia's 2012 seventh-round pick for a 2012 sixth-rounder. White became a core special-teams contributor, played every game in 2010 and 2011, and even started Super Bowl XLVI. The Patriots also reused the seventh-round choice in the earlier Randy Moss trade chain, while Philadelphia's No. 200 selection, Brandon Washington, never played a regular-season game for the Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Reggie Wells from Arizona Cardinals for 2011 6th round pick (184th overall, David Carter). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jorrick Calvin from Arizona Cardinals for Charles Scott. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Denver Broncos received Joe Mays. Philadelphia Eagles received J.J. Arrington and 2012 6th round pick (194th overall, Marvin McNutt) (conditional pick for Arrington not making roster). The final review favors Denver Broncos because that return produced stronger practical football value.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 2010 5th round pick (146th overall, Cam Thomas) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2010 5th round pick (159th overall, Riley Cooper) and 2011 5th round pick (149th overall, Dion Lewis). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia traded a future sixth-round pick to Detroit for the 220th choice in 2010 and selected linebacker Jamar Chaney. Chaney became an immediate contributor, starting 23 games for the Eagles across three seasons and recording 92 tackles with three interceptions in 2011. Detroit later used the future pick in another transaction, but Philadelphia received the stronger direct football value from the original exchange.
Dallas sent Philadelphia picks 59 and 125 to move four spots and select linebacker Sean Lee at No. 55. Lee's injury history followed him into the NFL, but when healthy he became one of the Cowboys' best defenders, earning two Pro Bowls and first-team All-Pro honors. Philadelphia turned No. 59 into additional selections and used No. 125 on Clay Harbor, yet none of the resulting Eagles matched Lee's sustained impact. Dallas wins clearly.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2010 3rd round pick (71st overall subsequently traded, Morgan Burnett), 2010 5th round pick (134th overall, Ricky Sapp) and 2010 5th round pick (146th overall subsequently traded, Cam Thomas) from Cleveland Browns for 2010 2nd round pick (59th overall, Montario Hardesty). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Green Bay traded picks No. 86 and No. 122 to Philadelphia for No. 71 and selected safety Morgan Burnett. Burnett became a long-term Packers starter, played 121 career games, intercepted 10 passes and was part of Green Bay’s Super Bowl XLV championship season. Philadelphia selected Daniel Te’o-Nesheim and Mike Kafka, neither of whom developed into a meaningful Eagles contributor. Green Bay decisively won the move-up.
Denver Broncos received 2010 1st round pick (24th overall subsequently traded, Dez Bryant), 2010 3rd round pick (70th overall subsequently traded, Ed Dickson) and 2010 3rd round pick (87th overall, Eric Decker). Philadelphia Eagles received 2010 1st round pick (13th overall, Brandon Graham). The final review favors Philadelphia Eagles because that return produced stronger practical football value.
Philadelphia traded Donovan McNabb within the division for pick No. 37 in 2010 and a conditional 2011 selection that became No. 104. The Eagles drafted safety Nate Allen with the second-rounder and later traded No. 104 for Casey Matthews plus a 2012 fourth-round pick. McNabb started only 13 games for Washington before the relationship collapsed. Philadelphia extracted multiple years of value from a quarterback it was ready to replace.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Alex Hall, 2010 4th round pick (105th overall, Trevard Lindley) and 2010 5th round pick (137th overall subsequently traded, Perrish Cox) from Cleveland Browns for Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Philadelphia acquired Darryl Tapp from Seattle Seahawks for Chris Clemons and 2010 4th round pick (127th overall, E.J. Wilson).
Seattle acquired Chris Clemons and a 2010 fourth-round pick from Philadelphia for Darryl Tapp on March 16, 2010. Clemons became a premier Seahawks pass rusher, posting three straight 11-sack seasons and remaining part of the Super Bowl XLVIII roster. Philadelphia received three seasons of rotational line play from Tapp. The fourth-round pick added another asset, making Seattle's return substantially stronger.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Reggie Brown from Philadelphia Eagles for 2011 6th round pick (184th overall; traded to Arizona for G Reggie Wells; Arizona later selected David Carter at 184). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles
Los Angeles Rams acquired Brandon Gibson and 2009 3rd round pick from Philadelphia Eagles for Will Witherspoon. The overall result favors Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams over Los Angeles Rams.
Indianapolis sent a future sixth-round pick to Philadelphia for No. 222 in 2009 and selected Pat McAfee. The seventh-rounder became one of the NFL's premier specialists, earning multiple Pro Bowls and first-team All-Pro recognition during eight Colts seasons. Philadelphia's 2010 sixth-round return became Charles Scott, who did not play a regular-season game for the Eagles, making this a massive Indianapolis win.
New Orleans traded a 2009 seventh-round pick and a 2010 fifth-rounder to Philadelphia for No. 164 and selected punter Thomas Morstead. Morstead spent 12 seasons with the Saints, earned Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors, and became a central special-teams figure on the Super Bowl XLIV champion. Philadelphia retained useful draft capital, but nothing from the return approached Morstead's longevity and franchise impact.
Philadelphia acquired 2009 3rd round pick (91st overall subsequently traded, Deon Butler) and 2009 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Thomas Morstead) from New York Giants for 2009 3rd round pick (85th overall, Ramses Barden).
Philadelphia acquired cornerback Ellis Hobbs from New England for picks No. 137 and No. 141. Hobbs started eight games in 2009, returned a kickoff for a touchdown and remained part of the Eagles secondary until a neck injury ended his 2010 season. New England immediately flipped the two fifth-rounders to Baltimore for Rich Ohrnberger and Jake Ingram. The Patriots found some depth, but Hobbs provided the stronger direct contribution.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2009 1st round pick (19th overall, Jeremy Maclin) from Cleveland Browns for 2009 1st round pick (21st overall, Alex Mack) and 2009 6th round pick (195th overall, James Davis). The overall result favors Cleveland Browns over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia acquired Jason Peters from Buffalo for a 2009 first, a 2009 fourth and a conditional 2010 sixth that ultimately conveyed. Peters became one of the defining left tackles of his generation and made seven Pro Bowls as an Eagle. Buffalo used the first-rounder on Eric Wood, a nine-year starting center and Pro Bowler, giving the Bills substantial value even though Philadelphia landed the transcendent player.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2009 5th round pick (153rd overall, Cornelius Ingram) from New York Jets for Lito Sheppard. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
New York Giants acquired 2009 3rd round pick (85th overall, Ramses Barden) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2009 3rd round pick (91st overall subsequently traded, Deon Butler) and 2009 5th round pick (164th overall subsequently traded, Thomas Morstead). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Indianapolis Colts acquired Conditional 2009 draft pick (did not convey) from Philadelphia Eagles for Luke Lawton. The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Indianapolis Colts.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2009 5th round pick (141st overall subsequently traded, Kenny McKinley) from Cleveland Browns for 2008 6th round pick (191st overall, Paul Hubbard). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Carolina traded up from No. 43 to No. 19 in the 2008 draft for right tackle Jeff Otah, sending Philadelphia picks 43, 109 and a 2009 first-rounder. Otah was excellent when healthy and started immediately, but repeated knee problems limited him to 29 career games. Philadelphia gained valuable draft flexibility and later used the future first as part of the Jason Peters acquisition, giving the Eagles the better return.
Philadelphia acquired running back Lorenzo Booker from Miami for pick No. 115. Booker lasted one season with the Eagles, rushing for 53 yards and catching six passes for 11 yards. Miami later packaged No. 115 with pick No. 208 to move up for guard Shawn Murphy, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the Dolphins. Neither side converted the transaction into meaningful lasting value.
Minnesota traded picks No. 47 and No. 117 to Philadelphia for Nos. 43 and 152, selecting safety Tyrell Johnson and defensive lineman Letroy Guion. Philadelphia drafted Trevor Laws and Quintin Demps. All four players reached the NFL, but Minnesota received the greater sustained starting value: Johnson started 27 games for the Vikings and Guion 31, while Laws and Demps were primarily rotational contributors during their Eagles tenures.
Minnesota acquired veteran quarterback Kelly Holcomb from Philadelphia for a 2009 sixth-round pick, correcting older records that described the compensation as a 2007 selection. Holcomb made three starts for the Vikings in 2007 but was only a short-term bridge. Philadelphia later included pick No. 195 in the package used to move up for Jeremy Maclin, preserving more downstream value.
Dallas Cowboys acquired 2007 1st round pick (26th overall, Anthony Spencer) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2007 2nd round pick (36th overall, Kevin Kolb), 2007 3rd round pick (87th overall, Stewart Bradley) and 2007 5th round pick (159th overall, C.J. Gaddis). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Dallas Cowboys.
Buffalo Bills acquired Darwin Walker and 2007 5th round pick from Philadelphia Eagles for Takeo Spikes and Kelly Holcomb. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2008 7th round pick from Cleveland Browns for Hank Fraley. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
New Orleans Saints acquired Mark Simoneau and 2007 4th round pick (125th overall, Jermon Bushrod) from Philadelphia Eagles for Donte' Stallworth. New Orleans Saints received the stronger recorded football value, matching the New Orleans Saints Win verdict.
Minnesota traded undrafted rookie Hank Baskett to Philadelphia for veteran Billy McMullen, reuniting McMullen with former Eagles coordinator Brad Childress. McMullen gave the Vikings one modest season, while Baskett became a useful Eagles role receiver for several years and topped 1,000 receiving yards for Philadelphia across his tenure. The Eagles clearly created more lasting value from the receiver swap.
Minnesota sent picks 115 and 185 to Philadelphia for guard Artis Hicks and pick 127, which became defensive end Ray Edwards. The Eagles immediately moved the two incoming selections to Green Bay for pick 109, used on Jason Avant. Both organizations extracted real value, but Minnesota received two useful players directly, including the best defensive player in the chain, while Philadelphia's downstream conversion keeps this from being a lopsided result.
New Orleans sent the 99th pick to Philadelphia for veteran defensive tackle Hollis Thomas and No. 108, then used that fourth-round selection on guard Jahri Evans. Thomas became an immediate defensive-line contributor, while Evans started every game as a rookie and grew into a six-time Pro Bowler, four-time first-team All-Pro and Super Bowl XLIV champion. Philadelphia selected Max Jean-Gilles at No. 99, producing nowhere near the same value.
Philadelphia sent picks 115 and 185 to Green Bay for pick 109, then selected wide receiver Jason Avant. The Packers used the incoming choices on Will Blackmon and Tyrone Culver. Green Bay did receive useful play from Blackmon, but Avant's longevity and consistent role made the single player Philadelphia targeted the best return in the exchange.
Philadelphia moved up six spots for tackle Winston Justice, giving Tennessee picks 45 and 116. The Titans turned those selections into running back LenDale White and linebacker Stephen Tulloch. Getting two productive starters from the move down, including a long-term defensive regular, outweighed the value Philadelphia received from Justice and makes Tennessee the clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2006 3rd round pick (71st overall, Chris Gocong) from New York Jets for 2006 3rd round pick (76th overall, Anthony Schlegel) and 2006 7th round pick (220th overall, Titus Adams). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Dallas Cowboys acquired 2005 4th round pick (132nd overall, Chris Canty) and 2006 6th round pick (182nd overall, Montavious Stanley) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2005 5th round pick (148th overall subsequently traded, Jonathan Welsh) and 2006 4th round pick (116th overall subsequently traded, Stephen Tulloch). Dallas Cowboys received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Dallas Cowboys Win verdict.
Indianapolis gave Philadelphia a 2006 fourth-round pick to acquire the 148th selection in 2005 and draft defensive end Jonathan Welsh. Welsh appeared in only six games for the Colts. Philadelphia carried the future fourth into the 2006 draft and used it in a sequence of trades that helped create more roster value, giving the Eagles the better return from a patient move.
Philadelphia moved three late-round picks to Green Bay for pick 126 and selected offensive lineman Todd Herremans. Herremans became a long-term Eagles starter, appearing in 127 games with 124 starts over a decade and playing multiple line positions. Green Bay's return produced only limited direct value, while one pick was moved again, making Philadelphia's consolidation of draft capital an emphatic win.
Philadelphia received Sean Considine directly and later used the No. 175 asset in the package that moved up for Todd Herremans. Anttaj Hawthorne was selected by a later holder and is provenance only. The Eagles produced the slightly stronger total return.
Kansas City Chiefs acquired John Welbourn from Philadelphia Eagles for 2004 5th round pick (162nd overall, Thomas Tapeh) and 2005 3rd round pick (77th overall, Ryan Moats). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Kansas City Chiefs.
Washington Commanders acquired James Thrash from Philadelphia Eagles for 2005 5th round pick (146th overall, Trent Cole). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Washington Commanders.
Miami sent a 2005 second-round pick to Philadelphia for quarterback A.J. Feeley, betting that his promising relief work behind Donovan McNabb could translate into a starting role. Feeley started eight games for the 2004 Dolphins, threw more interceptions than touchdowns, and was traded away the next season. Philadelphia turned the pick into receiver Reggie Brown and clearly extracted more lasting value.
Philadelphia traded the 166th overall pick in the 2003 draft to Green Bay for selections 185 and 244. The Packers used No. 166 on linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer, while the Eagles selected Jeremy Bridges and Norman LeJeune. Hillenmeyer did not become a Packers contributor after leaving for Chicago, and Philadelphia gained two chances from one late pick. The Eagles receive the slight edge, though the overall stakes remained modest.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 2003 1st round pick (30th overall, Sammy Davis) and 2003 2nd round pick (62nd overall, Terrence Kiel) from Philadelphia Eagles for 2003 1st round pick (15th overall, Jerome McDougle). The overall result favors Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers over Los Angeles Chargers.
Atlanta Falcons acquired 2003 6th round pick (202nd overall, Waine Bacon); 2004 4th round pick (125th overall subsequently traded, Jason David) from Philadelphia Eagles for Mark Simoneau. Atlanta Falcons received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Atlanta Falcons Win verdict.
Green Bay acquired cornerback Al Harris and a 2003 fourth-round pick from Philadelphia for the Eagles' second-round selection. Harris immediately became a full-time Packers starter, recorded three interceptions in 2003, and remained a major piece of Green Bay's secondary for years. Philadelphia later used the acquired pick in its move up for Jerome McDougle, but Harris' sustained production makes Green Bay the decisive winner.
Miami acquired Philadelphia's 2001 third-round pick at No. 88, used on linebacker Morlon Greenwood, plus the sixth-round pick at No. 187, used on defensive end Otis Leverette. In return, Philadelphia received Miami's 2002 second-round selection, which became No. 59 and cornerback Sheldon Brown. Greenwood gave Miami four seasons of regular defensive work, but Brown's longer Philadelphia tenure creates the stronger return.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2001 5th round pick (147th overall, Tony Stewart) from Green Bay Packers for Allen Rossum. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 2000 2nd round pick (61st overall, Bobbie Williams) from Tennessee Titans for 2000 3rd round pick (68th overall, Erron Kinney) and 2000 5th round pick (135th overall, Aric Morris). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jeff Thomason from Green Bay Packers for Kaseem Sinceno. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles
Carolina received a seventh-round pick in 2001 that was never converted into a contributor, effectively giving away a depth tight end for nothing
Philadelphia Eagles acquired John Michaels from Green Bay Packers for Jon Harris. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Las Vegas Raiders acquired Bobby Hoying from Philadelphia Eagles for 2000 6th round pick (178th overall, John Frank). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Washington Commanders acquired Rodney Peete from Philadelphia Eagles for 2000 6th round pick (192nd overall, John Romero). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Washington Commanders.
Philadelphia sent Detroit the 137th pick in the 1999 draft and received the Lions’ 2000 fourth-rounder, No. 111. Detroit used the immediate choice on Tyree Talton, who played only 12 NFL games. Philadelphia later flipped No. 111 to San Diego for a 2001 third-round pick and selected Derrick Burgess, turning a fifth-rounder into a productive pass rusher and a much stronger long-term return.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Dietrich Jells from New England Patriots for 2000 7th round pick (212th overall subsequently traded, Tim Rattay). The overall result favors New England Patriots over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1999 7th round pick from Baltimore Ravens for Ben Cavil. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Denver Broncos acquired 1998 7th round pick (200th overall, Trey Teague) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1999 6th round pick (201st overall, Troy Smith). The contaminated Atlanta/San Francisco data is removed; Denver's Trey Teague return carries more value than Philadelphia's future sixth-round return.
Philadelphia sent the 102nd pick to Miami for picks 112 and 142 in the 1998 draft. Miami selected defensive end Lorenzo Bromell, who played 77 NFL games. Philadelphia used its two selections on Brandon Whiting and Ike Reese. Whiting played 93 games and Reese 144, with Reese earning a Pro Bowl selection as a special-teams standout. The Eagles turned one fourth-rounder into two durable contributors.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jeff Graham from New York Jets for 1998 6th round pick (163rd overall, Eric Ogbogu). The overall result favors New York Jets over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia acquired 1998 3rd round pick (85th overall, Allen Rossum) and 1998 4th round pick (116th overall, Clarence Love) from New York Giants for 1998 3rd round pick (70th overall, Brian Alford).
Philadelphia acquired defensive end Hugh Douglas from the Jets for second- and fifth-round picks in the 1998 draft. Douglas became one of the Eagles’ defining defenders, earning multiple Pro Bowl selections and producing repeated double-digit sack seasons. New York moved the second-rounder again before the draft and received little lasting value from the original package. Philadelphia won this trade decisively.
New York Giants acquired 1998 3rd round pick (70th overall, Brian Alford) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1998 3rd round pick (85th overall, Allen Rossum) and 1998 4th round pick (116th overall, Clarence Love). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Sean Love from New York Jets for (past considerations). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Dallas moved from No. 25 to No. 22 in 1997 for tight end David LaFleur, sending Philadelphia the lower first-rounder, a fifth-round pick and a 1998 third-rounder. LaFleur became a four-year Cowboys starter but produced modest receiving totals. Philadelphia missed on Jon Harris, yet later converted the future third-rounder into Allen Rossum and Clarence Love, giving the Eagles a slight overall edge.
Philadelphia moved from No. 84 to No. 71 and selected Duce Staley, giving Arizona an additional sixth-round pick to make the jump. Staley became a long-time Eagles running back and finished his career with 5,785 rushing yards. Arizona selected Ty Howard at No. 84 and Tony McCombs at No. 188; neither approached Staley's impact. Philadelphia's targeted move up produced the decisive player in the deal.
San Francisco 49ers acquired 1997 3rd round pick (66th overall subsequently traded, Ronde Barber) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1997 2nd round pick (57th overall, James Darling), 1997 6th round pick (190th overall, Antwuan Wyatt) and 1997 7th round pick (227th overall, DeAuntae Brown). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over San Francisco 49ers.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1997 7th round pick (207th overall, Koy Detmer) from New York Jets for Ronnie Dixon. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1996 6th round pick (197th overall, Tony Johnson) from Green Bay Packers for Joe Sims. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Ronnie Dixon from Cleveland Browns for 1996 7th round pick (238th overall subsequently traded, Jon Stark). The overall result favors Cleveland Browns over Philadelphia Eagles.
Jacksonville swapped three late picks (6th, 7th, 7th) to Philadelphia for a 5th-round pick (Ryan Christopherson, 169th) and a 7th (Curtis Marsh, 219th). Jacksonville consolidated three deep picks into an earlier selection. Christopherson and Marsh provided minimal NFL impact, as did the Eagles' side. A textbook late-round pick consolidation with no lasting consequence
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1995 4th round pick (119th overall, Dave Barr) from Cleveland Browns for 1995 5th round pick (147th overall, Mike Miller) and 1996 5th round pick (157th overall subsequently traded, Kenneth McDaniel). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles completed this exchange on 1995-04-22. Philadelphia sent receiver Victor Bailey and the 112th pick to Kansas City for the 50th pick and a 1996 sixth-rounder. Kansas City deserves credit for turning its side into more than Bailey alone. The stronger overall return belongs to Philadelphia Eagles. The grades reflect direct team value plus clearly traceable use of any acquired pick that was later traded.
Philadelphia moved from No. 12 to No. 7 in the 1995 draft for defensive end Mike Mamula, sending Tampa Bay picks 12, 43 and 63 while also receiving pick 72. Mamula became a respectable starter and recorded 31.5 sacks, but Tampa Bay used No. 12 on Hall of Famer Warren Sapp and later used No. 63 in the move for Derrick Brooks. The Buccaneers turned the trade into the foundation of a championship defense.
Cleveland Browns received 1996 7th round pick (238th overall subsequently traded, Jon Stark) and gave up Ronnie Dixon. The recorded return remains close enough to support an Even Trade verdict.
Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles completed this exchange on 1994-04-24. Philadelphia moved from No. Because Atlanta added another valuable first-round pick to complete the Doleman trade, No. The stronger overall return belongs to Atlanta Falcons. The grades reflect direct team value plus clearly traceable use of any acquired pick that was later traded.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1994 2nd round pick (40th overall subsequently traded, David Palmer) and 1995 2nd round pick (58th overall, Barrett Brooks) from Cleveland Browns for 1994 1st round pick (29th overall, Derrick Alexander). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
San Francisco 49ers acquired 1994 3rd round pick (100th overall subsequently traded, Ernest Jones) and 1994 6th round pick (190th overall subsequently traded, Paul Duckworth) from Philadelphia Eagles for Bill Romanowski. San Francisco 49ers received the stronger recorded football value, matching the San Francisco 49ers Win verdict.
Denver acquired veteran cornerback Ben Smith from Philadelphia on April 18, 1994, sending the Eagles third- and fifth-round choices in the next two drafts. Smith immediately started 14 games for Denver in 1994, but the Eagles ultimately turned the two picks into receiver Chris Jones and linebacker Whit Marshall. Philadelphia's return lasted longer, giving the Eagles a narrow overall edge.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 1995 6th round pick (183rd overall, Brandon Harrison) from Philadelphia Eagles for Burt Grossman. The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over Los Angeles Chargers.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1994 second round pick (#40-David Palmer) and 1995 second round pick (most favorable of Browns picks) (#58-Barrett Brooks) from Cleveland Browns for 1994 first round pick (#29-Derrick Alexander (Scott)). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 1993 fourth round pick (#104-Horace Copeland) from Philadelphia Eagles for Broderick Thompson. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans received 1993 first round pick (#13-Brad Hopkins) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1993 first round pick (#19-Lester Holmes) and 1993 third round pick (#75-Derrick Frazier). The recorded outcome favors Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans.
Buffalo Bills received 1993 fifth round pick (#136-Mike Devlin) from Philadelphia Eagles for Leon Seals. The recorded outcome favors Buffalo Bills.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1993 conditional pick (not excercised?) from Cleveland Browns for Brad Goebel. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1992 undisclosed draft pick (selection not identified) from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Dick Chapura. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
On 1991-04-21, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles completed a deal whose long-term value became clearer after the players and draft choices developed. Davis became a major starter for Philadelphia, appearing in 78 games and starting 74 during his five Eagles seasons, so the trade was not a simple draft bust. That downstream move is decisive because Green Bay directly controlled the Philadelphia pick and exchanged it for Favre. The result is Green Bay Packers Win, with Green Bay Packers graded A+ and Philadelphia Eagles graded B.
Philadelphia Eagles received Roger Vick from New York Jets for 1991 sixth round pick (#160-Mike Riley). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1992 fourth round pick (#92-Tony Brooks) from Cleveland Browns for Ken Reeves. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1991 sixth round pick (#156-Andy Harmon) from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Don McPherson. The recorded outcome favors Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans.
Philadelphia Eagles
New Orleans acquired return specialist Bobby Morse from Philadelphia on April 24, 1989 for an 11th-round pick in the 1990 draft. Morse played 27 games for the Saints and delivered a 99-yard kickoff-return touchdown in 1989. Philadelphia used the future pick, No. 294, on center John Hudson, who went on to play 67 games for the Eagles. Hudson's longer tenure gives Philadelphia a narrow win.
Philadelphia acquired the 81st pick in the 1989 draft from Chicago and selected linebacker Britt Hager, sending the Bears seven picks from rounds five through twelve. Hager played six seasons for the Eagles, appearing in 90 games and starting 13. Chicago's large return produced some useful depth, led by Mark Green, but no single acquired player matched Hager's sustained Philadelphia contribution, giving the Eagles the edge.
Indianapolis traded Pro Bowl guard Ron Solt to Philadelphia for a 1989 first-round pick and a 1990 fourth-rounder. The first became Andre Rison, who produced 820 receiving yards as a Colts rookie before becoming one of the league's premier receivers later in his career. Turning an established lineman into a first-round skill player plus another selection gave Indianapolis the stronger long-term asset return.
Buffalo Bills received 1989 conditional draft pick (selection not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for Mark Traynowicz. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1989 conditional pick (selection not identified) from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Evan Cooper and Elbert Foules. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia moved from No. 39 to No. 30 in the second round and selected cornerback Eric Allen, sending Tampa Bay the 39th and 83rd choices. Allen became a six-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer, starting 110 games for the Eagles and intercepting 34 passes for Philadelphia. The move up produced a franchise-level defensive star.
Philadelphia Eagles received William Hoggard / D.D. Hoggard / Dee Dee Hoggard and 1988 sixth round pick (#160-Rob Sterling) from Cleveland Browns for Chris Pike. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jimmie Giles from Detroit Lions for 1988 ninth round pick (#234-Todd Irvin). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Atlanta Falcons acquired Greg Brown (Lee) from Philadelphia Eagles for Mike Pitts. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Atlanta Falcons acquired Leonard Mitchell from Philadelphia Eagles for 1988 fourth round pick (#83-Robert Goff / Pig Goff); undisclosed draft pick (not exercised). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Atlanta Falcons received Joel Williams (b. 1956-12-13) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1986 fifth round pick (#128-Dan McMillen). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Cleveland acquired linebacker Anthony Griggs from Philadelphia on draft day in 1986 and sent the Eagles its eighth-round selection, No. 208. Philadelphia used that pick on Seth Joyner, who became one of the defining defenders of the Buddy Ryan era and later entered the Eagles Hall of Fame. Griggs supplied Cleveland useful snaps, but Joyner created far greater long-term value.
Philadelphia acquired quarterback Matt Cavanaugh from San Francisco during the 1986 draft, sending the 49ers a 1986 third-round pick and a 1987 second-round pick. Cavanaugh provided veteran quarterback depth but only limited starting production in Philadelphia. The Eagles received a usable player, yet the two-pick price became much more valuable once San Francisco converted the selections into Tim McKyer and Jeff Bregel.
Atlanta Falcons acquired Reggie Wilkes from Philadelphia Eagles for 1986 seventh round pick (#169-Cornelius Redick / Corn Redick). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
San Francisco 49ers received 1987 eleventh round pick (#288-Chris McLemore) from Philadelphia Eagles for Joe Conwell. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
New York Giants received undisclosed consideration and past considerations (waiver payment for Vyto Kab) from Philadelphia Eagles for undisclosed consideration and 1986 twelfth round pick (#326-Bobby Howard). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
The Raiders acquired veteran linebacker Jerry Robinson from Philadelphia on September 30, 1985, for a 1986 second-round pick that eventually reached the Eagles and became Alonzo Johnson at No. 48. Robinson then gave the Raiders seven seasons, 97 games and 70 starts, providing far more sustained defensive value than Philadelphia ultimately received from Johnson.
Los Angeles acquired defensive end Dennis Harrison from Philadelphia on September 28, 1985 for a 1986 fourth-round pick and a 1987 seventh-round asset later used in the 1986 supplemental draft. Harrison supplied three sacks in 12 Rams games, but his stay was brief. The two outgoing assets ultimately gave Philadelphia substantially more lasting value than the Rams received.
San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers acquired 1986 fourth round pick (#95-Ty Allert); 1987 eighth round pick (#204-Ron Brown) from Philadelphia Eagles for Earnest Jackson. The final verdict remains Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win, with the grades reflecting the recorded asset value and the available historical return.
San Francisco 49ers received 1986 eighth round pick (#203-Jim Popp) from Philadelphia Eagles for Keith Baker. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Detroit Lions received Wilbert Montgomery from Philadelphia Eagles for Garry Cobb / Gary Cobb. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington received 1985 seventh round pick (#177-Jamie Harris) from Philadelphia Eagles for Bob Holly. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Cleveland Browns received Perry Harrington from Philadelphia Eagles for 1985 conditional draft pick (undisclosed). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Miami traded center Mark Dennard to Philadelphia on March 7, 1984, for an undisclosed 1985 draft choice that became the third-round pick at No. 65. The Eagles installed Dennard as their starting center, and he started all 16 games in both 1984 and 1985. Miami used the acquired selection on George Little, whose NFL impact was much smaller.
New England Patriots received Tony Franklin (a) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1985 sixth round pick (#156-Ken Reeves). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Cleveland Browns received Carl Hairston from Philadelphia Eagles for 1985 ninth round pick (#231-Dave Toub). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Kansas City Chiefs received 1985 sixth round pick (#149-John Bostic) from Philadelphia Eagles for Al Dixon. The recorded outcome favors Kansas City Chiefs.
Atlanta traded veteran linebacker Joel Williams to Philadelphia in August 1983 and received the Eagles' 1984 second-round pick. The Falcons used No. 32 on safety Scott Case, who became a long-term defensive fixture, earned a Pro Bowl selection and intercepted 30 passes during his Atlanta career. Williams gave Philadelphia veteran snaps, but the future second-rounder produced much greater lasting value for the Falcons.
Cleveland Browns received 1984 ninth round pick (#228-Don Jones (b)) from Philadelphia Eagles for Bill Cowher. The recorded outcome favors Cleveland Browns.
Minnesota traded its 1983 second-round pick to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Charlie Johnson in August 1982. Johnson became an immediate Vikings starter, making 38 starts across three seasons and recording six sacks in the portion of his career with modern sack data. Philadelphia used No. 46 on linebacker Jody Schulz, who played 44 games for the Eagles but had a much smaller defensive role. Minnesota received the stronger team-specific value.
Cleveland Browns received Thomas Brown (b) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1983 seventh round pick (#182-Jon Schultheis). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received unspecified draft pick from Philadelphia Eagles for Booker Russell. The recorded outcome favors Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers.
Philadelphia acquired fullback Steve Howell from Miami on August 18, 1981 for a 1982 tenth-round selection. Howell did not record regular-season statistics for the Eagles after the trade. Miami used the pick at No. 271 on Florida linebacker Robin Fisher, who did not play an NFL regular-season game. Because neither side turned the transaction into meaningful on-field value, the result settles as an Even Trade.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers acquired Zoe Henderson from Philadelphia Eagles for an undisclosed draft pick. The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Baltimore traded guard Ron Baker to Philadelphia on August 26, 1980 for the 1981 eighth-round pick used on defensive end Hosea Taylor. Taylor gave the Colts 20 games and seven starts across two seasons, including six starts and two sacks as a rookie. Baker became a Philadelphia line fixture, starting 106 games for the Eagles from 1980 through 1988. The long-term gap strongly favors Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Joe Pisarcik from New York Giants for 1981 sixth round pick (#165-Edward O'Neal / Ed O'Neal). The overall result favors New York Giants.
Miami obtained Philadelphia's 1980 tenth-round selection, No. 272, and used it on defensive back Ben Long. Contemporary team draft histories agree that an eleventh-round consideration went back to Philadelphia, although the exact Eagles selection is described differently by surviving references. With little NFL value produced on either side, the fairest result is an even trade.
Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo Bills received Tom Luken from Philadelphia Eagles for draft pick (round and selection not identified). Philadelphia Eagles retain the existing edge, although the available record does not fully identify the consideration.
Miami received Philadelphia's 1981 fifth-round pick, No. 138, and used it on Tommy Vigorito. Vigorito played 35 NFL games and contributed as a runner, receiver and punt returner, including two punt-return touchdowns, so the Dolphins did receive useful value. The longer view produces a B- grade for Miami Dolphins. Philadelphia earns a B+ and Miami a B-.
San Francisco 49ers acquired Mike Hogan from Philadelphia Eagles for 1981 seventh round pick (#174-Alan Duncan). The overall result favors Philadelphia Eagles over San Francisco 49ers.
Atlanta Falcons acquired 1979 fourth round pick (#100-Lynn Cain); 1980 fourth round pick (#105-I.M. Hipp) from Philadelphia Eagles for Claude Humphrey. Atlanta Falcons received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Atlanta Falcons Win verdict.
Buffalo Bills acquired Tom Ehlers; Tom Graham (Lawrence) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1979 eighth round pick (#196-Chuck Correal). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1979 seventh round pick (#178-Don Swafford) from Cleveland Browns for Tom Sullivan. Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
Buffalo Bills received Kevin Farrell from Philadelphia Eagles for draft pick (round and selection not identified). Kevin Farrell is the only identified football return, giving Buffalo the modest edge.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Harvey Goodman from Philadelphia Eagles for future considerations (details not identified). The compensation remains incomplete, but Philadelphia retains the narrow recorded advantage reflected by the existing grades.
The Pittsburgh Steelers received the 1979 twelfth-round pick used on Ed Smith from the Philadelphia Eagles for Rick Engles. The limited draft return produced a slight edge for Pittsburgh, though the minor value involved keeps the grades close.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 1979 tenth round pick (#265-Tony Petruccio) from Philadelphia Eagles for Tom Graham (Lawrence). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers received past considerations (details not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for rights to John Sciarra. Philadelphia retained the more useful recorded right in John Sciarra, while the consideration sent to Tampa Bay remains unidentified.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired John Sanders (b) from New England Patriots for 1978 eighth round pick (#198-Terry Falcon). The overall result favors New England Patriots over Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia acquired Art Thoms from Las Vegas/Oakland Raiders for 1978 seventh round pick (probably #176-Arthur Whittington); 1979 eighth round pick (possibly ninth round #238-Jim Rourke).
Philadelphia Eagles acquired Richard Osborne from New York Jets for 1978 eighth round pick (#203-Mike Mock). The overall result favors New York Jets over Philadelphia Eagles.
Buffalo Bills acquired 1978 sixth round pick (#145-Eric Smith (a)) from Philadelphia Eagles for Don Green / Donnie Green. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Minnesota acquired veteran safety Bill Bradley from Philadelphia for the 1978 seventh-round pick used on Greg Marshall. Bradley did not become a lasting Vikings contributor and finished 1977 with St. Louis, appearing in four games. Marshall, meanwhile, was drafted No. 186 by Philadelphia but played only two NFL games, both for Baltimore. Neither acquiring club realized meaningful direct value.
Philadelphia Eagles acquired 1977 eleventh round pick (#283-Rocco Moore) from New York Jets for 1977 twelfth round pick (#313-Dave Conrad). Philadelphia Eagles received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict.
The Los Angeles Rams acquired Cliff Frazier from Philadelphia for an unidentified 1978 draft pick. Frazier supplied the stronger recorded value, giving the Rams the win.
Los Angeles Chargers acquired $20K cash from Philadelphia Eagles for Art Riley. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Buffalo Bills acquired Bill Dunstan from Philadelphia Eagles for 1978 eighth round pick (#198) [later traded to New England Patriots for John Sanders (b)]. The recorded outcome is even.
Los Angeles acquired the rights to tight end Charle Young by sending the rights to quarterback Ron Jaworski to Philadelphia. Young had already been a productive Eagle, but his Rams stay did not approach the franchise-changing value Jaworski delivered in Philadelphia. The Rams received a legitimate veteran, yet surrendering a decade-long Eagles starter makes this a clear loss in hindsight.
Atlanta Falcons acquired 1978 tenth round pick (#257-Ricky Patton); cash from Philadelphia Eagles for Dave Hampton. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Philadelphia sent Don Zimmerman to Green Bay for an undisclosed draft pick. Because the selection and its downstream value are not identified, the transaction remains Even.
Miami Dolphins received draft pick (selection not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for Don Testerman. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Los Angeles sent Ron Kecman and Gregg Butler to Philadelphia on August 24, 1976 for the Eagles' 1977 second-round pick. Butler was released by Philadelphia before the regular season, and Kecman did not become a lasting Eagles contributor. Even though the exact player selected with the returned choice is not identified here, the Rams clearly received the stronger asset.
Kansas City traded rookie defensive tackle Cliff Frazier to Philadelphia on August 11, 1976, for two future draft choices. Those selections became the 1977 fourth-round pick used on Mark Bailey and the 1978 fifth-round pick used on Dwight Carey. Bailey produced 27 games and nine starts for the Chiefs, giving Kansas City the clearest lasting return from the exchange.
Washington received Joe Lavender from Philadelphia Eagles for Manny Sistrunk, 1977 sixth round pick (#158-Martin Mitchell), 1978 fifth round pick (#130-Norris Banks) and 1979 fourth round pick (#94-Ben Cowins). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received $100 cash from Philadelphia Eagles for Drew Mahalic. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received Ed George from Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for cash. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received Bill Troup from Philadelphia Eagles for Dennis Nelson and undisclosed draft pick (selection not identified). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Dallas traded veteran guard John Niland to Philadelphia for a 1977 third-round pick. Niland started 13 games for the Eagles in 1975 but a knee injury cut short his Philadelphia tenure. Dallas used the No. 62 choice on Tony Hill, who became a three-time Pro Bowl receiver with 7,988 yards and 51 touchdowns. That extraordinary third-round conversion makes this a clear Cowboys win.
Philadelphia Eagles received Bill Lueck from Green Bay Packers for 1976 fourth round pick (#117-Steve Largent). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Oakland sent James McAlister to Philadelphia for a future second-round pick, then used the No. 35 selection in 1977 on defensive back Mike Davis. McAlister gave the Eagles useful short-term offense, but Davis played 115 games for the Raiders and became a durable secondary contributor during a championship era. The longer, more valuable return gives Oakland the win without making Philadelphia's side a total miss.
Philadelphia Eagles received Clifford Brooks / Cliff Brooks from Cleveland Browns for 1976 fourth round pick (#97-Gene Swick). The recorded outcome favors Cleveland Browns.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1976 fourth round pick (#97) [later traded to Cleveland Browns for Clifford Brooks / Cliff Brooks], 1976 eighth round pick (#216-Richard LaFargue) and 1977 ninth round pick (selection not identified) from New England Patriots for Steve Zabel. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Miami acquired Norm Bulaich from Philadelphia for a 1976 fourth-round pick and received five seasons from the veteran back. Bulaich scored 10 total touchdowns in his first Dolphins season and remained a regular contributor through 1979. Philadelphia used the No. 111 selection on defensive end Mike Smith, who never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Miami clearly realized more value.
Cincinnati sent tackle Stan Walters and quarterback Wayne Clark to Philadelphia for quarterback John Reaves and a 1976 second-round pick, later used on guard Glenn Bujnoch. The Bengals received real value from Bujnoch, who became a long-term starter. Philadelphia still won the deal because Walters developed into a nine-year Eagles fixture, two-time Pro Bowler and key lineman on the 1980 NFC championship team.
Philadelphia acquired kicker Horst Muhlmann from Cincinnati for a 1976 third-round choice. Muhlmann immediately made 20 field goals for the Eagles in 1975, followed with 11 more in 1976, and remained through 1977. Cincinnati used the No. 69 pick on Danny Reece, but Reece’s NFL career came with Tampa Bay rather than the Bengals. Philadelphia received the stronger direct value.
Philadelphia Eagles received draft pick (selection not identified) from Detroit Lions for Jerry Patton. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia turned veteran guard Mark Nordquist into two future draft choices, then converted those picks into running backs Mike Hogan and Wilbert Montgomery. Hogan started immediately and produced three useful seasons in Philadelphia, while Montgomery became a two-time Pro Bowler and one of the defining Eagles runners of his era. That extraordinary downstream return makes this a decisive Philadelphia win.
The Rams acquired kicker Tom Dempsey from Philadelphia for a future fourth-round choice whose surviving draft lineage is identified as probably No. 117. Dempsey immediately rewarded Los Angeles by making 21 of 26 field goals in 1975 and scoring a team-high 94 points. Philadelphia later moved the pick onward. The Rams received clear, productive veteran value and deserve the edge.
Atlanta Falcons received Steve Smith (Conant) from Philadelphia Eagles for Art Malone. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received John Tarver from New England Patriots for 1975 fifth round pick (#117-Steve Freeman) and 1976 eighth round pick (#217) [later traded with 1975 sixth round pick (possibly #141-Horace King) to Detroit Lions for Leon Crosswhite]. The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
San Francisco 49ers received 1975 ninth round pick (#223-Dan Natale), 1976 fourth round pick (#100-Steve Rivera) and undisclosed draft pick (selection not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for Randy Jackson (Joe) and Cecil Turner. The recorded outcome favors San Francisco 49ers.
Philadelphia Eagles received Joe Jones (Willie) from Cleveland Browns for Ben Hawkins. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received Charles Ford / Charlie Ford from Chicago Bears for Richard Harris (a) / Rich Harris. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Cincinnati sent linebacker Bill Bergey to Philadelphia and ultimately received three premium selections: the 1977 first-round pick used on Wilson Whitley, the 1978 first-round pick used on Ross Browner, and the 1978 second-round pick used on Ray Griffin. Bergey became an Eagles star, but Cincinnati converted one departing veteran into a broad, long-lived return that helped stock multiple position groups.
Buffalo Bills received undisclosed high draft pick (selection not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for Jerry Patton. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Buffalo traded defensive tackle Jerry Patton to Philadelphia on May 29, 1974, for a future second-round selection. The Bills used that choice at No. 42 in the 1975 draft on linebacker Bob Nelson. Patton immediately started all 14 games for the Eagles in 1974, while Nelson later appeared in 25 games for Buffalo before extending his career elsewhere.
Cincinnati traded quarterback Mike Boryla to Philadelphia for two future draft choices, which became 1975 sixth-rounder Tom Shuman and 1976 first-rounder Billy Brooks. Bengals historical material supports the two-pick package and does not require the cash previously attached to this record. Boryla had a useful stretch in Philadelphia, including a 1975 Pro Bowl selection, but Cincinnati's first-round return ultimately gives the Bengals the edge.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Dennis Wirgowski from Philadelphia Eagles for 1975 conditional eighth round pick (if Wirgowski makes team) conditional pick not exercised. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received Willie Germany from Detroit Lions for (William) Mike Evans. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Atlanta Falcons received 1974 fifth round pick (#128-Monroe Eley) from Philadelphia Eagles for Wesley Chesson / Wes Chesson. The recorded outcome favors Atlanta Falcons.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1974 fifth round pick (#108-Jim Cagle) from Chicago Bears for Mel Tom. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received Dennis Wirgowski from New England Patriots for 1974 sixth round pick (#141-Chuck Ramsey). The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
Minnesota acquired linebacker Ron Porter from Philadelphia for the 1974 fifth-round choice that became pick No. 128. Porter appeared in 13 games for the Vikings in 1973 but did not become a long-term starter. Philadelphia moved the pick onward before Monroe Eley was selected, leaving neither club with enough direct, lasting value to claim a meaningful win.
Buffalo Bills received Larry Watkins from Philadelphia Eagles for Dick Cunningham. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Buffalo Bills received Al Davis (a) from Philadelphia Eagles for undisclosed draft pick (selection not identified). The recorded outcome favors Buffalo Bills.
Cincinnati sent Speedy Thomas to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Jerry Ellison on July 9, 1973. Contemporary reporting confirms the Eagles as the trade partner, but Thomas was released before Philadelphia's regular season and later played for New Orleans. Ellison did not create a documented Bengals regular-season contribution. With neither acquiring club receiving meaningful direct production, the exchange grades even.
Los Angeles sent quarterback Roman Gabriel to Philadelphia for a five-asset package: Harold Jackson, Tony Baker, the 1974 first-round pick used on John Cappelletti, the 1975 first-round pick used on Dennis Harrah, and the 1975 third-round pick used on Dan Nugent. Gabriel immediately revived the Eagles offense, but Jackson and especially Harrah gave the Rams far more sustained value over the following decade.
Philadelphia Eagles received Steve Wright (T.) from Arizona Cardinals for Mike Taylor (Ray). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Baltimore traded running back Norm Bulaich to Philadelphia for the 1973 fourth-round pick used on Gery Palmer and the 1974 second-round pick used on Ed Shuttlesworth. Bulaich immediately gave the Eagles substantial rushing and receiving work, while the Colts' return produced little realized value; Shuttlesworth never played for Baltimore. The original Colts-win direction therefore needs to be reversed in Philadelphia's favor.
Philadelphia acquired linebacker Dick Absher from New Orleans on September 15, 1972 for the 1975 fourth-round choice later used on John Starkebaum at No. 92. Absher played eight games for the Eagles and recorded an interception. Starkebaum suffered a major knee injury in his first Saints training camp and never played an NFL regular-season game, giving Philadelphia the slight hindsight advantage.
Atlanta Falcons received Jim Butler / Jimmy Butler / Jack Butler / Cannonball Butler from Philadelphia Eagles for Tony Baker (a). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Atlanta Falcons received Tony Baker (a) from Philadelphia Eagles for Jim Butler / Jimmy Butler / Jack Butler / Cannonball Butler. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
San Diego acquired linebacker Tim Rossovich from Philadelphia in 1972 for its 1973 first-round pick. Philadelphia ultimately used the No. 6 selection on USC tight end Charle Young, who became an immediate Pro Bowl player and a major piece of the Eagles’ offense for several seasons.
Philadelphia Eagles received Jim Nance from New England Patriots for 1973 fourth round pick (possibly #80-Mike Wells (Eugene)). The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
Philadelphia Eagles received Houston Antwine from New England Patriots for Bill Hobbs / Billy Hobbs / Will Hobbs / Willie Hobbs. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Minnesota sent linebacker Bill Cody to Philadelphia on March 4, 1972 for the Eagles’ 1973 tenth-round choice. Cody appeared in 11 games for Philadelphia that season. Minnesota used pick No. 236 on Tulane defensive back and punter Randy Lee, whose draft record shows no NFL regular-season production. The Eagles therefore receive a narrow edge from a modest exchange that produced limited value overall.
New Orleans Saints received 1972 fourth round pick (#99-Joe Federspiel) from Philadelphia Eagles for Tony Baker (a). The recorded outcome favors New Orleans Saints.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1972 third round pick (#68-Tom Luken) from Detroit Lions for Bill Cappleman. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Minnesota sent quarterback Bill Cappleman to Philadelphia for a 1973 fourth-round pick that became No. 80 overall and Mike Wells. The Eagles did not receive meaningful regular-season production from Cappleman, while Wells likewise failed to develop into a significant Vikings contributor. Minnesota obtained a useful draft chance, but the realized on-field return remained minimal on both sides, making an even C/C result more appropriate than strong grades.
Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles completed this trade on 1971-09-13. Pinder gave Chicago two seasons of usable rushing production, so the Bears did not come away empty. Philadelphia nevertheless converted one veteran back into two meaningful draft assets, including a second-round selection. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a Philadelphia Eagles Win verdict, with Chicago Bears graded C+ and Philadelphia Eagles graded B.
Los Angeles Rams received Joe Carollo from Philadelphia Eagles for draft pick (possibly 1972 #99-Joe Federspiel). The recorded outcome favors Los Angeles Rams.
On 1971-08-23, New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles completed a deal that sent Richard Harvey to New Orleans Saints and Jim Ward (Edgar Harold) to Philadelphia Eagles. Neither player became a significant long-term contributor for his new club. Harvey appeared only briefly for New Orleans, while Ward's Eagles regular-season production was similarly slight, leaving little durable separation between the sides. That realized value supports a Even Trade verdict, with New Orleans Saints graded C and Philadelphia Eagles graded C.
Buffalo Bills received Norman Davis / Norm Davis from Philadelphia Eagles for conditional sixth round pick (not exercised). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received rights to Ron Bull / Ronnie Bull from Chicago Bears for 1973 fifth round pick (#107-Allan Ellis). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
New Orleans Saints received 1972 undisclosed pick and 1972 draft pick (selection not identified) from Philadelphia Eagles for Andy Livingston (a). The recorded outcome favors New Orleans Saints.
Denver Broncos received 1972 fifth round pick (#118-Jim Krieg) from Philadelphia Eagles for Pete Liske. The recorded outcome favors Denver Broncos.
Minnesota acquired veteran quarterback Norm Snead from Philadelphia for tackle Steve Smith and three draft choices: a 1971 second, 1971 sixth and 1972 third. Snead started only two games for the Vikings before becoming part of the package that brought Fran Tarkenton back to Minnesota. Philadelphia received several years of Smith plus multiple selections, giving the Eagles the stronger direct return despite Minnesota later recycling Snead productively.
Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles completed this trade on 1971-01-28. Barton did not establish himself as Philadelphia's answer at quarterback and soon left the NFL for Canada. Detroit captured three premium or useful draft assets from a player who delivered almost no Eagles regular-season value. The post-trade results provide the clearest measure of what each club gained from the exchange. The historical return supports a Detroit Lions Win verdict, with Detroit Lions graded A- and Philadelphia Eagles graded D+.
Philadelphia acquired running back Larry Watkins from Detroit on October 6, 1970 for a 1971 second-round pick. Watkins became useful Eagles depth, playing 37 games with nine starts over three seasons and rushing for 456 yards. Detroit secured premium draft capital for a player who had been a part-time contributor. The exact downstream identity of the pick is disputed in surviving transaction records, so the grade does not depend on naming a specific draftee.
Philadelphia Eagles received Denis Moore from Detroit Lions for 1971 sixth round pick (#150-Frank Harris). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received Robert Parker (a) / Bob Parker from Detroit Lions for Chuck Hughes. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1971 tenth round pick (#256-Tom Bailey (b)) from Detroit Lions for Len Persin. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
New Orleans acquired veteran safety Joe Scarpati and the 1971 tenth-round selection used on Rocky Pamplin for Norman Davis and Bo Burris. Scarpati immediately started 11 games for the Saints in 1970 and intercepted a pass, giving New Orleans useful short-term value from the veteran. Pamplin did not add meaningful NFL production, but Scarpati’s starting role gives the Saints the better realized return.
Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore traded linebacker Ron Porter to Philadelphia for the 1970 third-round pick used on Ara Person. Person never played a regular-season game for the Colts and later appeared in only four NFL games with St. Louis. Porter, meanwhile, remained with Philadelphia through 1972 and contributed as a regular defender. The pick was real value in theory, but Baltimore failed to convert it into production.
San Francisco 49ers received Randy Beisler, draft pick (probably 1970 #48-John Isenbarger), and 1971 third round pick (#55-Sam Dickerson) from Philadelphia Eagles for George Mira (Sr.). The recorded outcome favors San Francisco 49ers.
Atlanta Falcons received Bob Kuechenberg from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Atlanta Falcons.
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received Dan Berry from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts.
Minnesota acquired quarterback John Huarte and kicker Rich Duncan from Philadelphia on September 3, 1969, for a future draft choice whose exact selection is not identified in the surviving transaction record used here. Contemporary reporting confirms the two-player package for a pick. Huarte and Duncan provided immediate depth to a Vikings team headed toward Super Bowl IV, giving Minnesota a modest practical edge despite limited long-term production.
Philadelphia Eagles received Ron Blye / Ronnie Blye and undisclosed consideration from New York Giants for 1970 fifth round pick (#112) [later traded with undisclosed consideration to Atlanta Falcons for Jerry Shay and undisclosed consideration] and undisclosed consideration. The recorded outcome is even.
Philadelphia Eagles received Curtiss Gentry / Curtis Gentry / Curt Gentry from Arizona Cardinals for 1970 sixth round pick (#137-James Manuel). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles Rams received Alvin Haymond / Al Haymond from Philadelphia Eagles for Billy Anderson / Billy Guy Anderson, Jimmy Raye and third round pick (probably 1970 #74) [later traded to Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for Ron Porter]. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1970 seventh round pick (#158-Terry Brennan (b)) from Chicago Bears for Dave McDaniels. The recorded outcome favors Chicago Bears.
Los Angeles Rams received Jim Purnell and draft pick (possibly 1970 #162-Ted Provost) from Philadelphia Eagles for Tony Guillory and 1970 second round pick (#48) [later traded with Randy Beisler and 1971 third round pick (#55-Sam Dickerson) to San Francisco 49ers for George Mira (Sr.)]. The recorded outcome favors Los Angeles Rams.
Atlanta Falcons received Frank Molden, John Mallory, John Zook and 1970 fourth round pick (#84-Paul Reed) from Philadelphia Eagles for Jim Purnell. The recorded outcome favors Atlanta Falcons.
Philadelphia traded running back Izzy Lang to Los Angeles in July 1969 for Harold Jackson and rookie defensive end John Zook. Jackson immediately led the NFL with 1,116 receiving yards, later led the league again in receiving yards and receptions, and became one of the era’s top deep threats. Lang carried the ball once for the Rams and retired after the season. Philadelphia won this exchange overwhelmingly.
Washington received Jim Norton from Philadelphia Eagles for Jim Carroll. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles Rams received Bob Brown (S.) and Jim Nettles from Philadelphia Eagles for Joe Carollo, Don Chuy and Irv Cross. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Dallas acquired Mike Ditka from Philadelphia on January 27, 1969, sending second-year receiver Dave McDaniels in a straight player-for-player swap. Ditka spent four seasons with the Cowboys, became part of their first Super Bowl champion, and caught the final Dallas touchdown in Super Bowl VI. McDaniels was moved again by Philadelphia later in 1969, giving Dallas the stronger long-term return.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1969 third round pick (#69-Bill Bradley) from Minnesota Vikings for Phil King. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington received 1969 ninth round pick (#218-Lynn Buss) and 1969 tenth round pick (#243-Don Shanklin / Donnie Shanklin) from Philadelphia Eagles for Mike Morgan (Lee). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Minnesota acquired veteran quarterback-punter King Hill from Philadelphia for a 1969 third-round pick. The Eagles used No. 69 on Bill Bradley, who became a three-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All-Pro and the first player in NFL history to lead the league in interceptions in consecutive seasons. Hill's Vikings stay was brief, making Philadelphia's return dramatically more valuable.
Washington received Mike Morgan (Lee) from Philadelphia Eagles for 1969 tenth round pick (#243) [later traded with 1969 ninth round pick (#218-Lynn Buss) to Washington for Mike Morgan (Lee)]. The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received Jim Kelly (Harry) from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts.
Philadelphia Eagles received George Harold from Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for cash. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Washington received Aaron Marsh from Philadelphia Eagles for draft pick (possibly 1969 #218-Lynn Buss). The recorded outcome favors Washington.

Atlanta Falcons received John Meyers from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Atlanta Falcons.
Baltimore and Philadelphia exchanged veteran multipurpose players before the 1968 season, with Timmy Brown going to the Colts and Alvin Haymond to the Eagles. Brown played 11 games as a reserve for a Baltimore team that reached Super Bowl III. Haymond started nine games for Philadelphia, intercepted a pass and scored on both punt and kickoff returns before later bringing the Eagles additional trade value. Philadelphia gets the slight edge.
Washington received Richard Absher / Dick Absher from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Philadelphia Eagles received 1968 sixth round pick (#157-Dave Martin) from Cleveland Browns for Ron Duncan (a). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received Jim Kearney from Detroit Lions for cash. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles received Gary Ballman from Pittsburgh Steelers for Earl Gros, Bruce Van Dyke, and 1967 third round pick (#73-Rockne Freitas / Rocky Freitas). Gary Ballman remained a productive Philadelphia receiver for several seasons, giving the Eagles legitimate value. Across the complete player and draft outcomes, the exchange supports the Pittsburgh Steelers Win verdict while still crediting the other club for the useful value it realized.
Washington received rights to Joe Kantor from Philadelphia Eagles for 1968 fifth round pick (#122-Mike Dirks). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received draft pick (possibly 1967 #114-Bob Van Pelt) from Detroit Lions for Jerry Mazzanti. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.

Atlanta Falcons received cash from Philadelphia Eagles for David Rucker / Dave Rucker. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Los Angeles acquired veteran cornerback Irv Cross from Philadelphia for defensive back Aaron Martin and running back Willie Brown. Cross started every game for the Rams across three seasons and became a dependable piece of a rising defense. Martin supplied Philadelphia with some useful secondary snaps, while Brown made only a limited impact. The Rams received the best individual player and the more sustained value, giving Los Angeles the edge.
Los Angeles Rams received Maxie Baughan from Philadelphia Eagles for Frank Molden, Fred Brown (b. 1938-12-22) and 1967 draft pick (possibly #68-Harry Wilson). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Minnesota acquired veteran halfback Billy Ray Barnes from Philadelphia for the 1966 20th-round selection that became No. 298 Gerald Circo. Barnes played 16 games with four starts for the Vikings across 1965 and 1966, totaling 199 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. Circo never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, so Minnesota gained the only tangible field value and earns the edge.
Philadelphia acquired Lane Howell from New York Giants for Pete Case. The result stays even because the known return does not separate enough to justify a winner.
Philadelphia Eagles received draft pick (possibly #89-Mel Tom) from Detroit Lions for John Henderson (William). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Pittsburgh Steelers received Ray Mansfield from Philadelphia Eagles for cash. The recorded outcome favors Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia acquired Don Hultz, Ray Poage, Chuck Lamson and Terry Kosens from Minnesota on May 29, 1964, for Ted Dean and the rights to Bob Berry. Poage started 26 games over two Eagles seasons and Hultz became a long-term Philadelphia defender. Dean played only two games for Minnesota, while Berry's early Vikings role was limited, making Philadelphia the clear winner.
Green Bay sent Jim Ringo and Earl Gros to Philadelphia on May 5, 1964, for linebacker Lee Roy Caffey and the first-round pick that became Donny Anderson. Ringo remained an elite center for four Eagles seasons and Gros became a useful starter, but Caffey and Anderson contributed to Green Bay championship teams. Both sides gained real value, with the Packers winning the long-term comparison.
Philadelphia Eagles received Floyd Peters and Ollie Matson from Detroit Lions for J.D. Smith. The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington acquired future Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and defensive back Jimmy Carr from Philadelphia for quarterback Norm Snead and defensive back Claude Crabb on March 31, 1964. Snead gave the Eagles seven seasons and earned Pro Bowl recognition, so Philadelphia did receive a real starting quarterback. Jurgensen, however, became a Washington icon, led the league in passing multiple times, and ultimately entered Canton. The star power and longevity make Washington the clear winner.
Dallas Cowboys received Tommy McDonald from Philadelphia Eagles for Lynn Hoyem, John Meyers and Sam Baker (H.). The recorded outcome favors Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia Eagles received Ed Blaine from Green Bay Packers for 1964 fourth round pick (#44-Bob Long (Andrew)). The recorded outcome favors Green Bay Packers.
