Philadelphia Eagles–San Francisco 49ers Trade History

San Francisco acquired defensive end Jerry Wilson from Philadelphia for guard John Wittenborn on October 17, 1960. Wilson appeared in six 49ers games without a start, and the season became the last of his NFL career.

Philadelphia acquired Bob Harrison and got 22 games, 12 starts and two interceptions from him across 1962-63. San Francisco used the acquired No. 46 pick on Hatch Rosdahl, but Rosdahl never played a regular-season game for the 49ers; his professional career came in the AFL with Buffalo and Kansas City. The Eagles received two seasons of actual linebacker service while San Francisco got no team-specific return from its selection. Philadelphia wins, B- to D.

San Francisco acquired guard Randy Beisler and Philadelphia's 1971 third-round pick in the September 8, 1969 trade that sent quarterback George Mira to the Eagles. Beisler became a six-year 49ers contributor, appearing in 79 games with 49 starts and starting 41 games from 1970 through 1972 alone. The third-rounder became No. 55 Sam Dickerson, who did not play a regular-season game for San Francisco after Green Bay claimed him before the 1971 season.

San Francisco added fullback Mike Hogan from Philadelphia in 1979 and agreed to send a 1981 seventh-round pick. Hogan played two 49ers games, then was bundled with Tony Dungy in the 1980 trade that brought Ray Rhodes and Jimmy Robinson from the Giants.

San Francisco traded wide receiver Keith Baker to Philadelphia on August 30, 1985 for the 1986 eighth-round pick that became No. 203, Jim Popp. Baker gave the Eagles eight games, one start and two receptions for 25 yards that season. Popp signed with the 49ers after the draft but was released before the 1986 regular season and never played an NFL game for San Francisco. Philadelphia earned the modest but clear realized-value edge.

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.

San Francisco traded Joe Conwell's NFL negotiation rights to Philadelphia on August 20, 1986 for the Eagles' 1987 eleventh-round pick. Conwell signed immediately and became useful offensive-line depth, playing 28 games with 21 starts over two Eagles seasons. San Francisco later moved the acquired pick to the Raiders, who used No. 288 on Chris McLemore, so McLemore was not a 49ers selection. Philadelphia clearly received the stronger direct return.

San Francisco traded linebacker Bill Romanowski to Philadelphia during the 1994 draft for the Eagles' third-round pick at No. 100 and sixth-round pick at No. 190. The 49ers immediately reused both selections in separate draft-day packages, with No. 100 helping them move up for Bryant Young and No. 190 helping them move up for Kevin Mitchell. The picks became useful transaction capital rather than direct selections.

San Francisco moved up two spots in the second round on April 19, 1997, sending Philadelphia picks No. 57, No. 190 and No. 227 for No. 55. The 49ers selected Notre Dame fullback Marc Edwards. Edwards played 31 regular-season games with 11 starts over two San Francisco seasons, rushing for 111 yards and one touchdown while catching 28 passes for 266 yards and two scores. He became a useful starting fullback in 1998 before leaving for Cleveland.

The March 2004 Terrell Owens settlement sent Owens from Baltimore to Philadelphia, Brandon Whiting from the Eagles to San Francisco and a Philadelphia fifth-round pick to Baltimore, while the 49ers' earlier second-round compensation moved to the Ravens. For the Eagles and 49ers, the contrast became stark: Owens powered an NFC championship offense, while Whiting played only a small role in San Francisco.

Philadelphia moved from No. 28 to No. 16 in the 2004 draft, sending San Francisco the 28th and 58th selections. The Eagles chose guard Shawn Andrews, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2006 first-team All-Pro. San Francisco turned No. 28 into Rashaun Woods and Richard Seigler and used No. 58 on Shawntae Spencer, a 74-start cornerback, leaving Philadelphia with the better peak return.

San Francisco moved up to No. 94 in the 2005 draft and selected offensive lineman Adam Snyder, sending Philadelphia picks No. 102 and No. 175. Snyder became a durable 49ers lineman and eventually logged 88 NFL starts. Philadelphia used No. 102 on safety Sean Considine and included No. 175 in a separate trade-up that produced pick No. 126, used on guard Todd Herremans.

San Francisco moved Marquise Goodwin and pick No. 210 to Philadelphia for pick No. 190, then used No. 190 on tight end Charlie Woerner. Goodwin opted out of 2020 and his rights reverted to San Francisco in 2021, triggering an additional 2021 seventh-round pick to Philadelphia. Woerner gave the 49ers four seasons, 65 regular-season games and seven starts. Philadelphia got one regular-season game from No. 210 pick Prince Tega Wanogho, while the later seventh-round adjustment was bundled into subsequent pick trades. The realized franchise value favors San Francisco.

San Francisco moved from No. 94 to No. 86 in the 2024 third round and selected guard Dominick Puni, sending Philadelphia No. 94 and No. 132. Puni started immediately and became a dependable 49ers lineman. Philadelphia used No. 94 on edge defender Jalyx Hunt, whose 2025 breakout included 6.5 sacks and three interceptions, giving both clubs strong young starters from the swap.
