The Philadelphia Eagles were in the mix to trade for former Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett.
They refused to include Jalen Carter in any trade talks, ultimately costing them a chance to land the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
However, general manager Howie Roseman isn’t the one to let other teams one-up him very often, and he might have another move up his sleeve.
According to NFL insider Jason La Canfora, executives around the league believe he’ll look to trade for Arizona Cardinals star Josh Sweat.
The Eagles might bring back Josh Sweat
“If nothing else, I think (Eagles GM) Howie (Roseman) takes him back,” the GM told La Canfora.
Sweat already played for the Eagles, and he followed former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon to the desert.
He made 17 appearances last season, totaling 30 tackles — including 13 for loss — with 17 quarterback hits and 12.0 sacks, per Football Reference.
Still, Coach Gannon is no longer in the building, and the Cardinals are projected to struggle. Also, he skipped OTAs, and while he was at mandatory minicamp, he didn’t participate in team drills.
The Eagles already bolstered their pass rush with veteran A.J. Epenesa. Still, he failed his physical with the Browns earlier in the offseason, and the 27-year-old has been a rotational pass rusher for most of his career.
This team is always one to keep an eye on when it comes to making big trades, and they won’t stop just because they didn’t get the player they coveted the most.
