Philadelphia Eagles Predicted to Trade for 5x Pro Bowler
Andrew Buller-RussSun, June 7, 2026 at 5:07 PM UTC·2 min readThe Philadelphia Eagles are one of a handful of teams that have pulled off multiple high-profile trades this offseason. That’s nothing new for Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, who has mastered the art of making a deal.
It wasn’t just the recent acquisition of Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown. The Eagles also traded for former Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. Yet, some think the Eagles may not be done, and the recent Myles Garrett trade to the Los Angeles Rams could play a factor.
Recently, ESPN analyst and former NFL linebacker Bart Scott suggested that the Brown and Garrett trades have started an “arms race” around the league. In short, Scott believes that the Eagles could turn around and swing a trade for five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
“Listen, I know Howie Roseman, and I see a big move coming. I’m telling you guys. A big move is coming. Roseman always has a plan. I believe that Roseman is gonna take this (cap) space that he has. I think Maxx Crosby is going to Philadelphia. I think Nolan Smith is the player to trade. The arms race is just beginning.”

The Eagles reportedly made a trade offer for Garrett before the Cleveland Browns accepted the Rams’ offer for Garrett. Philadelphia’s offer included Nolan Smith or Jalyx Hunt, plus unknown draft compensation. Cleveland responded by asking for two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter, but Philadelphia had no interest in including their 25-year-old star DT.

Yet, it doesn’t look like the Las Vegas Raiders are ready to listen to trade offers for their star defender again. Perhaps that changes if the Raiders get off to a slow start while Crosby gets a chance to prove that his knee is indeed not a concern after the Baltimore Ravens pulled out of their trade agreement due to a failed physical.
