Eagles complete major trade with Lions

Lineups

Talk about an interesting deal for the Philadelphia Eagles. 

They’ve acquired star RB D’Andre Swift from the Detroit Lions along with a seventh-round pick (No. 249 overall). In exchange, the Eagles sent a fourth-round pick in 2025 and a seventh-rounder this year (No. 219 overall) back to Detroit. 

Lions GM Brad Holmes didn’t exactly endorse Swift staying with the team following the 2023 NFL Draft. 

“D’Andre, he’s still on our roster, he’s still a part of our team, he’s still under contract with us,” Holmes said Thursday. “He’s a dynamic football player, so it hadn’t really changed the math there yet, but it is early. It didn’t really change, we just kind of put Jahmyr in his own separate box, and just got really excited about the player. It didn’t really have any bearing on D’Andre.” 

How are you feeling about this trade, Eagles fans?

Report: Derrick Henry spurns Cowboys, will join division rival

Yardbarker

Earlier this month, reports surfaced that the Dallas Cowboys could have serious interest in Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry, especially combined with having released fan favorite and former 1st round draft selection Ezekiel Elliott earlier this year. A key reinforcement at the running back position would certainly make sense for the Cowboys, considering the fact that Tony Pollard is continuing his offseason recovery from a devastating leg injury.

However, the dreams that Cowboys fans had of Henry suiting up for them will apparently go unfulfilled. In fact, it now appears as though Henry will be joining a bitter Cowboys divisional rival. 

Philly Sports Network’s Bryan Cameron had this to say on the “trail of breadcrumbs”, especially after the massive extension for QB Jalen Hurts: 

“Could there be truth to this rumor? Absolutely,” he wrote of Henry joining the Eagles. “With many teams cutting players and moving on from their big contracts. It would be in the Eagles’ best interest to make a move like this to help secure their offense. While they don’t need a big-name running back in the backfield, the fact of the matter is that they need to win now more than ever after extending Jalen Hurts.”

Additionally, there’s this: 

Last season, Henry racked up 1,538 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Philadelphia Eagles have hired Matt Patricia

Pats Pulpit

Well, this probably won’t go over very well with the passionate fan base of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jalen Hurts signed biggest contract in NFL history

the sport geek

It was just a matter of time before the Philadelphia Eagles announced the contract extension of their star QB Jalen Hurts. 

Moments ago, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Hurts signed the biggest NFL contract ever. He inked a 5 years $255 million extension with a no-trade clause. 

After a record season for the Philly QB, he has been officially chosen to be the future of the team. With that historic pay check comes a lot of incentives that could make him reach more than $274 million.

His agent Nicole Lynn is also becoming the female who negotiated the biggest contract in sports history. 

More details to come.
