That could be just the beginning of what\u2019s to come in the secondary for the reigning Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler suggested while answering a question about which NFL teams need to be the most active in the trade market over the next several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInjuries over the next month could be the big determining factor, but I usually start these conversations with the most aggressive general managers,\u201d Fowler wrote. \u201cPhiladelphia\u2019s Howie Roseman and Houston\u2019s Nick Caserio have been among the most active dealmakers in recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, those two general managers made a trade with each other about five weeks ago. The Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Texans for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-rounder.<\/p>\n<p>With their next trade, Fowler predicted Roseman and the Eagles to pursue adding a cornerback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still think the Eagles might not be done at cornerback and could survey the market,\u201d concluded Fowler.<\/p>\n<p>That would make a lot of sense given the mounting injuries for Philadelphia at cornerback. On Wednesday, the Eagles placed cornerback Jakorian Bennett on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Eagles have cornerback Adoree\u2019 Jackson listed as doubtful for Week 4 because of a groin injury.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Eagles to Turn to Kelee Ringo in Week 4?<\/h2>\n<p>Second-year defensive backs Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean are the two most important cornerbacks on the Eagles roster. Both are expected to dress against Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>But DeJean plays in the slot when the Eagles deploy the nickel package. Through the first three games of 2025, Jackson and Bennett have been the team\u2019s next top two cornerbacks. Jackson has played about 66% of the team\u2019s defensive snaps while Bennett has been on the field for 12.83% of them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely, though, that neither will be on the field against the Buccaneers. Third-year defensive back Kelee Ringo, who has only played on special teams this season, is the next man up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Eagles are turning to Ringo because who else is left to line up opposite Quinyon Mitchell? They have rookie Mac McWilliams, who, like Ringo, has yet to take a defensive snap, and they added defensive back Parry Nickerson to the 53-man roster,\u201d wrote SI on Eagles\u2019 Ed Kracz.<\/p>\n<p>Ringo started four games as a rookie during 2023. However, he\u2019s started just one of Philadelphia\u2019s past 20 contests. During that stretch, Ringo has only received 112 defensive snaps.<\/p>\n<p>If Jackson and Bennett will each miss an extended period of time, it would make sense for the Eagles to pursue cornerback options on the trade market.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Which CB Could the Eagles Target on Trade Market?<\/h2>\n<p>Fowler didn\u2019t offer a specific cornerback for the Eagles to pursue. More than likely, that\u2019s because it\u2019s a little too early to be determining trade deadline targets.<\/p>\n<p>Fowler mentioned the Texans because they are 0-3. Other 0-3 teams or clubs not expected to be contending for the playoffs are the most likely trade partners for the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>In about a month, it will be much clearer who those teams will be at the 2025 NFL trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Clutch Points\u2019 Bailey Bassett named Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Ford Jr.\u00a0a potential target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean are exciting young players, but the depth behind them and Adoree Jackson could be tested this season,\u201d Bassett wrote. \u201cThe Falcons have some young cornerbacks, so perhaps they\u2019d be willing to part with Mike Ford Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ford is a reserve cornerback for the Falcons who has only been used on special teams this season. He hasn\u2019t played more than 165 defensive snaps in a season since 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, the Eagles will add a cornerback with more defensive experience. But that will all depend on the trade market.<\/p>\n<p>The Falcons also aren\u2019t guaranteed to be sellers. Atlanta suffered a blowout loss in Week 3, but pundits expected the team to be more competitive in 2025 than they\u2019ve been to open this season.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Holcomb is a sports reporter covering the NFL and MLB for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions.
