The draft is here and the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles start the process at No. 32 overall with the odds favoring trade up, followed by trade down, with stick and pick a distant third, at least among those who cover the team on a daily.
The late skinny from Green Bay is that the Eagles are among a group of teams at the bottom of the first round open to moving back for others trying to come back in, presumably for quarterbacks.
Among the teams open to/discussing moving up: #Texans, #Broncos, #Jaguars.

Among the teams open to/discussing moving back: #Panthers, #Dolphins, Bucs, #Seahawks… and almost everyone late in Round 1.
That type of scenario is likely a real-time situation for Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman because it will be dependant on certain players not dropping.
That group would likely include a cluster of players on the defensive front – think Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen, Texas A&M Edge Shemar Stewart, and Boston College Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku, as well as Georgia safety Malaki Starks and Texas cornerback Jahde Barron.
A move out could be about players like Ohio State interior offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, LSU tight end Maston Taylor, or Texas A&M edge Nic Scourton.

What Kevin Stefanski’s Latest Move Means for Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Career
Former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is still seeking his first NFL start with the Cleveland Browns. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, who had been the offensive play caller, will now no longer be in that role as he announced that offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will take over play calling duties. It was also announced that quarterback Dillon Gabriel will be start for the fifth straight game. Kevin Stefanski Gives Up Offensive Play Calling Duties Kevin Stefanski is a former offensive coordinator and has been the Browns coach since 2020. With the Browns struggles on the offensive side of the ball they have decided to make a change. This change will not be at the quarterback position for now, as Dillon Gabriel will remain the starter of backup Shedeur Sanders. Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will now be the offensive play caller over Stefanski. Rees has been with the Browns coaching staff since 2024, but this is his first season as the offensive coordinator. Even with Gabriel in line to start the Browns next game against the New York Jets, does the play caller change signal more changes to be made? Better Chance For Shedeur Sanders To Start? The Cleveland Browns offense has struggled mightily this season in their 2-6 start. They have score more than 17 points just once all season long. They have already made one quarterback change, as veteran Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals after starting the first four games in Cleveland. Stefanski made third round rookie Dillon Gabriel the starter. The Browns are 1-3 with Gabriel. Every game that the Browns offense continues to have a tough time scoring, momentum builds for Sanders to get his opportunity. Rookie Quarterback Battle The Browns stunned the football world when they selected two quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft in just a matter of a few rounds. They took Gabriel in the third round and then Sanders in the fifth. Both of these quarterbacks were coming off successful 2024 seasons’ in college. Gabriel was the quarterback of the Oregon Ducks. He hoped lead them to a Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff appearance. He finished third in Heisman trophy voting. Sanders had quite the year of his own for the nine-win Buffaloes in 2024. He threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns on a staggering 74.0 completion percentage. He won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. The Buffaloes ended up retiring Shedeur’s number. It’s clear that Colorado misses Shedeur. So far in the 2025 season, they are 3-6 with quarterback questions. The Buffaloes will be starting their third different quarterback this season when they give freshman Julian Lewis the nod in their next game. Colorado coach Deion Sanders has already tried to liven the offense up with Kaidon Salter and Ryan Staub, but now it’s time for the freshman Lewis to show what he's got.

Seahawks GM's comments offer clue at potential NFL trade deadline partners
If there was any question about whether the Seattle Seahawks should be buyers or sellers going into the NFL trade deadline, last night's crushing victory over the Washington Commanders answered it. After eight games played, Seattle has a top-five scoring offense, a top-five scoring defense and a special teams unit that's making high-impact plays routine. That gives the Seahawks all the reason in the world to be aggressive at the trade deadline, and the latest reporting suggests that's exactly what they're going to do. General manager John Schneider may have offered a hint in his pre-game radio hit with KIRO, saying that the Seahawks spoke with teams at the Maryland-Indiana game on Saturday. That give us an idea of who they might be dealing with, based on the reports of the other teams who sent personnel to that game. That includes the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Jets, the Carolina Panthers, the Cleveland Browns and the Washington Commanders, who may have had some extra face time with the Seahawks during last night's game. We can safely cross the 49ers off the list of potential trade partners, but we can't do that with any others. The one question mark is the Panthers - and nobody seems to know which way they're leaning. Carolina is a surprise 5-4 after shocking the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but the gap between the Panthers and the NFC teams currently on pace for a playoff spot is pretty massive. That makes the Jets, Browns and Commanders the most likely candidates to make a deal with the Seahawks from this list but we also have to assume they're talking with other teams. Pete Carroll's Raiders are another obvious potential trade partner based on their relationship and the fact that they're 2-6 going into the deadline. The Seahawks have also had a long history of making deals with the Philadelphia Eagles, who need cornerback help an have reportedly been considering a deal for Riq Woolen. On that note, the math may have changed last night due to the injuy to Josh Jobe, who was ruled out early with a concussion. Woolen responded with his best game of the season - which might be just enough to convince the Seahawks to keep him around for the playoffs.
Jerry Jones reveals Cowboys made surprise trade ahead of MNF vs. Cardinals
During an appearance on SiriusXM, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Dallas made a trade Monday. However, Jones reportedly refused to reveal who the Cowboys had acquired. “Cowboys owner Jerry Jones @SIRIUSXM just said Dallas has made a trade and could possibly make a couple of more before tomorrow’s deadline,” The Athletic‘s Jon Machota wrote on X. “He declined to share who is involved in the trade. Jones: ‘Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.'” The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. With a 3-4-1 record, the Cowboys are a middling NFL team this season thus far. Perhaps a trade could help the Cowboys hit their stride as they head into the back half of the season. Nonetheless, many Cowboys fans expressed their anxieties online about Jones’ comments. In fairness, Jones left fans shell-shocked earlier this fall when he traded star EDGE Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, in exchange for two first-round picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. “We have two kinds of capital or currency in the NFL,” Jerry Jones said at the time. “One of them is draft picks. The other is the financial because every team is limited to the same amount of resources to spend, and having said that, Micah enabled us to have four, possibly as many as six players, for the future. That’s a good trade when you need numbers. I’ll take the numbers every time.” As of this report, it’s not only unclear who the Cowboys traded for, but what they gave up in the deal. The team needs defensive assets. The Cowboys are allowing 404.6 yards per game, the second-most in the NFL, only better than the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Arizona Cardinals are entering Monday’s contest on a five-game losing streak, Dallas shouldn’t overlook the matchup. The Cardinals have lost their last five games by a combined 13 points. Moreover, the Cardinals held fourth-quarter leads in all five games. If Dallas isn’t prepared on Monday, Arizona will be ready to pounce on the opportunity. The Cowboys and Cardinals will square off at 7:15 p.m. CT on Monday. The game will air live on ABC and ESPN. Dallas fans will keep their ears peeled for any mention of a new name on their team’s roster.
Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips trade draws sobering Mike McDaniel reaction
The Miami Dolphins’ season has not gone as planned. Through nine weeks, they are 2-7 and near the bottom of the AFC. Any aspiration of playing in the postseason is a thing of the past. That reality prompted the stunning trade of Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday. The Dolphins landed a 2026 third-round pick for Phillips, whom they drafted in the first round in the 2021 NFL Draft. After the trade was announced, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel was asked for his thoughts. He did a great job putting it into perspective, as captured by ESPN reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques. “That part of the business, I absolutely despise in terms of having to say goodbye to a player,” McDaniel said. “It was a very healthy conversation, and it was understood that sometimes the best interests of a team long term doesn’t overlap with the interests in one game for one player.” McDaniel did address how you can avoid this type of scenario, and that is by winning. Unfortunately, that is something Miami has not done much of. After being drafted 18th overall four years ago, Phillips had an immediate impact. He posted 8.5 sacks and 42 total tackles during his rookie season. The former Miami Hurricane edge rusher then had seven sacks the following season. But over the last few years, injuries have derailed his ability to help the Dolphins’ defense. Phillips played in a total of 12 games over the course of the 2023 and 2024 NFL seasons. But thus far this year, he has remained healthy and played each week, racking up a trio of sacks. The Eagles have a clear need on defense: edge rusher. So, this move makes a lot of sense for Philadelphia. Unlike recent seasons, the Eagles rank near the bottom in sacks. Phillips will be a free agent after the season. But even if he leaves after this year, the Eagles will receive a compensatory third-round draft pick. So, it seems like a win-win for Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Dolphins kick off their rebuild.
