Perfect trade deadline target is staring Eagles directly in the face

History would tell us that we should expect nothing less than aggressiveness bordering on recklessness from Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman at the NFL trade deadline. Roseman loves to wheel and deal more than maybe any other general manager in the league, and he's not going to change his tune now.

The Eagles actually have a number of interesting potential trade candidates given what players could actually be available and the needs they have, but there's one option out there who might make more sense than the rest.

The perfect trade deadline target for the Eagles (or at least one of them) has got to be Tennessee Titans DL/EDGE Dre'Mont Jones, who could reunite with Vic Fangio in Philadelphia.

Dre'Mont Jones is a no-brainer trade target for Eagles at the NFL Trade Deadline

There are a couple of players with connections to Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio who could be available at the NFL trade deadline this year, but Dre'Mont Jones might be one of the best bargain values out there.

Jones was actually the very first defensive player drafted by the Denver Broncos when Fangio was the head coach in the Mile High City, and he was an effective player on Fangio's defensive front immediately. In fact, Jones became the first Denver Broncos rookie to ever win AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors back in that 2019 season.

He developed under Fangio in Denver for three seasons before the Broncos moved on in 2022, and he blossomed into a player with a big-money contract after the 2022 season. Although things didn't work out for Jones in Seattle with the Seahawks, he had a career-best 13 quarterback hits last season and already has five quarterback hits and three sacks in eight games so far this season.

The best part about Jones's game is that he doesn't have to play strictly off the edge. Actually, the Titans moved him out there this season due to the state of their roster. Jones actually played more on the interior defensive line under Fangio in Denver, and can provide that pop from the edge whenever it's needed.

He would be a great addition to the Eagles' defensive front, and because the Titans are expected to have a bit of a fire sale, he could be available for a late-round pick swap or something pretty reasonable.

The Eagles could also look to reunite Fangio with a player he had both in Denver and Miami: Bradley Chubb. Actually, it was the Broncos' decision to trade Bradley Chubb that seemed to be the final nail in the coffin for Dre'Mont Jones in terms of his time with the team. At that point, he wanted nothing to do with coming back to the Broncos, or so it seemed.

Maybe Howie Roseman can swing it so those two guys can be back playing together again under Vic Fangio, helping the Eagles chase another Super Bowl win.
