Five Eagles players on the trade block heading into training camp – PhillyVoice
Last week we noted that Howie Roseman has made 24 trades since he reassumed his GM duties in 2016, and we guessed on three players around the league who might make sense as depth pieces to add to the roster.
ast week we noted that Howie Roseman has made 24 trades since he reassumed his GM duties in 2016, and we guessed on three players around the league who might make sense as depth pieces to add to the roster. Here we’ll propose five players currently on the Eagles’ roster who are expendable to some degree and who might make sense for other teams.
Spoiler: These are mostly back-of-the-roster guys. There are no Jalen Carters below.
CB Kelee Ringo
The Eagles made a reasonable enough gamble on Ringo early on Day 3 in the 2023 draft, betting on his size (6’2) and speed (4.36 40), and then allowing him to develop behind the scenes for a couple years. But in 2025 it was time for Ringo to show that he was ready to become a starter alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and he was given every opportunity to do so… but it just didn’t happen.
He had an underwhelming training camp, and he was roasted in the preseason games, opening the door for Adoree’ Jackson to beat him out for the starting job.
Ringo appeared in 17 games, and actually started three of them, playing 311 snaps. He was entirely too grabby in coverage, committing five pass interference penalties, one illegal contact penalty, and one defensive holding penalty.
Ringo does bring special teams value as a gunner. Because of his size and strength, he is difficult to jam, and he can typically outrun jammers down the field. But the Eagles have the best starting cornerback trio in the NFL in Mitchell, DeJean, and Riq Woolen; plus some proven depth in Jonathan Jones and Michael Carter.
As we have noted this offseason, there have been instances in the past of big Eagles cornerbacks struggling early in their careers and then becoming viable starters elsewhere. Recent examples include Rasul Douglas and Josh Jobe. Ringo just turned 24 in June, which means that he is still younger than a bunch of guys who just got drafted in April. He might be a better fit in a defense that employs a lot of Cover-3 looks, where his size and speed could be better utilized and his other negative traits could be hidden a little more easily.
Projected cost: Some other back-of-the-roster depth guy at a position of need.
