The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2026 season has been a total nightmare so far, reeling at 2-3 and staring down the barrel of a three-game losing streak. After dropping Week 4 to the Los Angeles Rams and then getting stomped by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, it’s clear something isn’t clicking. Fans were already buzzing about who else could be on the chopping block after the Cam Jurgens trade, and while ESPN’s Dan Graziano notes a full sell-off isn’t likely *right now*, how the next four weeks play out could make their November trade deadline plans “very interesting.” We’re talking about Howie Roseman possibly being a seller, not a buyer, folks.
The Clock is Ticking Towards November 10
Graziano was clear: the Jurgens trade wasn’t a sign of a full roster clear-out. The Eagles were apparently “done with Jurgens, and the return was good.” But here’s the kicker: if this team drops “a couple more games in the next three to four weeks,” that’s when things could get absolutely wild in Philly. This squad isn’t going to bail on the season based just on their current 2-3 record, not with the NFC East still wide open. However, a lot can change, and fast. The trade deadline lands on November 10, which is also the Eagles’ Week 10 bye week. That gives them exactly four games to figure out if they’re contenders or if it’s time to start looking at 2027.
Divisional Gauntlet Looms Large
Check out this upcoming slate: the Eagles face the Carolina Panthers in Week 6, then get hit with three straight divisional matchups. It’s the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7, the Washington Commanders in Week 8, and the New York Giants in Week 9. Three divisional games before the deadline? They absolutely cannot afford to lose multiple of those if they want to stay in the hunt for the NFC East title. It feels like head coach Nick Sirianni already knows the pressure, taking blame for the “Eagles disaster” after that brutal “eight-second collapse” against the Jaguars. If they crash and burn over these next four weeks, dropping two or more, then a trade deadline fire sale makes total sense.
Plenty of names are already being floated as potential trade bait if things go south. We’re talking Landon Dickerson, Saquon Barkley, Dallas Goedert, Tanner McKee, Hollywood Brown, Fred Johnson, Moro Ojomo, Nolan Smith Jr., Zack Baun, Riq Woolen, and Kenny Moore. While not all of them would be gone, it wouldn’t be a shock to see multiple players on the move by that November 10 deadline if the wheels completely fall off. Graziano nailed it: things could get “very interesting” for Roseman if their season implodes. With Lane Johnson’s retirement already a shadow, it might just be time for a “reset year or two” to chart a course for 2027 and beyond. Get ready, because these next four weeks are everything.
