The Philadelphia Eagles are watching their season spin out of control. Philly lost a heartbreaker to Dallas on Monday Night Football, extending their losing streak to five consecutive games. Will the Eagles start selling players at the deadline after falling to 2-5?
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler ranked some of the top trade candidates before the deadline with Matt Bowen in a recent article. It should be no surprise that multiple Eagles players made the cut.
Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen is one player who multiple teams think Philly could be comfortable moving.
“When I talk to rival teams about which players Philly might move, Woolen's name comes up fairly often,” Fowler wrote. “He's a high-upside corner and 2027 free agent whose $1.26 million base salary could help facilitate a trade (much of his $12 million in guarantees came via signing or restructured bonuses).”
The 27-year-old corner has 20 solo tackles with one forced fumble and six passes defensed this season. Possible trade destinations for Woolen include Detroit, Carolina, and Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, Fowler also named Landon Dickerson as a wild card who fans should keep an eye on.

The Eagles are in a position to recoup draft capital for the future and are going younger on the offensive line. A mix of erratic play and injuries could affect his value, but he has Pro Bowl traits, his guarantees run dry next year, and he held up well in his return for ‘Monday Night Football' against the Cowboys.”
Fowler listed the Chargers and Packers are possible team fits for Dickerson.
It will be fascinating to see if Philly goes on a fire sale at the deadline this year.
