Eagles Seek Trade Solutions Amid 2-5 Start

The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly exploring trade options as they navigate a challenging 2-5 start to the 2026 NFL season. With quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined for the remainder of the year, the team is said to be open to offers for several players.

Running back Saquon Barkley, however, is expected to remain with the team. Despite a frustrating season marked by injuries and limited playing time, Barkley is set to take the field against the Washington Commanders on Sunday night.

Barkley has struggled this season, amassing just 244 rushing yards and one touchdown through five games. His playing time has been severely impacted by hamstring and back issues, which have led to him being inactive or playing only a handful of snaps in several games.

The Eagles' struggles extend beyond the offensive line, with their defense ranking 21st in points allowed. Head coach Nick Sirianni has addressed concerns about team effort, stating that he did not see an issue with player effort in recent games, though acknowledging that other factors have contributed to the team's performance.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Eagles face a critical juncture. With 10 games remaining, the team must decide whether to trade key players or invest in the future, particularly with the hope that Hurts will return next season to stabilize the offense.
