Eagles Tie Record with Eight Trades During NFL Draft

PHILADELPHIA, PA -- In a flurry of activity, the Philadelphia Eagles made a total of eight trades during the seven-round NFL draft, tying the record set by the 2023 Houston Texans and 2018 New England Patriots. Led by General Manager Howie Roseman, the Eagles orchestrated five trades on Day 3 alone, demonstrating their determination to acquire targeted players while accumulating picks for the future.

The Eagles were not content with simply participating in the draft; they had a clear strategy in mind. Through separate trades, they obtained three future picks in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of the 2025 draft. This move was aimed at bolstering their selections for the following year, ensuring that they have the resources to continue building a competitive roster.

Despite the trading frenzy, the Eagles managed to secure the prospects they had identified as key targets. Among their acquisitions were Clemson's Will Shipley and Jeremiah Trotter Jr., both of whom the team had their eyes on. The Eagles entered the draft with seven picks, and although they made several trades, they still ended up with six players, showcasing their ability to strike a balance between acquiring additional assets and selecting the talent they coveted.

While the Eagles were busy making deals, the rest of the NFL had a relatively quiet year in terms of trades. Over the course of the three-day draft, there were only 28 trades league-wide, which is tied for the fewest in the last eight drafts. In contrast, last year's draft set a record with 43 trades, highlighting the unique nature of this year's event.
