Browns are being asked to give up star as part of a deadline deal with the Eagles worth $23 million

The Philadelphia Eagles don’t have any major holes right now.

Philadelphia has an impressive 5-2 record despite some early injury issues. The Eagles were able to weather the storm and look to be a real threat in the NFC. If the regular season ended today, the No. 7 seed Eagles would sneak into the playoffs. They have time to go even higher, and probably will.

If the Eagles want to add before the deadline, it would make sense to add some pass rush help. You don’t necessarily have to make a big splash, although it wouldn’t hurt. Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox compiled a list of the top trade deadline candidates and mentioned Cleveland Browns star Za’Darius Smith with the Eagles.

“The Browns should already have their eye on the 2025 quarterback class,” Knox said. “Trading pass rusher Za’Darius Smith could give Cleveland some more draft capital to pursue a signal-caller in the spring. Pass rushers are in demand, and Smith has already tallied five sacks in eight games. “Several teams” have inquired about Smith, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Media.

“The Philadelphia Eagles could also make sense for Smith. The Eagles are back on playoff path after three straight wins and have recorded a respectable 20 sacks as a team. However, no player on Philadelphia’s roster has more than three quarterback takedowns through seven games. Potential suitors: Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles.

Smith is in the first of two years, $23 million and could certainly help the Eagles’ defense. That’s a great suggestion.
