This page lists all the 2026 Trades for the Philadelphia Eagles. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2026 – Trades
Eagles acquire QB Andy Dalton from Panthers for 7th-round pick
This may seem like a boring trade on the surface, but I think it’s quite interesting. It doesn’t have all that much to do with Andy Dalton, which may seem odd to say because he’s the only player who was dealt between the Eagles and Panthers.
As soon as I saw this trade, I wondered if the Eagles envisioned themselves trading Tanner McKee. The young quarterback, known as the “Irish Assassin,” has tons of potential and has looked good in most of his brief action in the NFL. There was some speculation that the Eagles would trade him to a team like the Jets, and now that seems more likely because Dalton can serve as Jalen Hurts’ new backup if a deal occurs. Dalton is a clear downgrade from McKee at this juncture, so there doesn’t seem to be another reason as to why Philadelphia would acquire him.
As for the Panthers, they won this trade. That wouldn’t have been the case two years ago, but Dalton is completely washed up now. He’s not worth any sort of draft capital, so Carolina did well to get anything for him.

Falcons acquire S Sydney Brown from Eagles for 4th- and 6th-round pick swaps
There have been four trades in the NFL this week. The major move was made Tuesday when the Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle, and we’ve had two minor moves for backup since then.
Sydney Brown has been a backup in his 3-year pro career. He started three games last year, but was a reserve otherwise. He’s never shown the capability of being a starter, so it’s unclear what the Falcons see in him. Of course, the Falcons are set at safety at the moment, so why trade down in two rounds to acquire a backup? This isn’t a bad trade by any means, as moving down eight spots in Round 4 is not a deal-breaker. Still, it’s confusing as to why they’d do so for Brown.
The Eagles won this trade. Brown didn’t play very much, so to move up in two rounds, including eight spots in Round 4, is a nice move when all Philadelphia had to do was surrender a backup safety.
