March 2026 – Trades


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.

Grade for Falcons – B-
Grade for Eagles – A-
