Since 2010, the start of Howie Roseman's reign as the Philadelphia Eagles' GM, the team has made a whopping 28 trades from the time training camp has started (or close enough) until their first game of the season was played, and at least one every year.
The majority of them involved "back of the roster" guys, but just for the hell of it, let's take a look back at the last 11 years of Eagles training camp trades:
- MORE ON THE EAGLES
- Three trades that make sense for the Eagles
- What they're saying: Eagles lack under-25 talent, free agent (and trade) options at linebacker, more
- Eagles 53-man roster projection, at the start of 2020 training camp
2019
- Traded DT Bruce Hector to the Cardinals for S Rudy Ford.
- Traded OT Ryan Bates to the Bills for DE Eli Harold.
2018
- Traded a seventh-round pick to the Bears for S Deiondre' Hall.
2017
- Traded G/T Allen Barbre to the Broncos for a seventh-round pick.
- Traded a third-round pick and WR Jordan Matthews for CB Ronald Darby.
- Traded OT Matt Tobin and a seventh-round pick to the Seahawks for a fifth-round pick.
- Traded S Terrance Brooks to the New York Jets for CB Dexter McDougle.
- Traded LS Jon Dorenbos to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a seventh-round pick. Of course, this trade was later rescinded after it was determined that Dorenbos might have died if he continued playing football.
#JimmySays: Trading Matthews and a 3 for Darby was the most notable move. Darby struggled to stay healthy during his Eagles tenure, but he was a starting corner during the team's Super Bowl run. That third round pick obviously became the final non-compensatory pick on Day 2 of the 2018 draft.
On a side note, the Tobin trade was some nice wheeling and dealing by Howie. The fifth-round pick gained in the Tobin deal was used to acquire Michael Bennett the next offseason.
2016
- Traded G/T Dennis Kelly to the Titans for WR Dorial Green-Beckham.
- Traded QB Sam Bradford to the Vikings for a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick.
- Traded CB Eric Rowe to the Patriots for a fourth-round pick.
#JimmySays: This was Roseman's first season back at the helm after spending a season in "Storage Room B," and he came out firing.
After Teddy Bridgewater suffered a gruesome injury, the Vikings did not want to punt on the 2016 season, and so they were willing to give up an absurd price for Sleevie Wonder. The Eagles turned those two draft picks into Derek Barnett and Josh Sweat.
As for the Green-Beckham trade, at the time, many felt this trade was a coup for the Eagles, but DGB had one miserable season in Philly, while Kelly remains a contributor on the Titans' line.
Rowe became a good starter in the NFL for the Patriots and Dolphins, though it should be noted that the Eagles had success against him in the Super Bowl.
2015
- Traded CB Brandon Boykin to the Steelers for a fifth-round pick.
- Traded QB Matt Barkley to the Cardinals for a seventh-round pick.
2014
- Traded RB David Fluellen to the Colts for K Cody Parkey.
- Traded a seventh-round pick to the Panthers for RB Kenjon Barner.
2013
- Traded RB Felix Jones to the Steelers for LB Adrian Robinson.
- Traded OL Nate Menkin to the Texans for WR Jeff Maehl.
2012
- Traded a sixth-round pick to the Browns for S David Sims and a seventh-round pick
- Traded LB Moise Fokou and LB Greg Lloyd to the Colts for CB Kevin Thomas.
- Traded CB D.J. Johnson to the Colts for DT Ollie Ogbu.
2011
- Traded QB Kevin Kolb to the Cardinals for CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick.
- Traded DT Brodrick Bunkley to the Broncos for a sixth-round pick.
2010
- Traded LB Joe Mays to the Broncos for a sixth-round pick.
- Traded RB Charles Scott to the Cardinals for CB Jorrick Calvin.
- Traded a sixth-round pick to the Cardinals for OG Reggie Wells.
- Traded LB Tracy White and a seventh-round pick to the Patriots for a sixth-round pick.
- Traded Stacy Andrews to the Seahawks for a seventh-round pick.
- Traded a seventh-round pick to the Ravens for DE Antwan Barnes.
that would waste time off the clock (the clock doesn't start until you exit the end zone).
by Andy Reid to run around in the end zone, because the opposing kicker, Dallas' David Buehler, would usually put the ball through the back of the end zone, and Reid wanted the Cowboys to have to have to run down and cover the kick instead of just assuming it would be a touchback. However, after the play, Calvin gave Cowboys CB Alan Ball a double-armed shove to the head, drawing a personal foul, and a Reid scolding on the sideline on national television. So there's your useless anecdote for the day.
Which Eagles player is most likely to be traded during training camp?
