The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to be one of the top teams in football in 2024.
With one of the strongest rosters in the NFL on paper, the Eagles now need to turn that potential into wins on the field. The start of the 2024 season is just weeks away, so it won’t be long before we see how they perform.
As the season approaches, one intriguing option could become available to further strengthen the Eagles. Although Philadelphia doesn’t necessarily need to make another move, New England Patriots star defensive end Matthew Judon has been seeking a new contract without success. This has led to other teams, including the Eagles, showing interest in a potential trade, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
“Multiple teams have inquired about trading for pass rusher Matthew Judon amid his contract stalemate with the Patriots, per sources,” Fowler reported. “Judon is due $6.5 million in the final year of his deal. New England made a contract offer to Judon this summer, which he did not accept.”
Philadelphia could benefit from additional help on the edge, and Judon, when healthy, is one of the best in the league. The Eagles have ample cap space to make a deal happen if they choose to pursue it. While acquiring Judon in a trade with the Patriots could be costly in terms of draft picks, he could be the key to elevating the Eagles’ defense to the next level.
