And so it’s time to ask the age previous query: Ought to the Eagles commerce for him?
Sweat was a pleasant participant for the Eagles; he actually exceeded expectations as a Day 3 draft decide. He made a Professional Bowl, logged a double-digit sack season in 2022, and even earned some votes for Tremendous Bowl LIX MVP. But when the workforce actually wished him on the roster, they wouldn’t have let him stroll final 12 months.
Had the Eagles not traded for Jonathan Greenard and in addition signed him to a serious contract extension, a Sweat reunion would’ve made extra sense. However Greenard is right here to hitch a room that additionally consists of Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, and Arnold Ebiketie … amongst others. The Eagles are excessive on Hunt’s potential after seeing him make a giant leap from 12 months 1 to 12 months 2. Smith was just lately arrested, which could not assist his long-term outlook, however the workforce already picked up his fifth-year possibility for 2027. Ebiketie was signed to a one-year deal that features $4.3 million assured and a max worth of $7.3 million. It’s additionally attainable that Brandon Graham can be again for yet another journey in 2026.
Sweat simply doesn’t match within the image right here. He’s a extra logical commerce goal for different groups, together with the Cowboys (boo). There’s some familiarity there with Christian Parker now in command of the Dallas protection. Ditto for the Inexperienced Bay Packers with Jonathan Gannon (boo) employed as their defensive coordinator.
