Zachary Pereles· Oct 7, 2026
Pereles identifies three Eagles who could be traded before the Nov. 10 deadline as Philadelphia pivots toward a rebuild, naming a likely destination for each: tight end Dallas Goedert to the 49ers, cornerback Tariq Woolen to the Lions, and edge rusher A.J. Epenesa to the Falcons.
“If the Eagles are indeed turning over a new leaf and focusing more on the future, there could be more moves before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.”

Riq Woolen to move to Detroit Lions
“Potential suitor: Lions. Detroit was in on Joey Porter Jr. before he landed in Dallas, and Woolen's man coverage skills and size would help a secondary that needs all the cornerback help it can get.”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
Dallas Goedert to move to San Francisco 49ers
“Goedert is still productive, and he could fetch a Day 3 pick. Landing spot: 49ers.”
