5 players Eagles should consider trading during 2022 NFL offseason

There’s a good chance that Gardner Minshew is playing somewhere else in 2022.

Gardner Minshew‘s first start of the 2021-2022 Eagles season couldn’t have come at a better time. QB2 took the place of an injured Jalen Hurts in Week 13 of the regular season. He came through in a huge must-win scenario.

‘The mustache’ led the Birds to a 33-18 victory versus the New York Jets, one in which he completed 80 percent of his passes, tossed the rock around for 242 yards, and found Dallas Goedert for two touchdown strikes. Most importantly, he didn’t turn the ball over.

Minshew is signed through the coming season as well, making him a free agent in 2023, but even though it’s hard to take much from an impressive performance against one of pro football’s perennial bottom-feeders, in an ever-changing NFL, one where someone’s always looking for a signal-caller, the Eagles might not get more for Minshew than they’d get for trading him this offseason.

Howie Roseman landed Gardner for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and that was seen as a genius move at the time. Minshew’s stock may have improved since then meaning the Birds could get something better, maybe a fifth-rounder, if they decide to move him.

Stay tuned. No one should be shocked if Minshew is in an Eagles jersey next season. No one should be surprised if he’s moved either. That’s just how things go in the National Football League.
