Many people are still stunned to see Cam Jurgens traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Eagles received a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. Baltimore received a 2027 seventh-round pick and Jurgens in the trade.
This trade has some clear winners and losers, and anyone directly involved will feel it. Here's a look at the biggest winners and losers from the trade.
Winners and losers from Eagles' Cam Jurgens trade to Ravens
Winner: Cam Jurgens, C
Jurgens is the biggest winner in this trade, since he can return to his old center spot and come back to Baltimore. He gets the fresh start he needed, since it wasn't working out well for him over the last year in Philly.
This season, Jurgens struggled in Philly as a guard and center, allowing 12 pressures, one quarterback hit, and one sack in 146 pass-blocking snaps. Pro Football Focus graded him as the second-worst interior offensive lineman in the NFL out of 74 guards, at 38.7.
He now has an opportunity to take over his old position again and be comfortable with his job for a long time in Philly. It's a good opportunity for him to try to find his mojo again.
Loser: Jalen Hurts, QB
Yes, Jurgens was a liability on the offensive line this season and has struggled. This has led to Hurts being harassed time and again, including being pressured 15 times and sacked four times in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Still, now that's two experienced, multi-time Pro Bowl players who have departed from the offensive line over the last few days. Hurts will now have a lot of inexperienced linemen in front of him, including Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, and rookie Markel Bell.
The pressure has just increased for Hurts to get the job done and make sure the offensive line is in sync. With this year being so big for a potential contract extension and almost his job being on the line, the last thing he needed was a reshuffle of the line four games into the 2026 season.
Winner: Drew Kendall, C
Kendall went from a backup offensive lineman in Week 1 to a potential future starting center for the Eagles. He was forced into action in Week 2 after Landon Dickerson was placed on IR with the knee injury.
He hasn't had a bad performance through three games, with five pressures, one quarterback hit, and one sack allowed in 111 pass-blocking snaps. PFF ranks him 25th out of 32 centers with a 54.7 overall grade.
It's still a process to develop Kendall through just three games, but now he has a shot to start the whole season and win the job. He's getting better every game, so this is his big shot to run with the job.
Loser: Landon Dickerson, OG
100% Dickerson has been put on notice. It's already rumored that his knee injury was an excuse for the Eagles to bench him lightly for the four games, and he was basically warned about his job.
Dickerson posted an overall PFF grade of 37.6 in Week 1 before he took his trip to the IR. He allowed four pressures and one sack in 35 pass-blocking snaps and drew one penalty.
In his appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP this week, Dickerson said that his knee was feeling good, and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said that he is on track to return next week. It will be an interesting few weeks for Dickerson because if he struggles again, he could be the next player to be traded, and Lampkin will take his spot for the rest of the 2026 season.
Winner: Willie Lampkin, OG
Speaking of Lampkin, what an incredible opportunity for Lampkin to step in and be a starter for at least Week 5. He had a ton of buzz around him during training camp for how good he looked.
During the preseason, he allowed zero sacks. He even had one play where he literally bullied a defensive lineman downfield nine yards and then threw him another three to five yards after that.
He may be under 6 feet, but Lampkin had a streak in college where he didn't allow a sack in over 900 snaps in two seasons at North Carolina. The Eagles want to see what they have in him, and if he can dominate against the Jaguars in Week 5, he may end up replacing Dickerson altogether.
Loser: Chris Kuper, OL Coach
It's not a good look for Kuper in his first season with the Eagles that a future Hall of Famer retired and a two-time Pro Bowler got traded because he didn't play well. Kuper was supposed to come in and not mess up what Jeff Stoutland had built over the last decade-plus, but it's looking like he did.
The offensive line is the worst it has ever been, and now there are three young, inexperienced linemen playing in Week 5. Kuper came in after four years with the Minnesota Vikings and was not retained last season after a poor season for their offensive line. That probably should have been a first sign that something is off.
This is Kuper's chance to redeem himself and hope that Lampkin, Kendall, and Bell can be future starters. If they fail, Kuper could be out of a job after one season.
Winner: Howie Roseman, GM
Roseman fleeced another team, and it is incredible to see. He was actually able to get a future second-round pick for a guy that is considered the second-worst offensive guard in the NFL. Backup offensive guards had better grades than Jurgens.
This is just another classic example of Roseman getting a great deal on a trade that will help the team in the future. They are going to face some tough salary cap issues, so rookies in the draft are going to be valuable for him.

A move like that usually means Roseman has more tricks up his sleeve. There could be a few more trades coming in the next month for Philly after they come back from London.
