There is officially less than a week until the trade deadline arrives for the Philadelphia Eagles, and general manager Howie Roseman is about to be a very busy man, but in a different way from what fans are used to.

The Eagles are 2-6 and on a six-game losing streak, so it is safe to say that tanking might be on their minds. Roseman can't see this team as a legitimate playoff team, so many suspect the Eagles will be big sellers at the trade deadline.

Multiple players on the roster could be available, making a trade easier for the Eagles and letting them add draft picks and start building for the future. Here is everything Eagles fans need to know heading into the final week before the trade deadline on November 10.

Latest trade rumors for the Eagles before deadline arrives

Two of the biggest names in trade rumors on the team are running back Saquon Barkley and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo. Before the Eagles' 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 8, reports said the Eagles told teams that Barkley and Ojomo were not for sale. Barkley confirmed after the loss to the Commanders that the team told him they wouldn't move him.

That leaves plenty of candidates to trade, with a focus on players on one-year deals or in the final year of their contracts. NFL insider Ian Rapoport said on Monday that cornerback Riq Woolen and starting left guard Landon Dickerson are two names to watch as potential deadline trades.

Multiple outlets have mentioned plenty of other names as potential candidates. Players like Dallas Goedert and Hollywood Brown have been frequently mentioned as trade candidates. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported about a week ago that teams were interested in a trade for Brown.

Who the Eagles could potentially move via trade

More than likely to move

Landon Dickerson has been primed for a trade since Jurgens moved himself. Dickerson is struggling in pass protection, and the Eagles want to see what they have in Willie Lampkin at left guard. If Philly gets a third- or fourth-round pick for Dickerson, they could make a trade next week.

Riq Woolen is on a one-year deal and seems poised to be a top candidate to move since so many teams need cornerbacks. Woolen has also been torched in the secondary in the last two games, so the Eagles might be okay moving on from him for a fourth- or fifth-round selection.

Middle of the ground

Dallas Goedert was also a candidate to be traded last season, since he was in the final year of his deal. This season, he's on a one-year contract, and with the tight end room already so crowded, the Eagles could move Goedert to acquire a draft pick.

Hollywood Brown could be traded, but recent injuries in the Eagles' wide receiver room might complicate that. There will be offers for Brown for a Day 3 pick. The question is whether the Eagles want to move on from him when they could use the depth at the position.

Less than likely to happen

Saquon Barkley is a popular name since so many teams need running backs to trade for. Even though the Eagles told Barkley he won't be traded, Cam Jurgens was not a planned trade, but the perfect offer came in for him, so no one can completely rule him out.

Moro Ojomo could also be moved at the right price as well, with teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings desperate to add defensive linemen. The Eagles might hold off on moving him if they want to get him a long-term contract extension.

Biggest positional needs entering trade deadline

The offensive line is a major concern for the Eagles going forward, since they've had new starters at center and right tackle since the season started. The Eagles have also had three different starters at both center and left guard. If the Eagles were to trade for a player, that could be an option.

Safety has been a mess this season with inconsistent coverage from Andrew Mukuba, Marcus Epps, and Kenny Moore. Missed tackles have been a big problem as well, leaving the door open for the team to trade for a younger safety if they are on a rookie deal and are affordable.

Cornerback could be a position the Eagles look at as well, since Woolen isn't a long-term solution for them. Like their other positional needs, they need a young player on a rookie deal to make something happen.

The Eagles are more likely to add Day 3 picks to give them more trade options, but they could also add more up front. In 2028, they have two first-round picks and two second-round picks, which gives them plenty of ammunition for the future. Philly will want to bring in more picks to help them in the future.
