Eagles Urged to Trade for $56 Million NFL All-Pro
We don’t have to watch the Philadelphia Eagles stumble and bumble on offense for much more than a quarter to see the main difference from last year’s Super Bowl winning team.
The struggles with throwing the ball were all there one year ago — as was the drama with star wide receiver A.J. Brown. That’s nothing new.
What is new is the struggles running the ball, specifically with reigning NFL Offensive Player of Year Saquon Barkley, who is having one of the worst statistical seasons of his career in 2025 after becoming one of just 9 players in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season in 2024.
For the Eagles, Barkley really isn’t the problem. The problem is the play calling from his in-over-his-head first year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and an offensive line that isn’t as good as it was in 2024 thanks to a string of injuries.
That’s why CBS Sports NFL reporter Cody Benjamin proposed a trade that brings the Eagles some offensive line help in the former of 2-time NFL All-Pro guard Wyatt Teller from the Cleveland Browns.
“The Cleveland Browns don’t exactly scream ‘offensive line factory,’ but Teller has been a respected staple of their front for more than a half-decade, earning a trio of Pro Bowl nods along the way,” Benjamin wrote on October 15. “He’s likely available because he’s on an expiring contract with a team in perpetual transition. The Eagles already pay big bucks to Landon Dickerson at guard, but he’s banged up, and fellow interior man Tyler Steen could arguably use relief. Stabilizing, or at least deepening, the trenches could be a first step to unlocking the Saquon Barkley magic that drove the Birds in 2024.”
The Eagles are 4-2 and have lost 2 consecutive games headed into a Week 7 road game against the Minnesota Vikings.
What Getting Teller Might Cost Eagles
The financial cost of bringing Teller to Philadelphia isn’t hard to parse.
If the Eagles push the trade until the November 4 NFL trade deadline they’ll owe him roughly $7 million for the rest of the season.
If he sticks around, that number drops to approximately $4 million, combined, for the 2026 and 2027 seasons — both voidable years — on the 4-year, $56.8 million contract extension he signed with the Browns in 2021.
The more interesting bargaining chip will be what Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman might be willing to give up from his war chest of draft picks — our best guess would be a 2026 fifth round pick or 2026 fourth round pick, at the most.
Barkley’s Concerning Drop in Production
Barkley’s numbers show a player who has been completely stifled by whatever it is the Eagles and Patullo are trying to do on offense.
Through 6 games in 2205, Barkley has 95 carries for 325 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns while averaging an anemic 3.4 yards per carry. Those problems start at the line of scrimmage.
“Saquon Barkley is being contacted behind the LOS on 35.8% of his carries, 2nd most in NFL and also most in his career,” X user Denis Selzman wrote on October 14.
Through 6 games in 2024, Barkley had 108 carries for 658 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns while averaging 6.4 yards per carry.
Steelers’ Scotty Miller Welcomes Daughter, Noli Marie, Amid NFL Season
New beginnings often bring the brightest headlines. For Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Scotty Miller, the cheers this week aren’t coming from the field but from a hospital room. While the NFL season rolls on, Miller and his family just celebrated a life-changing moment.
On Sunday, Scotty Miller and his wife welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Noli Marie Miller, born on September 22, 2025. The announcement came through a heartfelt Instagram post, where the couple shared their joy and gratitude. Smiling and holding their newborn in the picture, the Millers were met with an outpouring of love in the comments, including congratulations from the Steelers’ official account.
Despite years of flying under the radar, he carved out a roster spot with Pittsburgh after a strong training camp and an eye-catching preseason finale against the Panthers, where he hauled in three catches for 82 yards, including a 53-yard grab that set up a field goal before halftime. In total, he caught all nine of his preseason targets for 167 yards, proving his value as both a reliable and explosive option.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin praised Miller’s conditioning, versatility, and experience, while Aaron Rodgers, his new quarterback, highlighted his blistering speed. If any player gets injured, Miller may step into an even larger role early in the season. General manager
For now, though, Scotty Miller’s focus is split in the best way possible. While the Steelers prepare to improve on their slow start to the regular season, their new receiver is celebrating the most personal of victories.
Roman Wilson’s slow start raises questions about fit with Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers may be 2–1, but not all is well inside the offense. Aaron Rodgers has looked shaky
DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III remain Rodgers’ top weapons. Behind them sits Roman Wilson, the rookie wideout once tipped as a breakout candidate after an impressive training camp. Yet through three games, he’s been a non-factor. Wilson has just one catch for seven yards and only two total targets.
Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo recently broke down why. Speaking on Wilson’s lack of impact, he noted the offense has been heavily tilted toward Metcalf, Austin, Jonnu Smith , and
Training camp told a different story. Wilson flashed speed and reliability in Latrobe, but those flashes haven’t translated to Sundays. Fittipaldo hinted that the problem might be deeper; it’s about chemistry. Rodgers reportedly grew frustrated with Wilson during camp, struggling to sync on timing and routes. That disconnect has carried over into the season.
It’s early, but the lack of trust is glaring. Wilson was drafted to be part of the future, yet right now, he’s barely in the picture. With only one reception so far, his next chance comes in Week 4 against Minnesota. The talent is there, but unless Rodgers and Wilson find common ground soon, this story could turn from growing pains into wasted potential.
