NFL insiders drop massive tease for what Howie Roseman could be up to for Eagles
NFL.com insiders Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport dropped a slight nugget in a recent article regarding possible trades that could come to fruition once the NFL trade deadline comes up in a month. They expect Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman to be active with a trade for a defensive player.
"Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has never met a trade he wouldn't consider, and don't be surprised if he looks for some help on defense. A cornerback or edge would make sense."
Eagles ready to make improvements to their defense
While Eagles fans are still reeling in their defeat against the division rival New York Giants, and possibly looking at a position group to blame it on, it is worth noting that Garafolo and Rapoport aren't off-base with their speculation.
With the recent injury to Quinyon Mitchell, along with the ineffective play of Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson, the Eagles may need to look outside the organization for someone to assist in the secondary. On the active roster, the team rostered rookie Mac McWilliams, Parry Nickerson, and Ambry Thomas at cornerback on the practice squad.
As far as a pass rusher, the Eagles are in desperate need to supplement their front seven. The team did sign veteran EDGE Za'Darius Smith, who provided a slight spark; however, he is limited. The Eagles lost almost 50% of their pass rushers last year, which led to the 2025 squad accounting for only nine sacks in six games.
With no actual EDGE threat, the Eagles have been connected to even making a push for Trey Hendrickson. Currently, the Eagles' leading pass rusher is in a three-way tie with two, tied between Zach Baun, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo.
With "mini" bye, the Eagles have plenty of time to sit and think before their matchup against the Carson Wentz-led Minnesota Vikings. With Howie Roseman being extremely aggressive this season, expect him to be highly active in calling teams, assessing player availability, and providing instant value for Philadelphia, which is currently on a two-game losing streak.
Dak Prescott makes unfortunate NFL history in Cowboys' brutal loss to Panthers
The Dallas Cowboys came up short in Week 6 of the NFL season, falling to the Carolina Panthers on the road. The Cowboys' defense was brutal throughout the game and failed to give Dak Prescott and the offense any help.
Prescott has been stellar through the first six weeks of the year, playing at an MVP level.
Unfortunately, the wins aren't stacking up and that has landed Prescott in uncharted territory. Prescott's output without the wins actually has turned out to be historic.
According to ESPN's Todd Archer, "Since starts were first tracked in 1950, Dak Prescott is the 1st QB to have 11 or more Pass TD/Rush TD, 0 turnovers and a non-winning record over a 3-start span."
Talk about adding insult to injury. Prescott won't say it publicly, but watching the incredible offensive performances go to waste has to be frustrating.
Through the first six games of the season, Prescott ranks second in the league in passing yards (1,617), is tied for third with 13 passing touchdowns, and has thrown only three interceptions. His QBR of 79.5 ranks second among qualifying quarterbacks.
If the defense could simply be mediocre, the Cowboys would be in a much better position entering Week 7.
Dallas' next opportunity to bounce back will come against the division rival Washington Commanders. Kickoff at AT&T Stadium is set for 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.
