The Philadelphia Eagles utilized the trade deadline well and it had an instant impact on the team in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n
Jaelan Phillips was a one-man wrecking machine against the Packers finishing the game with six tackles, two quarterback hits, and a fumble recovery. Those stats don’t truly capture how impressive Phillips was in just his first game with the Eagles. he may not have had a sack, but he was all over Jordan Love and his presence was felt throughout the game.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia has done well on the trade block, but the time for deals is done. The Eagles are 7-2 and have eight games left. The roster they have is what they will be rolling with moving forward. There’s no reason to think ahead with so much right in front of the Eagles, but Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon attempted to do so. They put together a list of each team’s\u00a0“most valuable offseason trade chip”\u00a0and had a surprising one for Philadelphia: running back Tank Bigsby.<\/p>\n
“Philadelphia Eagles: RB Tank Bigsby,” Gagnon said. “A preseason addition via trade from the Jaguars, Bigsby scored eight touchdowns in 2024 and went over 100 yards in place of an injured Saquon Barkley in Week 8. He’s still just 24 and remains under team control for 2026, but there might not be enough room for him with 2024 fourth-round pick Will Shipley also in the mix. “<\/p>\n
This take is pretty surprising. First and foremost, it’s too early to be thinking about offseason trades. He also wasn’t a preseason addition. The Eagles acquired him ahead of Week 2. He played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1 and had 12 yards.<\/p>\n
Bigsby looks like the Eagles’ RB No. 2 right now. AJ Dillon was signed but has been inactive recently. Will Shipley is on the team, but has 45 total rushing yards on 11 carries this season.<\/p>\n
Bigsby is under contract next season with a\u00a0cap hit just over $1.4 million. If you look at the Eagles’ roster and have to think about a “valuable” trade candidate, it would obviously be the guy who has had his name thrown around in trade rumors for months in AJ Brown. That doesn’t mean the Eagles will move Brown, but if the exercise is “most valuable” trade chip, Brown would fit the bill over Bigsby.<\/p>\n
Regardless, this is an exercise that is too soon.<\/p>\n
New Orleans, LA<\/strong> \u2013 Amid growing frustration from some fans and analysts, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson has publicly addressed the recent calls for the firing of the team’s general manager, categorizing such demands as “absurd” and “misguided.”<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview this week, Benson defended the leadership of the Saints’ front office, including GM Mickey Loomis, stressing that the organization remains on track despite some recent challenges. The Saints, currently in the midst of a difficult stretch in the 2025 season, have faced criticism for their inconsistent play and inability to close out close games, leading to mounting speculation about potential changes within the organization.<\/p>\n “To suggest that Mickey Loomis should be fired is absurd,” Benson stated firmly. “Mickey has been a tremendous leader for this franchise. We\u2019ve seen the results of his decisions \u2014 the growth of the team over the years, the Super Bowl victory, and the consistent playoff appearances. This team is built for success, and we\u2019re not going to make hasty decisions based on a few tough weeks.”<\/p>\n Benson\u2019s comments came after several pundits and outspoken fans called for the Saints to reassess their front office as the team struggles to regain their footing in a competitive NFC South. The Saints have been plagued by injuries and inconsistent quarterback play, and while the roster features several talented players, they have been unable to find the consistency necessary to contend at the top of the division.<\/p>\n However, Benson emphasized that the franchise is fully committed to its long-term vision. “We\u2019re in the business of building for the future. Yes, there are bumps along the way, but we have a clear strategy, and we believe in the direction Mickey and the entire staff are taking us,” Benson explained.<\/p>\n Loomis, who has served as the Saints’ GM for over 15 years, has overseen a successful era for the franchise, including their 2009 Super Bowl victory. Under his leadership, the Saints have consistently been contenders in the NFC, and while this season has had its setbacks, Benson remains confident in his leadership.<\/p>\n “This organization is not in crisis, and it\u2019s certainly not the time for knee-jerk reactions,” Benson added. “We\u2019ll continue to evaluate, improve, and compete \u2014 and we do that together, as a team.”<\/p>\n As the Saints prepare for the remainder of the season, it remains clear that Benson’s commitment to stability and long-term success is unwavering, despite the external noise surrounding the team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Philadelphia Eagles utilized the trade deadline well and it had an instant impact on the team in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers.
