10 Nov
Summary
- Arnold Ebiketie traded to Bengals for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

- Ebiketie logged 25 tackles, no sacks, in nine games for Eagles.
The Philadelphia Eagles have traded edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to the Cincinnati Bengals. The deal, confirmed by league sources, includes a 2027 sixth-round pick for Ebiketie. This marks the second player the Eagles have moved before the NFL's trade deadline, following defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
With this transaction, the Eagles now hold 10 selections in the upcoming 2027 NFL Draft. General Manager Howie Roseman can leverage these picks to rebuild a team currently enduring a seven-game losing streak. Ebiketie, aged 27, was a rotational pass rusher and special teams player, participating in nine games. He accumulated 25 tackles but did not record any sacks or tackles for loss during his time with the Eagles. He never started a game.
The Eagles' active roster now features four edge rushers. This includes Jonathan Greenard, their significant free agent acquisition, who has started the last three contests after an ankle injury sidelined him earlier in the season. Rookie Keyshawn James-Newby remains on the practice squad.
