And so it’s time to ask the age previous query: Ought to the Eagles commerce for him?
Sweat was a pleasant participant for the Eagles; he definitely exceeded expectations as a Day 3 draft choose. He made a Professional Bowl, logged a double-digit sack season in 2022, and even earned some votes for Tremendous Bowl LIX MVP. But when the crew actually wished him on the roster, they wouldn’t have let him stroll final yr.
Had the Eagles not traded for Jonathan Greenard and likewise signed him to a significant contract extension, a Sweat reunion would’ve made extra sense. However Greenard is right here to affix a room that additionally contains Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, and Arnold Ebiketie … amongst others. The Eagles are excessive on Hunt’s potential after seeing him make an enormous leap from 12 months 1 to 12 months 2. Smith was just lately arrested, which could not assist his long-term outlook, however the crew already picked up his fifth-year possibility for 2027. Ebiketie was signed to a one-year deal that features $4.3 million assured and a max worth of $7.3 million. It’s additionally attainable that Brandon Graham will probably be again for yet another experience in 2026.
Sweat simply doesn’t match within the image right here. He’s a extra logical commerce goal for different groups, together with the Cowboys (boo). There’s some familiarity there with Christian Parker now in control of the Dallas protection. Ditto for the Inexperienced Bay Packers with Jonathan Gannon (boo) employed as their defensive coordinator.
