4 EDGE rushers the Eagles should target before NFL Trade Deadline – Philly Sports

Eagles' EDGE Rushers: A Path Forward

The Philadelphia Eagles, defending Super Bowl Champions, face uncertainty after back-to-back losses, a first since the last two games of the 2023 season.

The sudden retirement of Za’Darius Smith, who had 1.5 sacks in five games, further weakens the Eagles' EDGE group ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

The current healthy EDGE rushers, including Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, Azeez Ojulari, and Patrick Johnson, have collectively managed just one sack this season, courtesy of Johnson in the loss to the Giants.

Za’Darius Smith announced his retirement on Instagram.

Given this context, the Eagles should target additional EDGE rushers before the NFL Trade Deadline to bolster their defensive capabilities.
