3 trades Eagles should make to crush the Cowboys and win NFC East

The Philadelphia Eagles have a roster with tons of holes due to injury.

Carson Wentz and Philadelphia Eagles are in first place in their division after seven games, but this might be the most enthusiastic divison leader at this point we’ve ever seen. They are just 2-4-1, with both of their wins coming against a backup quarterback in Nick Mullens and the moribund New York Giants.

The Dallas Cowboys are still nipping at the Eagles’ heels, and Howie Roseman needs to consummate one of these three deals in order to calm down their hated rivals to the south.

The Eagles need to make one of these trades before the deadline

Because Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn don’t have any roster construction ideas more complex than just signing anyone who played defense in New England, Harmon ended up in Detroit after seven seasons as a Patriot. While Harmon has 20 tackles and two interceptions this year, confirming his skill as a playmaker in deep zone, the Lions are going nowhere, and his skillset could benefit the Eagles.

While the Eagles ditched Malcolm Jenkins in favor of defenders that have more versatility like Jalen Mills and rookie K’Von Wallace, the secondary hasn’t taken a drastic leap forward. Darius Slay has been very good, but not elite, while Wallace picked up a nasty injury in Week 6 against the Ravens.

Harmon’s departure would create a hole in the Detroit secondary, but they have two third-round picks in Tracy Walker and Will Harris that Patricia could evaluate in his absence. Detroit will get a pick back for a player on a one-year deal, while Philadelphia would get a new starting safety that can actually take away a large chunk of the field and limit the number of big plays that have gashed Jim Schwartz’s defense
