Howie Roseman knows this Eagles season is lost.
With Jalen Hurts done for the year due to blood clots and the team on a seven-game losing streak following Sunday’s loss to the Giants, Roseman followed up Monday’s Jordan Davis blockbuster with another trade on of their defensive front Tuesday morning ahead of the 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline.
Philly is sending edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to the Bengals for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, ramping up their sell-off.
Ebiketie, 27, joined the Eagles as a free agent this season on a one-year, $4.3 million contract plus incentives.
In nine games, he has 25 tackles with two quarterback hits while playing 48 percent of the defensive snaps and 37 percent of the special teams snaps.

Ebiketie was a second-round pick (No. 38 overall) by the Falcons in 2022 out of Penn State and spent four years with Atlanta as a situational pass rusher. He had a pair of six-sack seasons in 2023 and ’24, and totaled 16.5 over the previous four seasons.
The moves comes a day after the Eagles sent Davis to the Jaguars for a 2027 first-rounder and 2029 second-rounder. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension in March. The run-stuffer has played in every game since the start of the 2023 season and helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl two seasons ago.
The Bengals are 6-2 after defeating the Falcons in Madrid on Sunday and are looking to beef up a defense that has been boosted by the addition of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, whom Cincinnati acquired from the Giants before the draft for the No. 10 overall pick in this year’s draft. The Giants used that pick on offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa.
