Eagles trade ex-Temple and Penn State edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to the Bengals
The Eagles remained active in the hours leading up to the trade deadline.
The Eagles are trading edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to the Bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to a league source. NFL Network and ESPN’s Ian Rapoport was first to report the move.
The deal comes just eight months after the Eagles signed the former Penn State and Temple product to a one-year, $7.3 million contract, including $4.3 million fully guaranteed, in March.
Ebiketie, a rotational edge rusher, recorded 25 combined tackles and two quarterback hits in nine games this season.
The Eagles started the trade deadline period with a bang on Monday with their deal to send Jordan Davis to the Jaguars for a first-round pick in 2027 and a second-round choice in 2029.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
A crucial crossroads is here. The Eagles have reached the bye and, as timing would also have it, the NFL trade deadline, mired in their worst stretch of the Nick Sirianni era. There’s no doubt the franchise needs to course correct, but how? With who? Will players be on the move? Could coaches’ jobs be on the line? The Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Olivia Reiner conduct an autopsy of the Eagles after their seventh straight loss — a 19-11 defeat to the New York Giants — and look at the big picture of an organization that has swiftly fallen far from its Super Bowl glory two years ago.
