The Eagles want Georgia Bulldogs, and they don't care if comes via the NFL Draft or in a trade like the one they just executed. Philadelphia has agreed to a trade with the Detroit Lions to acquire star running back D'Andre Swift, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. As for the compensation, the Eagles are sending the Lions a 2025 fourth-round pick and the No. 219 selection in the 2023 NFL Draft for Swift, while Detroit also gives Philly No. 249 overall, per ESPN.

Given Swift's injury history, there is some risk here for Philadelphia, but you can't argue with the price. A 2025 fifth-round pick and a seventh-round pick swap for a player who has the potential to be your lead back is stellar. That's also not mentioning Swift's minuscule price tag, which will account for just $1.7 million against Philadelphia's salary cap in 2023. At his best, Swift can mirror what Miles Sanders was able to do as a runner in 2022 while giving Jalen Hurts more upside as a pass-catcher. And if injuries continue to nag Swift as he returns home to Philadelphia, it won't make much of a dent in terms of the salary cap or the club's draft capital. A low-risk, high-reward move for a loaded Eagles roster.
