5 Philadelphia Eagles Trades to Start a Retool for 2027, including Saquon Barkley
Facing a 2‑5 record and a five‑game losing streak, the Philadelphia Eagles may overhaul their roster before the trade deadline. Analysts suggest moving guard Landon Dickerson to Green Bay for a 2027 fifth‑round pick, trading receiver Dontayvion Wicks and a 2027 seventh‑rounder to Kansas City for a 2027 fourth‑round pick, and shipping cornerback Riq Woolen to Chicago for a 2028 fourth‑rounder. A potential deal also looms for tight end Dallas Goedert heading to Carolina. These moves aim to free cap space, recoup draft capital, and reset a season that has dropped the Eagles out of playoff contention.
Grade the NFL Trade: Bears trade for Jeffery Simmons gets an A
The Chicago Bears acquire All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans, trading a 2027 and 2028 first‑round pick plus a 2027 fourth‑rounder for Simmons and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. Simmons, a four‑time Pro Bowler and three‑time All‑Pro who posted 11 sacks in 15 games last season, is expected to boost a defense that lacks star power as Chicago eyes a Super Bowl window. Fans rate the trade an “A,” and his odds for Defensive Player of the Year rise to +2000, the seventh‑best. With prime‑time games and Thanksgiving/Christmas matchups ahead, Simmons could be a key factor.
NFL rumors: Ravens want to make Bears QB trade for Declan Doyle reunion with Lamar Jackson injured
The Ravens, sitting 4‑4 after a 36‑10 loss to Buffalo, face a quarterback crisis with Lamar Jackson likely out and Tyler Huntley sidelined by turf toe. Reports indicate Baltimore has approached the Chicago Bears for backup QB Tyson Bagent, who previously played under Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Bears may retain Bagent, but the Ravens need a ready‑made fit before their Week 9 Thursday Night Football game against Jacksonville.

Bears can do Rams a favor on Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football pits the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks, and a Bears win could indirectly help the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC playoff race.

With the NFC North tightly packed—Vikings at 6-1, Bears and Lions at 5-2, Packers 5-3—the Bears' result also impacts non‑divisional wild‑card berths. The Rams, now 4-4, still have winnable games against Washington and an upcoming rematch with Arizona, which is juggling its quarterback situation.
Bears vs. Seahawks Fantasy Football Worksheet, Week 8
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Chicago Bears (3.5 spread) against the Seattle Seahawks (‑3.5 spread) on Monday Night Football.
