Sources: Bengals add edge rusher Ebiketie in trade with Eagles
Key Points
The Philadelphia Eagles are trading edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Bengals sport the league's best passing offense, but they now add support for a defense that has long been seen as the team's biggest weakness. Ebiketie, 27, has 25 total tackles this season and played 48% of the snaps for the Eagles and also played on special teams.

The Eagles (2-7) have lost seven straight games and are retooling their roster. Philadelphia already traded starters Cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis this season and have a total of 10 picks in the first two rounds over the next three years.
Cincinnati, on the other hand, clearly has an eye on making its first playoff appearance since the 2022 season. The Bengals (6-2) have won four straight and are tied for first in the AFC North.
