The Philadelphia Eagles are once again one of the best teams in the NFL, with Nick Sirianni and company figuring out ways to put it all together each week and pile up the wins as a result.
Along with being a dominant force on the football field, with the team sporting a record of 7-1, which is the best in the NFL right now, the team has been highly active ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
The Eagles recently signed future Hall of Famer Julio Jones, who scored his first touchdown for the team this past week, and traded for All-Pro safety Kevin Byard in a deal with the Tennessee Titans.
With only one day left before the NFL trade deadline on Halloween, the Eagles made another move to recoup some draft capital it seems, as they have sent defensive lineman Kentavius Street and a draft pick in 2025 to the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Trade: Eagles are sending DL Kentavius Street and a 2025 7th-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2024 6th-round pick, per league source.

This doesn’t move the needle for the Eagles much, as they only brought back a draft pick, which won’t impact the team until next year.
As for the Falcons, however, this gives them a viable replacement for Grady Jarrett, as Schefter pointed out in his tweet.
The Falcons are currently leading the way in the NFC South in what has become a three-team race for the division title and a trip to the NFL playoffs.
The New Orleans Saints (4-4) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) are also in the running, which will make things interesting down the stretch, even though no one is expecting any of these teams to make some noise during the postseason if they end up coming out on top in the division.
