Five trade targets for depleted Eagles edge rusher corps, from Trey Hendrickson to Jermaine Johnson

If the Eagles didn’t need to add another edge rusher last week, they certainly do now.

Za’Darius Smith announced his retirement on Monday morning, making an already-thin edge rusher corps thinner. The Eagles have just four healthy players at the position on the active roster: Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche, Azeez Ojulari, and Patrick Johnson. Nolan Smith, who has been on injured reserve for the last three weeks, isn’t expected to return until November following the Eagles’ Week 9 bye.

With the Nov. 4 trade deadline just three weeks away, Olivia Reiner looks at five players the Eagles could consider acquiring to bulk up the position.
