The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 38-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday afternoon. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 333-yards and four touchdowns against the Eagles secondary. With the NFL trade deadline on October 29th, we’ll take a look at the top 5 players the Eagles could target at the trade deadline.

Logan Ryan- Cornerback- Tennessee Titans

Logan Ryan

Logan Ryan has had a good season for the Titans. The Rutgers alum has 22 tackles, 2.5 sacks with two interceptions, and one forced fumble. Ryan is in his final year of a three contract he signed back in 2017. The 28 years old could help bolster the Eagles secondary.

Kevin Byard- Free Safety- Tennessee Titans

Kevin Byard

Kevin Byard is a Philadelphia native. The 26-year-old has 32 tackles and three interceptions. Unfortunately, the Eagles may not be able to acquire him as he signed a 7-year extension with the Titans for five years and $70.5 million dollars this past summer. Unless Tennessee eats up a lot of his salary, the Eagles are probably not going to go after Byard.

Rayshawn Jenkins- Defensive Back- Los Angeles Chargers

Rayshawn Jenkins

Rayshawn Jenkins is just 25-years-old and in his third season with the Chargers. This season, Jenkins has 22 tackles and two interceptions. Jenkins has two more years left on his contract and is a player the Eagles could look at to help bolster the secondary.

Justin Simmons – Free Safety- Denver Broncos

Justin Simmons is in his fourth season out of Boston College and is just 25-years-old. This season, Simmons has 30 tackles and two interceptions. He is in his last year of this contract and could help the Eagles with safety help.

Quinton Dunbar- Cornerback- Washington Redskins

Quinton Dunbar

The 27-year-old from Florida is having a good season for the Washington Redskins tallying 21 tackles and three interceptions. He is in his fifth season and has two years left on his contract that he signed in 2018. Dunbar would be a nice addition to the Eagles secondary, and the Redskins could consider trading him if the price is right.

The obvious person who Eagles fans want the team to go after is Jacksonville Jaguars Defensive Back Jalen Ramsey. Obviously, the Jaguars are not going to trade him, but these five players listed here could help the Eagles secondary, and it might not cost the Eagles a lot like draft picks or trading players to get these guys. If the Eagles have any chance at making a playoff run and possibly the Super Bowl, the Eagles must act at the deadline and get secondary help.
