Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman is known for his wheeling and dealing on the trade market.

While the Eagles were able to fill a handful of roster holes during free agency, the team’s patient approach to the offseason has still left some room for improvement. With a few weeks until the 2019 NFL Draft, Roseman has some wiggle room to pull off a trade or two. He may not even have to deal a draft pick.

The potential swaps could help the Eagles avoid free agency (and the consequences of the compensatory pick formula). With heavy depth at certain positions, the Eagles could also avoid trading one of their seven current draft picks ahead of the selection process.

One potential player-for-player deal in particular makes a lot of sense for the Eagles.

The Browns are reportedly open to dealing defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his rookie contract. The team recently acquired former Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon, so Ogbah has become expendable.

The Eagles, who recently retained Brandon Graham and re-acquired Vinny Curry, are lacking youth at the defensive end position. With Chris Long contemplating retirement, the Eagles are also potentially facing immediate depth issues at the position as well.

The Eagles have a lot of depth in the secondary after re-signing Ronald Darby, restructuring Rodney McLeod and signing veteran Andrew Sendejo. With Darby back in the fold, the Eagles will start the veteran at one of the cornerback spots, shifting at least one of the last year’s young breakout performers to the bench. Cornerback Rasul Douglas seems to be the most logical candidate for demotion based on previous history.

Douglas struggled to get on the field over the past two seasons when the lineup was at full strength. However, he played well when asked to start in place of Darby during his two stints on injured reserve. Douglas was particularly effective last season, as he led the team with three interceptions and helped provide a boost in the secondary during the team’s playoff push.

Douglas, who has safety attributes and special ballhawking ability, could be appealing to the Browns, who recently dealt safety Jabrill Peppers to the Giants for superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. In theory, the Browns could trade Ogbah to the Eagles for Douglas straight up.

Ogbah would fill the role of the third or fourth defensive end in the Eagles’ pass rushing rotation. Long produced 6.5 sacks in that role last season, so Ogbah would have time to shine and earn a second contract with the Eagles or another team. Ogbah could eventually replace Graham in the starting lineup in future seasons. The former second-round pick has produced 12.5 during during his three-year career.

Douglas, who has flashed several times over the last two years, could earn a starting role in Cleveland. While the Eagles have refused to move him to safety, the Browns could make the position switch work. Douglas has produced five interceptions over the last two seasons, making plays on the ball at the cornerback position. At safety, the 6-foot-2, 209-pound defensive back could keep his eyes on the ball and snatch it out of the air while facing the quarterback.

With both Douglas and Ogbah on rookie deals, the trade really wouldn’t impact either team’s salary cap space. It would also open up opportunities for both players and fill depth needs for both teams.
