In between getting ready for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday early in the day, losing to them in the afternoon, and flying home at night, it looks like Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has caught wind of rumors his team could be in the market for a new safety or wide receivers.

News that apparently gave him a good laugh.

"I think some of those rumors that are out there...I kind of chuckle at to be honest with you," said Kelly during an interview Monday morning on 94WIP. "I think the trade deadline is a little overblown in the NFL. I don't anticipate us doing anything."

If the Eagles do change their minds, they have until Tuesday at 4 p.m. to make something happen. Although Kelly laughed them off, rumors are circulating that the team is interested in Tampa Bay wide receiver Vincent Jackson.

Kelly did not mention Jackson by name, but he did say that he does not see the need to make major changes to a roster that currently sits at 5-2.

"I'm very happy with the team we have right now," Kelly said. "I love the guys we have. I love the way we compete. I love the way they preform. I love the effort and what they bring to the game and training sessions we have."

Whether or not Kelly is telling the truth remains to be seen, but his track record suggests he is. The Eagles weathered a storm early in the season on their offensive line due to injuries and a suspension, and instead of trading for outside help, the team went with a combination of rookies and journeymen who had been with the team through training camp.

NFL RUMORS:

What safeties could Eagles trade for?

Since arriving in Philadelphia, Kelly has shown that he prefers to reward those who have been with the team when the moment arrives for them to play, as opposed to reaching for outside help.

Still, despite his track record, the performance of his secondary against the Cardinals might make Kelly reverse his game plan. Safety Nate Allen was burned badly on the game-winning touchdown thrown by Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer to receiver John Brown, a 75-yard score that was just another bump in the road in what has been a long season for Allen.

Even though he took blame for the play, you have to wonder if Kelly will give him another chance to make up for it.

Especially since, despite saying he doesn't think a move will be made, Kelly did leave the door open ever-so slightly.

"If there is something that can help us, that is the right price for where we have go, then you look at it," Kelly said, "but I think a lot of those (rumors) are a lot more wild than our reality."
