Bengals grab Eagles edge rusher Ebiketie before deadline

Cincinnati sends Philadelphia a 2027 sixth-round pick for the rotational pass rusher as the Eagles keep reshaping their roster.

The Eagles are still trading players away. Philadelphia sent outside linebacker Arnold Ebiketie to the Bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, with the November 10 trade deadline bearing down.

Ebiketie, 27, signed a one-year deal with the Eagles back in March and spent the season as a rotational edge rusher and special teams contributor, appearing in nine games. For Cincinnati, the move adds another body to a defensive front the team hopes to strengthen as it pushes for a deep playoff run.

For Philadelphia, this is another in a string of roster moves as the deadline approaches, continuing a pattern of significant changes to the team's composition. The price was modest, a sixth-round pick two years out, reflecting Ebiketie's role as a depth piece rather than a starter.

No further details on the trade's structure or additional conditions have been reported.
