Welcome to The Linc, the daily Philadelphia Eagles links roundup at Bleeding Green Nation!
I don’t think the Giants will be trading for Saquon Barkley. But the G-Men sure could be buyers as they currently approach the NFL trade deadline with an NFC East lead.
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
Giants receive: Saquon Barkley … Eagles receive: Cam Skattebo, 2027 second-round pick, 2027 sixth-round pick … In such a weak NFC East, the division-leading Giants have a path to the playoffs, but they need a functional run game to get there. Even with their abundance of options, it seems John Harbaugh does not know who to deploy at running back (especially if you ask Najee Harris). Reuniting with Barkley eliminates all questions. Plus, Harbaugh himself said this week that it would be “great” to be in a “Saquon Barkley circumstance” where the Giants had a clear-cut No. 1 ballcarrier. A return to New York makes plenty of sense for Barkley, but it would likely cost the Giants a premium to pull it off, given the intra-division nature of the trade. For multiple years of control of the Eagles’ star running back, they may have to part with their own top running back asset in addition to meaningful draft capital.
Eagles vs. Cowboys Week 7 game information – BGN
The Philadelphia Eagles are now 2-4 heading into their Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and both NFC East teams desperately need a win. Expectations have changed a lot for the Eagles, whose list of injured players includes nearly half of the active 53-man roster, but this is still a rivalry game in Philadelphia on Monday night. It might not be the same as when Jalen Hurts greets the team out of the tunnel, but they are getting some guys back, including Saquon Barkley.
‘Other’ potentially outgoing Eagles players who make sense as trade bait – PhillyVoice
RG Tyler Steen (26). Why should the Eagles trade him? Steen is scheduled to be a free agent next offseason, and the Eagles may not be willing to afford what he could be paid on the open market. Note: Steen is a more valuable trade chip than Landon Dickerson, in my opinion, but we didn’t include him in the original batch of valuable, tradable players on the premise that the Eagles would need him just to get through the season. But that was before it was revealed that Jalen Hurts was done for the season. Now? “Getting through this season” isn’t quite as important. Why should other teams trade for him? There are always teams in desperate need of offensive line help, and Steen is a decent enough starter. Trade value: Fourth- and sixth-round picks.
Breaking down Cowboys-Eagles MNF matchup in wide-open NFC East – ESPN
Nick Sirianni has a 61-28 record since taking over as coach in Philadelphia, has led the team to five playoff appearances in as many seasons and has gotten to the Super Bowl twice, winning one of them. You’d think he’d have a good bit of equity built up. That’s being tested in 2026 with the Eagles in a four-game skid, dropping their record to 5-9 over the past 14 games dating to last season. Sirianni’s in-game decision-making has had a hand in the current losing streak, though a depleted roster hit by injury, retirement (Lane Johnson) and trade (Cam Jurgens) is the primary culprit. The offense is lost right now and has had its share of issues during his tenure. Sirianni is a former offensive coordinator but the Eagles have outsourced a good chunk of those responsibilities, with mixed results. If they hit on their offensive coordinator, the team tends to have great success and that OC often moves on to become a head coach. If they miss, the offense sags, the OC gets let go and they’re back on the merry-go-round. It remains to be seen if that’s a ride management wants to continue to sign up for.
Eagles-Cowboys questions: More on the Jalen Hurts saga, Saquon Barkley’s return – The Athletic
Berman: My prevailing takeaway is that the Cowboys have the talent advantage. In the past five years, there haven’t been many times when you felt the Eagles entered games with inferior personnel, but injuries and exits have made that the Eagles’ reality. That will be the difference Monday. Both teams are struggling and underperforming. Both teams badly need a win. I don’t see enough offensive firepower from the Eagles, and I’m not sure they’ll have enough of a pass rush to limit the Cowboys. The path to a win is a strong ground game to control the clock and Vic Fangio’s unit pressuring Dak Prescott and limiting Dallas to field goals. The Eagles have lost four straight and are home underdogs for a reason. A bad season gets worse Monday. Cowboys 24, Eagles 21
NFL, NFLPA are “working together” to review Jalen Hurts situation – PFT
As another full Sunday of football approaches, there’s a new development in the situation regarding Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is likely out for the rest of the year after a “superficial” blood clot became a deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in each lung. “The NFL and NFL Players Association are working together to review the matter,” the league and the union said in a joint statement. This implies that the NFLPA, as mentioned earlier today, has not yet officially exercised its unilateral right to conduct an investigation under Article 39, Section 5(f) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Still, some sort of an investigation is inevitable.
How Kenny Moore II gained perspective in a unique offseason – NBCSP
Kenny Moore II grew up loving scrapbooks. He loved seeing pictures on the wall. He loved creating that art. Truth be told, he wanted to be a photographer. Then he became a professional football player and that’s a good life too. But he missed photography. “In the football environment, I put the camera down,” Moore said a few weeks ago, “because I felt like art and sports were just not a thing, like you shouldn’t do this. So I did that for a couple years. Because I put myself in a space that football is all that matters.” In the la
