Philadelphia Eagles Plug in Roster Holes, Complete Trade for 2-Time All-pro Safety Kevin Byard From the Titans

The Tennessee Titans have not been able to score very well this season. Out of the 5 matches they have played, they have suffered defeat in 3 of them which is more than 50%. With only 2 wins this season, it’s almost necessary for the team to take some serious action to avoid the continuation of that. On the other hand, the sky’s the limit for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles have only lost one match this season. They are proudly celebrating their 6 wins. Now, Titans took a step that blew everyone’s mind. They took this measure in order to improve the situation of their team, but will it be helpful for the team?

Eagles traded for safety Kevin Byard

The Eagles will not leave the chance to continue their winning streak whatever it takes. Recently, a trade happened between the Eagles and the Titans which has blown up. After showing the world one of the best defense displays, the Eagles are all set to add one more marquee talent before the trade deadline of the NFL. The trade deal was pretty simple.

The Eagles acquired a Pro Bowl Safety Kevin Byard and in return, they sent their safety Terrell Edmunds to the other side. They also sent two draft picks as well: one of them was a fifth-rounder, and the other one, was a sixth-rounder. The Eagles are not getting their money hit, as the Titans gave $7 million of the $11 million compensation to Byard. It seems like the Eagles have played smart and got what they wanted without giving away too much.

Byard is just earning $4 million
