Eagles Trade Idea: 'Landing Spot' For Aaron Donald?
The Philadelphia Eagles' roster is loaded with superstars across various positions. But what could it be like to add one of the sport's biggest superstars to the mix?
A recent article published by Bleacher Report proposed a trade that would send future Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald from the Los Angeles Rams to the Eagles as they aim to make another run at the Super Bowl for the second straight year.
"The Philadelphia Eagles are one team that may not seem like an obvious landing spot for Donald, but they would benefit more than most from acquiring him. Adding a player of his caliber to a defense that already reached the Super Bowl last year could push this group over the top in 2023," Bleacher Report writes.
Additionally, Bleacher Report revealed that the price the Eagles would have to pay for Donald would likely be a first-round pick and possibly more than that.
"The Eagles would likely have to send over at least a first-round pick and possibly more to pry Donald away from the only franchise he's ever played for, but the move would be worth it," Bleacher Report writes.
Although the cost might appear steep, it would justify itself for the Eagles. Adding the nine-time Pro Bowler would catapult Philadelphia's defensive line to unparalleled excellence as they seek to build upon their franchise-best record of 70 total sacks in a single season. If the Eagles were to execute this move before the start of the season, it would undeniably solidify their status as indisputable favorites for the Super Bowl.
