Shortly after the NFL's trade deadline passed at 4:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman spoke with the media to discuss the three trades that he made, plus a few others that he did not make. Here are my biggest takeaways from that session.

1) What does Howie like about Jaelan Phillips?

Roseman

#JimmySays : There's little doubt Phillips can play. It's just... can he stay healthy?

2) The Eagles a bit of a leap of faith on Philips' injury history.

Roseman

#JimmySays : Phillips tore his Achilles in 2023, and his ACL in 2024. There's not a lot of mystery to those injuries these days, but certainly the Eagles are taking at least a little bit of a gamble that he is past them.

3) Why did Howie make the trades for CB Jaire Alexander and slot CB Michael Carter II?
