Eagles Trade Defensive Tackle Booker for Raiders Cornerback Bennett

The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their cornerback depth by trading defensive lineman Thomas Booker IV to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for cornerback Jakorian Bennett. Bennett, a promising fourth-round pick from 2023, has shown strong performance metrics despite struggles with injuries and a diminishing role under the Raiders' new coaching staff. The Eagles, facing competition at cornerback following Darius Slay's departure, now add Bennett to battle with Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson for playing time. Booker, who played all 17 games last season for the Eagles, was considered a valuable reserve but was traded to fill roster needs. Additionally, the Eagles showed their commitment to defensive talent by moving up slightly in the 2025 NFL Draft to secure linebacker Jihaad Campbell, who is seen as a potential key contributor as the team reshapes its defense despite losses of other key players. These moves underscore the Eagles' active approach to maintaining a strong roster as defending Super Bowl champions.
