What you should knowThe NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m., and the Eagles (6-2) are expected to be active. Though the last two years the Birds have been quiet.On Monday, the Birds acquired edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins.

The Eagles are trying to defend their Super Bowl title, and they have a two-headed WR monster with Brown and DeVonta Smith. Taking Brown out of the equation would lessen Philly's chances of repeating, and it doesn't seem like Brown is so ticked off that he can't stick around and make another run at it.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman wanted to keep his post-trade deadline press conference purely about the players who are coming in to try and boost the team.

The Eagles have now made three trades ahead of this year's deadline. What else does Howie Roseman have up his sleeve?

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has made three trades in six days, adding depth at cornerback and edge rusher with the acquisitions of cornerback Jaire Alexander, slot cornerback Michael Carter II and pass rusher Jaelan Phillips. Roseman could make a few more moves before the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

Jaelan Phillips is a talented pass rusher and former first-round pick who immediately will help to bolster the Eagles' pass rush, which has been lacking this season so far. Despite this, it's still worth following along with all of the speculation around the Eagles in the final few hours ahead of the trade deadline.
