Bengals Back Out of a Trade for Eagles Edge Rusher
The Bengals reversed the deal after realizing Ebiketie’s arrival would likely cost them a projected 2027 third-round compensatory pick, sources said.
- On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Bengals acquired defensive end Arnold Ebiketie from the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
- Currently 2-7, Philadelphia is retooling its roster, while the Bengals sought pass rush reinforcements after placing rookie Cashius Howell on injured reserve last week.
- The 27-year-old defensive end has 16.5 career sacks and 25 total tackles this season, carrying a $650,000 cap hit on an expiring contract with Cincinnati.
- Reinforcing a defensive line featuring edge rushers Boye Mafe and Myles Murphy, the move pushes rookie Shemar Stewart down the depth chart before Sunday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Tied for first in the AFC North with a 6-2 record, Cincinnati pursues a Super Bowl run while ESPN's FPI projects a 79.5% chance to win the division.
