The Eagles have traded DB Sydney Brown to the Falcons. In exchange, Philadelphia receives picks No. 114 and 197. Atlanta gets picks No. 122 and 215, along with Brown.
Eagles Roster Changes at Safety
The deal to send Brown to the Falcons comes days after the Eagles used a 2027 seventh-round pick to Carolina in order to acquire backup quarterback Andy Dalton.
The off-season focus was expected to be on upgrading the roster, with the biggest move potentially coming at the safety position. Andrew Mukuba and Andre Sam were the only safeties on the depth chart along with Brown.
Brown’s Time with Philadelphia
Brown was entering his fourth year. Most of his playing time came on special teams.
The Eagles drafted Andrew Mukuba in the second round last spring and felt so uneasy with Brown in the lineup that Marcus Epps eventually regained a starting role.
Brown played 249 snaps on defense and had a 58.1 grade in coverage. Overall, Brown posted 20 tackles (11 solo) across 249 defensive snaps in 17 appearances (three starts), and also added 14 special teams tackles.
The move takes another safety off the Eagles roster as they reshape their draft capital ahead of selection weekend.
