Rumor: Eagles could be interested in trading for star QB Kyler Murray

Even though they missed out on Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson, the Eagles could still look to trade for an elite quarterback.

According to Mike Florio, the Eagles might be interested in disgruntled Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. The former first overall pick is demanding a massive contract extension after an underwhelming 2021 season.

The 24-year-old threw 24 touchdowns and ten interceptions this past season before being blown out by the Los Angeles Rams in their Wild Card matchup.

Alongside the Eagles, other interested teams could include the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and the Atlanta Falcons.

Despite the criticisms, Murray has a high ceiling, and any trade would likely have to include multiple first-round picks alongside extending Murray on a lucrative deal.
