The NFL trade deadline is a week away. Things are heating up and prices aren't cheap.
The Texans traded a third-round pick to the Raiders for cornerback Gareon Conley and the Patriots traded a second-round pick to the Falcons for WR Mohamed Sanu.
So if the Eagles are going to make a trade by the deadline of 4 p.m. on Oct. 29, it might be expensive. And with so many needs, it's fair to ask whether or not it's even worth bringing in one player.
But Roseman has traditionally been an aggressive GM and he has brought in a player at the deadline in each of the last two seasons. The Eagles were 4-4 when they brought in Golden Tate last season and if they win on Sunday, they'd be 4-4 just before the deadline again.
So if Roseman does want to pull off a trade, here are 11 players who would make some sense:

In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia
Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson
We're not going to have this story without Peterson, who is always in these conversations. Even after Jalen Mills came back and with Ronald Darby and Cre'Von LeBlanc nearing returns, Peterson would still be a great improvement. He's an eight-time Pro Bowler who would immediately make a difference. It would likely take a first-round pick to get him from the Cardinals.
Broncos CB Chris Harris
The 30-year-old from Denver likely wouldn't be as expensive, but if Conley brought back a third-round pick, maybe Harris would be more expensive than we thought. Harris is at his best in the nickel corner role but could really play anywhere.
Falcons CB Desmond Trufant
After trading Sanu, we know the Falcons are willing to sell. They got a second-rounder from New England, but we all kind of understand that's probably going to be the last or second-to-last pick in the round. The Falcons will want a first-round pick for Trufant, which is steep, but maybe they'll be eager to dump his salary for a second.
Bengals DT Geno Atkins
It seems like the Bengals don't want to sell, but they stink and Atkins is 31. After losing Malik Jackson and then Tim Jernigan, the Eagles have really been lacking interior pass rush next to Fletcher Cox. Atkins has a few more expensive years left on his deal but would make an immediate impact.
Jets DT Leonard Williams
The Jets have said they don't want to trade Williams, but he's in the final year of his contract (a fifth-year option season) and he was a first-round pick of a previous GM. The Eagles also obviously have a pretty close relationship with the Jets' current GM, Joe Douglas. Williams wants big money, which might be a problem since the Eagles already have big money committed to Cox. Maybe he'd be too expensive as a rental, but it's worth a call.
Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders
He's 32, so we're not talking about a building block for the future, but Sanders would help a receiving corps in Philly that has been mostly awful. Maybe a fourth-round pick would get it done.
Jets WR Robby Anderson
The 26-year-old is on that sinking ship in New York and has plenty of downfield speed. The Eagles have missed the deep threat DeSean Jackson was supposed to provide.
Dolphins WR DeVante Parker
The Dolphins have seemingly traded everyone else, so why not Parker? He could definitely use a change of scenery and is still on a pretty team-friendly deal for two years. He isn't having a great year but is averaging 15.8 yards per catch.
Bengals WR A.J. Green
I don't know what it would cost and Green is 31 and coming off an ankle injury, but it's worth a call. He isn't expected to return until after the trade deadline, which makes things tricky.
Broncos EDGE Von Miller
Miller was at the Eagles-Cowboys game in Dallas on Sunday, so unfortunately he watched that butt-whooping. I'd put this in the "worth a call" category.
Bengals EDGE Carlos Dunlap
The Bengals should really be selling and the Eagles need more pass rush. He's 30 and signed through 2021.
