Late Monday night, the Eagles traded defensive lineman Thomas Booker to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for cornerback Jakorian Bennett.
The move came as a surprise as Philadelphia traded the 25-year-old Booker, who was a rotational player from their Super Bowl-59 winning squad.
Booker played in 21 games, including the playoffs, for the Eagles, but never started a single game due to the presence of Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
But Philly’s new addition, Bennett, is seen as a cornerback with plenty of potential.
The 24-year-old has started in 11 games over the past two campaigns.
The Maryland product Bennett is the only cornerback in the NFL with 300-plus defensive snaps without allowing a touchdown last season.
The 2023 fourth-round pick also allowed less than 5.5 yards per target.
And opposing quarterbacks posted a passer rating of just 57.9 against him.
Bennett also played through a torn labrum, which made his season even more impressive.
Fans have praised the Eagles’ addition of the third-year veteran on social media.
“Bennett is a stud… nice work Eagles,” one wrote.
“Knowing the Eagles, Bennett will become an all pro,” a second added.
“Great trade for the eagles this guy was very good, on a bad raiders secondary last year,” a third said.
“The Raiders just handed Philly one of the most underrated young CBs in the league…,” a fourth added.
