The Eagles have drawn questions about their defensive-line plans after extending Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, while the Giants are exploring roster upgrades without treating a trade as a quick fix. New York coach John Harbaugh says any deal must improve the team both now and later. Receiver Malik Nabers, meanwhile, defended his visible frustration as an attempt to spark a slow-starting offense.

By the Numbers
  • The Giants are 5-2-1, leading the NFC East by 1.5 games.
  • Philadelphia’s extensions for Carter and Davis total $64 million per year.
  • The Eagles traded Davis to Jacksonville for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
  • Ojomo could command more than $20 million, according to the report.
Yes, But

The Giants are making calls, but Harbaugh rejected the idea that one addition will put them over the top. He said the team will weigh each opportunity for both short- and long-term value, and no move is imminent. A trade for Jonathan Taylor now appears unlikely; an interior defensive lineman may be a more plausible target.

State of Play
  • New York is evaluating potential trades while expressing confidence in its current roster.
  • Harbaugh expects quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Cam Skattebo to be available Thursday night.
  • Nabers said his frustration came from the offense’s sluggish start, not a lack of commitment to winning.
  • Other teams are watching Philadelphia’s defensive-line decisions, including whether the Eagles might move Carter and extend Ojomo.
What's Next

The Giants could still make a deal if the right fit emerges, with the defensive interior reportedly a likelier focus than Taylor. Philadelphia’s plans for its defensive line—and any potential Ojomo extension—remain unresolved.

Bottom Line

Both teams are balancing immediate needs against future flexibility: New York wants a deal that adds lasting value, while Philadelphia faces consequential choices about how much to invest in its defensive front.
