Philadelphia Eagles have acquired D'Andre Swift after the Detroit Lions decided to trade the star running back following their capture of Jahmyr Gibbs in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft.
According to The Athletic, the Eagles obtained Swift and the Lions’ seventh-round pick (No 249) in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025 and a seventh-round pick (No 219) this year. The move will be a homecoming for Swift, who is from Philadelphia and went to high school less than 10 miles from the Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field.
Ahead of the trade, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said: “Yeah, I mean, D'Andre, he's still on our roster. He's still part of our team. He's still under contract with us. He's a dynamic football player. So, [the Gibbs pick] hasn't really changed the math there yet, but, you know, it is early.”
