Eagles Trade Center Cam Jurgens to Ravens for Draft Picks

The Philadelphia Eagles have made a trade.

Trade Details: What Philadelphia Receives in Return

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team is sending center Cam Jurgens and a seventh-round pick to Baltimore in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a second-round pick in 2028.

The Eagles' 2028 draft now consists of two firsts and two second-round picks.

Former Eagles center Jason Kelce was on the Pat McAfee show and said: "I'm excited for him to be able to go back to the center position; he meant a lot to the Philadelphia Eagles."

Why Baltimore Targeted Jurgens

The deal sends Jurgens, the Eagles' starting center during their 2024 Super Bowl-winning season, to Baltimore, which has already played three different centers (Danny Pinter, Jovaughn Gwyn, and Ethan Pocic) this season after losing Tyler Linderbaum.

How Drew Kendall Made Jurgens Expendable

Jurgens thrived as the replacement for Kelce, who retired after the 2023 season, but had a rough season in 2025.  Jurgens signed a four-year, $68 million extension in 2025, but was dealing with a back injury that forced him to miss part of the NFC Championship Game in 2025 during the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl.

He started the 2026 season at center, but moved to left guard following an injury to Landon Dickerson after Week 1. He struggled at left guard, and the Eagles found a potential cheaper replacement in 2025 fifth-roundpick Drew Kendall, who has played well at center.

While Sirianni said he was pleased with where Jurgens was, he did acknowledge, "there's going to be plays he wants back, but there's good moments also."

Jurgens was a hand-picked replacement for Kelce, with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Salary Cap Implications for Howie Roseman & Eagles

The move gives Philadelphia $27.4 million in cap savings over the next four seasons; Jurgens is under contract for the next four years and has a $1 million salary-cap figure this season and a $4.5 million salary-cap figure next season.

Jurgens signed a four-year, $68 million extension in 2025.
