3 Worst Trades in Eagles History

Much like their performances in recent years, the Eagles have a wildly inconsistent trade history.

Reliving these true lows for the franchise might give fans painful flashbacks to former head coach Chip Kelly and the struggles of the late '90s, but a true fan sticks with their squad through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

3. Tanking Their Draft to Get Mike Mamula

This trade turned out so badly that it's used as a cautionary tale now. The Birds lost a first-rounder and two second-round draft picks to trade up from No. 12 to No. 7 in the 1995 draft because they fell in love with Mamula's absurd Combine performances. However, those numbers didn't translate on the field. He played for five seasons and was utterly mediocre.

2. LeSean McCoy for Kiko Alonso

Shady was a Philadelphia icon and one of the worst casualties of Chip Kelly's reign of terror. McCoy still holds the Eagles' all-time rushing record and has six Pro-Bowl selections under his belt — three of which came after he was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2015. Alonso was invisible as an Eagle, posting only one start during his single-year stint in Philly.

1. Nick Foles for Sam Bradford

Philly fans are thankful that they got a second chance at Foles, because the 2018 Super Bowl run would not have happened with Bradford leading the team. Not only did they give up a solid QB in Foles, but they also lost two lower-round draft picks for Bradford to play one average season in midnight green. As a former first-rounder, fans expected a lot more from Bradford and were majorly disappointed.
