Jakorian Bennett-Thomas Booker trade grades: Who won the Eagles-Raiders deal?
The Philadelphia Eagles and Las Vegas Raiders just pulled off a player-for-player trade, as the Raiders sent cornerback Jakorian Bennett to the Eagles for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV. The Eagles needed a bit more depth in the secondary, and the Raiders needed a bit more depth on the defensive line. For each player, this is a chance to press for more playing time with their new teams. However, how did these teams grade out with this player-for-player swap? As you can probably expect, there is a real winner in this, and he is not the general manager for Las Vegas. Let's grade this August NFL trade and determine who got the edge on the deal. Eagles grade Yes, the Eagles won this. Of course they did. We're not sure how the Eagles got Bennett, an ascending talent who flashed real potential with the Raiders, without having to give up any draft capital. Durability has been a bit of a concern for the third-year cornerback, but he could thrive in a rotational role and could even push to start at the second outside corner spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. It's a little trite at this point to pull out the "How did Howie Roseman get away with this?!" sign, but this is a sweet deal for a young player pressing for a higher ceiling. Giving up only Booker, squarely a role player for the Eagles, is a steal for a player who could push for a starting job. Grade: A Raiders grade The player isn't the problem. After the team's surprise release of defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, the Raiders needed more depth in the trenches. Booker earned snaps with the Eagles last year in their stacked defensive tackle room. That alone gives him a pretty good inside track to making the Las Vegas roster and earning playing time with his new team. He may well be a nice add for first-year general manager John Spytek. However, the fact that he didn't even get a low-round draft pick to go along with Booker for Bennett, the superior player who could push to start at cornerback for Philadelphia... rookie mistake. The Raiders will probably regret this deal... not for adding Booker, but for only getting a single player out of trading away a rising player on a rookie deal like Bennett.

Eagles, Raiders agree to trade of young defensive pieces: Sources
The Eagles have agreed to trade defensive lineman Thomas Booker IV to the Raiders for cornerback Jakorian Bennett, according to a league source and sources from both teams. The trade is contingent on physicals for both players. From the Eagles' standpoint, the deal signals how their cornerback battle, between Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson, has stagnated. Ringo has been inconsistent; he's surrendered deep completions and been flagged for pass interference with regularity throughout training camp. The Eagles know how narrow the margin of error is along the defensive perimeter; were it not for Darius Slay's reliable play in the final minutes of last year's NFC divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams, the Eagles might not have advanced to the NFC title game and gone on to win their second Super Bowl. Advertisement It's also worth noting general manager Howie Roseman's lack of significant investments at cornerback after releasing Slay. In a cost-cutting offseason, the Eagles reached an affordable one-year deal with Jackson, who'd been relegated by the New York Giants to a reserve role in 2024, and spent a fifth-round pick on Mac McWilliams. Such moves signaled a belief in Ringo's development. The cornerbacks' collective performance — and McWilliams' recent quad injury — created a sense of urgency, one that defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's plan to travel Quinyon Mitchell with top receivers could not mask. Now, Ringo and Jackson must also fend off the 24-year-old Bennett, who started 11 games over the past two seasons for Las Vegas. From the Raiders' standpoint, Bennett had a rough rookie season in 2023 during which he battled multiple injuries and played poorly, but he rebounded as a starter last year. Still, he couldn't stay healthy. He suffered a torn labrum and had to undergo season-ending surgery after 10 games. The cornerback was ready to go by the time OTAs rolled around, but he quickly fell behind in the team's ongoing cornerback competition. Eric Stokes and Darien Porter handled the majority of the first-team reps while Bennett was entrenched with the backups. Then, during training camp, Bennett was also surpassed by Decamerion Richardson. 'It's nothing that I haven't been through before, you know?' Bennett said last week. 'I always had to get out the mud, you know. And, man, that's nothing I shy away from. That's who I am. I like to persevere. I like to be resilient, and that's when I see the best JB, when I'm just focused on me, focused on just being present and just controlling what I can control at the end of the day.' Stokes, Porter and Richardson all have something that Bennett can't match: size. They fit coach Pete Carroll's archetype for cornerbacks — tall, long and fast. Although Bennett is plenty fast and was practicing well, he's only 5-foot-11. Once it became clear that Bennett likely wasn't going to be in the rotation (barring an injury to one of the other corners), the Raiders decided to move on. Advertisement Booker, 25, gives them another body to potentially replace Christian Wilkins. The Raiders released Wilkins last month without having much on the roster in terms of proven contributors on the interior defensive line. Booker is a bet on potential; the 6-foot-3, 301-pounder was a fifth-round pick of the Texans in 2022, but Houston released him after just one season. The Eagles signed Booker to the practice squad before the 2023 season, and he earned a roster spot last year, appearing in all 17 games and finishing with 18 tackles and one sack on a crowded D-line. He could see more opportunities with the Raiders. (Photo of Jakorian Bennett: Steve Marcus / Getty Images)

Philadelphia Eagles acquire CB Jakorian Bennett in trade with Las Vegas Raiders, reports say
The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired cornerback Jakorian Bennett in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, according to multiple reports. The Eagles sent defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV to the Raiders in the deal. Bennett, 24, was a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in the 2023 NFL draft out of the University of Maryland. Over the last two seasons, Bennett has played in 24 games, including 11 starts. In 10 games in 2024, Bennett had 26 tackles and eight pass deflections. He missed the last seven weeks of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury. Bennett will now join the Eagles in training camp amid a battle for the starting outside corner spot alongside Quinyon Mitchell. Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo are the favorites to win the job, and Eli Ricks is involved in the competition. The Eagles are looking for a new starter next to Mitchell after the team released veteran Darius Slay and lost fellow cornerback Isaiah Rodgers to free agency. When asked if he's seeing any separation between Jackson and Ringo in the battle for the starting job, defense coordinator Vic Fangio said on Monday it's been close. "I think both of them are having a good camp, but it's close and been happy with both of them and we'll see," Fangio said. Booker played in 17 games last season with the Eagles. He had 18 tackles, one sack and two quarterback hits. He joined Philadelphia's practice squad in 2023. He was drafted by the Houston Texans in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft.
