While Philadelphia already boasts a deep and talented secondary - ranked No. 1 in passing yards allowed in 2024 - Bennett offers valuable depth behind a strong
cornerback
group that includes Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Kelee Ringo, Adoree' Jackson, and Mac McWilliams.
Booker, originally a fifth-round pick by the
Houston Texans
in 2022, played in all 17 regular-season games for the Eagles last year, notching 18 tackles and a sack. He adds needed depth to a Raiders interior defensive line that recently saw changes, including the release of
Christian Wilkins
.
Though not a blockbuster move, the trade is a classic training camp transaction - teams swapping depth pieces to better align with roster needs as they evaluate talent ahead of final cuts.

Philadelphia Eagles trade DT Thomas Booker IV to Las Vegas Raiders for CB Jakorian Bennett
(Image via Getty: Thomas Booker IV and Jakorian Bennett) Training camp is a period of heated trade exchanges and intense practice. Every NFL team solidifies its 53-man roster before the season begins–because once the season's on, no chances can be drawn or called upon. Keeping this in mind, Nick Sirianni's Philadelphia Eagles are trading their defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV in exchange for Pete Carroll's Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Jakorian Bennett. NFL Insider Adam Schefter introduced this trade exchange to cyberspace Adam Schefter wrote on X, 'Trade: Raiders are sending CB Jakorian Bennett to the Eagles in exchange for DT Thomas Booker IV, per sources.' Another NFL Insider, Ian Rapoport, further elaborated, 'The #Eagles acquire CB Jakorian Bennett, a former fourth round, while the #Raiders beef up their D-line with Thomas Booker, a former fifth round DT.' How did cyberspace react? Let's discover. How many cornerbacks do the Philadelphia Eagles need? Ian Rapoport's X declaration attracted a lot of questions. From–Is cornerback Jakorian Bennett any good–to–How many cornerbacks do the Eagles need. The question is sincere because the Eagles already have six, let us repeat, six cornerbacks in their active roster: Adoree' Jackson Eli Ricks Quinyon Mitchell Mac McWilliams Kelee Ringo Parry Nickerson Just days before their first 2025 preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Super Bowl LIX-winning team amplified their cornerback space with Las Vegas Raiders CB Jakorian Bennett. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Now, coming to the other question–How good is Bennett? Jakorian Bennett stats The Raiders drafted the 24-year-old cornerback in the 2023 NFL Draft as their fourth-round, 104th overall pick. He played two seasons for them. Jakorian accumulated 58 total tackles, 39 solo tackles, 19 assist tackles, and 11 passes defended in a total of 24 games played. When many netizens were doubting Bennett's capabilities, one fan felt confident for him, 'Now look how he miraculously makes to pro bowl.' Who's going to take Bennett's place in Pete Carroll's team? Eagles (now, former) defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV. Let's discuss him. Philadelphia Eagles fans–Thomas Booker IV any good? When fans were doubting Jakorian's capabilities for the reigning champions–Philadelphia Eagles, they did not spare Las Vegas Raiders' newest entrant either. A fan questioned–Eagles fans, Booker any good? While another assuredly wrote, 'Texans legend headed to Vegas.' The Houston Texans drafted the 25-year-old DT in the 2022 NFL draft as their fifth-round, 150th overall pick. Booker IV played for just one season for them. He got traded to the Eagles in the 2023 season. The next season? He became a Super Bowl LIX champion! What do his stats look like?

Last year, Booker IV accumulated 18 tackles and a sack in 17 games played for the Eagles. Booker IV will take up the space left by Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Christian Wilkins was released from Las Vegas Raiders for kissing teammate on head On July 28, a source told Adam Schefter that Christian Wilkins was released by the Las Vegas Raiders for kissing a fellow team player on the head. The teammate took offense and complained to the human resources department. The department investigated the incident. Raiders head coach Pete Carroll did not want to comment on it– 'I have no comment to make. We made a decision on what we're doing, and we're moving with it.' Another Raiders DT, Adam Butler, told ESPN, 'Whatever you're going through as a person, athlete, non-athlete or whoever, whatever your struggle is, if you've got something going on in life, just talk to somebody. Get some therapy. Somebody out there in this world will hear you out.' Apart from this incident, another reason for Wilkins' departure was that he was recovering from a Jones fracture–a broken bone on the pinky toe side of the foot.
