In exchange, Cincinnati was set to give their 2027 sixth-round pick to the Eagles. However, according to Rapoport, the trade has been called off. This content is imported from x.

The #Bengals have now called off this trade with an eye toward keeping a future comp pick they would've lost with this deal. Agreement was reached, but not official. https://t.co/Fhe51RD7TP — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 10, 2026 The issue holding up the trade appears to be a future compensatory pick. This year, the Bengals have a third-round comp pick, which they received after Trey Hendrickson departed in free agency this past offseason. Ebiketie signed a one-year deal with Philly this past offseason after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons, who drafted him in the second round of the 2022 draft. The trade would have been a "rental" move for the Bengal, with no guarantee that Ebiketie would stay in Cincinnati past this season. It would appear Cincinnati values that third-round comp pick, which would give them two third-round selections in this coming NFL draft. This content is imported from x.

Going through with it may have cost them their third-round compensatory pick they're receiving for Trey Hendrickson's departure. @WLWT https://t.co/kUdS4sdY8u — Jaron May (@jaron_may) November 10, 2026 Without a move on Tuesday, Cincinnati will look to ride offseason acquisition Boye Mafe and former first-round pick Myles Murphy on the edges along the defensive line. Cincinnati currently has eight picks in next year's draft: One in every round, plus its comp pick in the third round. The Bengals could still make a move on Tuesday, with the trade deadline set for 4 p.m. Make WLWT a preferred source on Google Add Preferred Source Share Infinite Scroll Enabled Top Picks Stacy Keach, star of stage and 'Mike Hammer' series, dies at 85 Video shows small plane clipping pickup truck while landing on busy Florida road Ole Miss student apologizes after video showing women making racist gestures sparks backlash Democrats will now control more states.
