A second-round pick in 2022, Ebiketie's 25 solo tackles was inside the top 10 of Eagles defenders. Him being among Philadelphia's leading tacklers is even more impressive when considering he was a rotational piece for the Eagles defense, playing just under 50% (48%) of the team's defensive snaps so far this season. Once the deal is official, he'll reinforce a Cincinnati defensive line that includes offseason acquisition Boye Mafe and former first-round pick Myles Murphy on the edges. Ebiketie's arrival is also sure to push former first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart down Cincinnati's depth chart. Through eight games this year, Stewart has only played 33 defensive snaps for Cincinnati. A product of Temple and Penn State, Ebiketie signed with Philadelphia this offseason to a one-year deal. Spotrac estimates his base salary at $1.3 million, with a $650,000 cap hit. Cincinnati still has seven draft picks for the 2027 draft, with picks in each round, except for the sixth. The Bengals are also owners of two third-round selections. The move is the first the Bengals have made ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, which becomes official at 4 p.m. Make WLWT a preferred source on Google Add Preferred Source Share Infinite Scroll Enabled Top Picks Inflation numbers are in.
