The Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a trade sending edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to Cincinnati for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to multiple reports Tuesday morning. The move came ahead of the 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline and before the Bengals' Week 10 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers for first place in the AFC North. Cincinnati sought defensive line depth after rookie Cashius Howell suffered an injury, and the trade would have brought in a 27-year-old pass rusher on a one-year, $7.3 million contract who had 25 tackles and two quarterback hits in nine games this season.

Hours after the initial agreement, the Bengals called off the trade. NFL Network reported the cancellation stemmed from a disagreement over the compensatory pick formula, and ESPN confirmed the Bengals nixed the agreed-upon deal. The Eagles had already made one high-profile move earlier, trading defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars, which had fueled speculation about a potential fire sale in Philadelphia. Ebiketie, a 2022 second-round pick out of Penn State, spent his first four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons before signing with the Eagles in March. His best statistical season came in 2024, when he recorded 38 tackles, six sacks, six tackles for loss, and 12 quarterback hits.
