No decision maker in the NFL likes to make moves like Howie Roseman.
The Executive Vice President of Eagles Football Operations has made more transactions than any other general manager since 2010. In 2016, he dispatched quarterback Sam Bradford a few months after signing it to a new contract. Last season, he traded receiver Jordan Matthews during the training camp.
The lesson? Almost no player in the Eagles' lineup is safe.
The start of the training camp means that it's almost time for Roseman to start tweaking his alignment again. The trades will be done. It's just a question of when and how much.
Here is an estimate of what another team could offer to the Eagles to make an exchange for each player in the lineup:

Carson Wentz
Analysis: Much has changed since Wentz lost a torn ACL last December. His team won the Super Bowl. Backup quarterback Nick Foles was MVP of the game. Wentz might not be on the ground for week 1.
The idea of trading Eagles Wentz is still crazy.
Even with all that has happened, it's hard to see the Eagles accepting an offer for Wentz. Having Fols on the list makes little [39] an interesting decision if they were really blown away. Brief of that? Wentz remains the most important player on this list.
Market value: A minimum of three first round selections
Nick Foles
Analysis: The price tag on Foles is apparently two first-round picks. This probably does not happen.
The Eagles would probably consider trading Fons if they were offered a first-round pick at some point during the training camp. That choice to be in the top-15 would probably lead them to pull the trigger.
Market value: First round selection
Nate Sudfeld
Analysis: The value of Sudfeld is interesting to consider since it has value in many ways.
Sudfeld is a valuable member of the quarterback room and has all the tools needed for a developing quarterback. . He is very close to Wentz. It would be the best backup if Wentz went down again. He knows the offense as the back of his hand.
Will the Eagles move Sudfeld? Yes. But their asking price would be considerably higher than almost any other third-string quarterback in the NFL.
Market value: Third Round Pick
Alshon Jeffery
Analysis: Jeffrey brings a lot to the offensive. He also seems primed for a great second season with the Eagles. Jeffery was targeted 120 times in 2017 and captured only 47.5% of these targets. This number is expected to rise next season with a year of play with Wentz to his credit.
Add that Jeffery has a reasonable contract and the asking price on Jeffery is probably very high.
Value of the exchange: 1st round plus additional choice
