The Eagles are undefeated and one of the most talented teams in the NFL, but you can never have enough quality depth. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, Jay Glazer says the Birds could look to add a running back if the team does make a move.

Through seven games this season, Hunt has 66 carries for 263 yards and three touchdowns while splitting carries with the great Nick Chubb.

The 49ers were already four deep at running back before trading for Christian McCaffrey.
Wilson and/or Elijah Mitchell could be moved, and the 25-year-old is a player that Philadelphia should inquire about. Wilson is in his fifth season with the 49ers and has rushed for 454 yards and two touchdowns on 88 carries. In McCaffrey’s debut on Sunday, Wilson had a season-low 22 rushing yards.

A talented dual-threat running back, Gibson logged a 1,037-yard season in 2021 and, through the first four games of the season, had 53 carries for 173 yards and two touchdowns. With Brian Robinson taking over in Washington, Gibson could play multiple roles for the Birds.
