In exchange, the Eagles are receiving a 2027 sixth-round pick. This is now their second trade in as many days. Yesterday, they dealt defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars (details here).
The trade marks the first for the Bengals during the regular season since 2024, when they traded for running back Khalil Herbert in a deal with the Chicago Bears.
Ebiketie, 27, spent the first four years of his career with the Falcons after being selected 38th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.
His 25 tackles this season with the Eagles are already 13 short of tying a career high that he set in 2024. Since being drafted, Ebiketie has missed only one game, and that was during his rookie year.
Last season was the first in which Ebiketie didn't finish with double-digit quarterback hits (6). He has only two so far this season, and no sacks, despite having 10 pressures. His 66.0 run defense grade ranks 41st among all EDGE defenders.
He'll be joining a Bengals defense that ranks 25th overall this year (pass - 21st, rush - 25th). They're currently 6-2 and will be facing off against their hated rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night (November 15th) to see who will claim sole possession of the AFC North heading into next week.
