Eagles Trade Proposal Sends Seahawks 26-Year-Old Edge to Philly

Boye Mafe is now entering Year 4 with the Seattle Seahawks, and it’ll be a pivotal one for the 26-year-old edge rusher.

Mafe entered the league in 2022 as a second-round pick (40th overall) out of Minnesota, signing a four‑year rookie deal worth about $8.56 million with over $6.3 million guaranteed. The franchise tag will be an option for the Seahawks once the 2025 season concludes, but retaining him means they may also have to plan for a future extension, so a trade could also be an option.

After stalwart veteran Brandon Graham to retirement and Josh Sweat to free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles are thin on dependable, long-term edge talent. Could a trade for Mafe be a good thing for the Eagles in the long term?

Let’s discuss.
