Atlanta acquired defensive back Sydney Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles, pending a physical, in exchange for swap of 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks (Falcons send 114 and 197 for 122 and 215), boosting safety depth behind starters Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts.
The Eagles traded safety Sydney Brown to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a swap of fourth- and sixth-round picks: Philadelphia receives picks No. 114 and 197, while Atlanta gets No. 122 and 215, in addition to Brown. Brown, 26, is in the final year of his contract after three seasons in Philadelphia (a 2023 third-round pick) and posted 86 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in his career; he appeared in all 17 games with three starts in 2025, contributing on defense and special teams.
Philadelphia Eagles' rookie Jalen Carter continues to impress with his dominant performance on the field, contributing to the team's victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carter showcased his skills in pass rushing, forcing turnovers, and opening up opportunities for his teammates. Other rookies, such as Nolan Smith and Sydney Brown, also made positive contributions, but injuries in the secondary remain a concern.
The Philadelphia Eagles face a quick turnaround as they prepare to play the Minnesota Vikings, posing a unique challenge for their rookies. Jalen Carter impressed in his debut, generating 8 pressures on 40 snaps, but questions remain about his performance against stronger offensive linemen. Nolan Smith's role may expand due to Nakobe Dean's absence, and fans are eager to see Sydney Brown, who showed promise in preseason, potentially getting more playing time at safety.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Illinois safety Sydney Brown with the No. 66 overall pick in the NFL Draft, creating a potential training camp battle at the safety position. Brown was a five-year starter and team captain in 2022, and his extensive starting experience could give him a chance to earn a starting job alongside free-agent addition Terrell Edmunds. The pick is a departure from the Eagles' recent history, as they haven't drafted a safety this high since 2011.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Steen and Illinois safety Sydney Brown on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Steen, who has experience at left tackle, is expected to provide depth at guard and tackle positions. Brown, a versatile safety who can play in the box and cover tight ends, could potentially start in Week 1. The Eagles traded down to acquire additional late-round picks and emphasized their organizational emphasis on building along the offensive line. The progress of Steen and Brown will be evidence of talent identification and development.
The Atlanta Falcons are set to make their picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, with the eighth overall pick in the first round.

The Falcons are looking to bolster their offensive line and add depth to their defense and receiving corps.
