Eagles trading safety Sydney Brown to Falcons in late-round pick swap

Philadelphia's secondary continues to undergo changes ahead of the 2026 season.

The Eagles are sending safety Sydney Brown to the Atlanta Falcons in a trade that includes a swap of multiple late-round draft picks, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported Friday, per sources.

Philly will receive fourth- (No. 114) and sixth-round (No. 197) picks in the 2026 draft from Atlanta in exchange for Brown, a fourth-rounder (No. 122) and a sixth-rounder (No. 215), per The Insiders.

A third-round pick in 2023, Brown made nine total starts in three seasons with the Eagles. He's totaled two interceptions, two forced fumbles, five pass break-ups and 86 tackles in 42 games.

The Falcons add experienced depth to their secondary with the acquisition of Brown, who's poised to back up Jessie Bates and Xavier Watts.

Brown's exit from Philadelphia is the latest change to a secondary that saw fellow safety Reed Blankenship head to Houston via free agency. The Eagles signed Tariq Woolen this offseason to shore up their cornerback unit alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.
