The NFL trade deadline is less than two weeks away and the Philadelphia Eagles are still in need of some help at the cornerback position. The Eagles had a chance to acquire Jalen Ramsey from the Jacksonville Jaguars but they viewed his price as too steep.

Instead, the Los Angeles Rams shipped two first-round picks and a fourth-round selection to acquire the All-Pro cornerback from the Jaguars. That's forced Philadelphia to search for another viable option to bolster their downtrodden secondary.

Through the first six weeks of the season, the Eagles have the 29th ranked pass defense in the NFL. In addition, they have given up 13 passing touchdowns (fourth-most in the NFL). The play of the secondary has attributed to the Eagles' disappointing 3-3 record.

Most recently, the hapless defensive backs of the Eagles were torched for 333 yards and four touchdowns by Kirk Cousins in Week 6. Philadelphia is getting Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby are expected to return from injuries but they won't be nearly enough to solve the issues on the backend of the defense.

After missing out on Ramsey, here are three cornerbacks that the Eagles should consider trading for.

3. Trumaine Johnson

The most unlikely option at cornerback for the Eagles involves them acquiring Trumaine Johnson from the New York Jets. Johnson is in just the second year of the five-year, $72.5 million that he signed before the 2018 season.

Due to this, Howie Roseman could view Johnson as an unwanted commodity for the cap hit he would cause. Furthermore, the Jets cornerback is due $38.5 million from 2020-2022. However, the 29-year-old cornerback has a potential out in his current deal after the 2020 season concludes.

To begin the season, Johnson was benched after the coaching staff began questioning his work ethic. Over the past three weeks, he's been a starter but he hasn't played well; he's allowed 15 receptions on 18 targets.

As bad as he's been in his short stint in New York, maybe playing for a possible contender could revert him back to the corner he was with the Rams. From 2015-2018, Johnson combined for 14 interceptions and 47 deflections with the Rams and Jets.

There's no doubt that Johnson would be one of the cheapest options in terms of how much Philadelphia would have to give up to land him.

2. Chris Harris Jr.

One of the most plausible options for the Eagles at the cornerback position is Chris Harris Jr. Harris Jr. currently resides with the hapless Denver Broncos, who now hold a 2-5 record this season.

With John Elway having to look forward to the future of the Broncos, he should be willing to listen intently to offers involving his veteran players. This year, Harris Jr. is in the final year of his current contract and will become an unrestricted free agent in 2020.

What makes Harris Jr. an intriguing option for the Eagles is the fact that he is extremely versatile. He is capable of playing on the outside, where he can cover the best wide receivers in the NFL. At the same time, he can slide inside and cover slot receivers with success.

The current state of Philadelphia's secondary is in flux and the Broncos' veteran corner could help mend some of their issues. Also, the asking price likely wouldn't be too much and the Eagles could look to re-sign him after the season comes to a close.

1. Patrick Peterson

Aside from Ramsey, the most coveted cornerback in the NFL has been Patrick Peterson. The Arizona Cardinals are 2-3-1 on the season and are in the middle of a rebuilding stage of their organization.

Kyler Murray has looked remarkable under center and the offense has some upside in the near future. But on the defensive side of the ball, there are a lot of holes that need to be filled before Arizona is considered a winning football team.

At 29 years old, Peterson isn't getting any younger and by the time the Cardinals get to where they want to be, he could be nearing the end of his career. Therefore, Arizona should consider moving him to obtain draft capital for the future.

Peterson is making his return in Week 7 after serving a six-game suspension to begin the season. Additionally, he is in the second-to-last year of his contract and is due nearly $19 million over the next two years.

Without a doubt, Peterson would be the most expensive option of the three but he would also produce the most beneficial results if the Eagles were able to procure him.
