The Philadelphia Eagles have been linked as one team, among others, that could pursue Trent Williams in a trade. Despite the recent reports, Philadelphia has denied having any interest in trading for Williams.

With rumors running rampant ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, there were reports of multiple teams expressing interest in Williams. Besides the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets, the Eagles were also named as a possible trade partner.

Earlier this offseason, Philadelphia allowed Jason Peters to walk in free agency. While some people believe that Peters' departure left a void at left tackle, the Eagles are confident in Andre Dillard.

Just last offseason, Philadelphia used their first-round pick to select Dillard. Seeing that he was a first-round pick, they likely wouldn't have taken him if they didn't believe he was the heir apparent for Peters. As a rookie in 2019, Dillard was able to make four starts for the Eagles.

Without a doubt, the Eagles are more than aware of how talented Williams can be on an offensive line, having to face him twice a year. However, it would make little to no sense for Philadelphia to consider a move for Williams. At the same time, why would the Redskins trade the disgruntled offensive tackle within their division?

From the moment that the reports had the Eagles included as a candidate for Williams, it was hard to envision it coming to fruition. Now that Philadelphia's interest has been debunked, everyone can get back to preparing for the 2020 NFL Draft and waiting for a real suitor for Williams to emerge.
