With the trade deadline fast approaching, teams executives are looking at potential trades that would give them an edge for the upcoming stretch run. Two of the teams that are expected to be making moves at the deadline are the New Orleans Saints and the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Both teams entered the season as favorites in the NFC and are both seeking valuable additions to their respective rosters. As per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports:

Both teams are seeing if there is a cornerback available at the right price who could bolster their secondary, sources said, and while the Eagles have been exploring trades for running backs for weeks, they are also open to adding a receiver, as well, sources said.

Among rival generals, the consensus is that these two teams will most likely be the ones involved when a potential blockbuster trade or two happens. Both teams are preparing for a potential Super Bowl run, with the Eagles trying to repeat and the Saints, who made a bold move to trade up for emerging force Marcus Davenport, committed to trying to win another championship before Drew Brees, 39, eventually retires.

There have been a lot of players that have been the subject of trade rumors recently: the cornerbacks include Patrick Peterson, Bradley Roby, Gareon Conley, and Eli Apple. Receivers being sought after by contending teams are Amari Cooper, Larry Fitzgerald and Emmanuel Sanders. With Jay Ajayi being out for the season, the Eagles have been in contact about Le'Veon Bell and LeSean McCoy.

Expect the Saints and Eagles to be willing to do anything within reason to address their needs.
