Philadelphia Eagles Trade DT Kentavius Street to Atlanta Falcons: Details
The Philadelphia Eagles have traded defensive tackle Kentavius Street and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick, per an announcement from the Eagles on Monday.
With Monday's trade deadline fast approaching, Eagles GM Howie Roseman made a deal to acquire future draft capital.
Street signed a one-year, $1.28 million deal with the Eagles this offseason after playing 17 games with the New Orleans Saints in 2022. Originally a 2018 fourth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers, Street played three seasons in The Bay. However, he's posted just four total tackles across four games this season.
Upon signing with Philly, he opened about the love he's had for the franchise in the past. Unfortunately though, the business side of football will now result in him moving down south.
“As far as the outside looking in, I’ve always been a fan of the Eagles, going back to the days of Trent Cole and Brian Dawkins,” Street said in April. “I really feel like this Eagles organization has always had a standard that they upheld.
"It’s never bent, it’s never faltered. So, it’s extremely exciting to be a part of it, man, because I really feel like I can put my best foot forward here.”
He also revealed the excitement he had to play alongside Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox on the defensive line.
“I’ve been watching these guys since I was a puppy,” said Street. “Fletch and BG have been setting the standard for D-linemen for a long time now. To have the opportunity to be in the building with these guys, going to practice, going to war with these guys is going to be huge."
But now, Street will look to make an impact with his new team.
