When Fair Play Falls Apart: A Lions Fan’s Cry for Justice

The Philadelphia Eagles and general manager Howie Roseman are known for never sitting still when they identify a weakness. Six weeks into the 2025 season, the team’s biggest issue is clearly at cornerback. According to NFL.com’s trade tracker, cornerback was already listed as the Eagles’ top priority heading into Week 6 — even before Quinyon Mitchell exited Thursday’s 34–17 loss to the New York Giants with a hamstring injury. Adoree’ Jackson has already been benched once, while Kelee Ringo has struggled to find consistency. That’s why Cleveland Browns star Denzel Ward is now at the top of Roseman’s wishlist. Despite Cleveland’s 1–5 start and bottom position in the AFC North, Ward remains an elite performer with 17 tackles, five pass breakups, and one interception in six games. The No. 4 overall pick in 2018, Ward is a four-time Pro Bowler (2018, 2021, 2023, 2024) known for his intelligence, sharp instincts, and fit in Vic Fangio’s defense — which emphasizes limiting big plays and winning one-on-one matchups. The proposed trade would send Ward and a 2027 sixth-round pick to Philadelphia in exchange for Kelee Ringo, a 2026 second-round pick, and a conditional 2027 third-rounder that could upgrade to a second if Ward hits performance benchmarks. This deal could reshape the Eagles’ defense — but the real question is whether Roseman is willing to pay that price, and whether Cleveland is ready to part with one of its cornerstone players.
