Derek Barnett is part of a deep edge-rush group that features veterans Haason Reddick, Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham, among others.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is sacked by Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 19, 2017, in Arlington, Texas. Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett is gauging the trade market to see if there’s an opportunity to earn more playing time with another team, a league source confirmed Monday afternoon to The Inquirer.
Barnett, 27, suffered a torn ACL in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions last September and missed the remainder of the 2022 season. He’s been an active participant in training camp this summer. Barnett is part of a deep edge-rush group that features veterans Haason Reddick, Josh Sweat, and Brandon Graham along with rookie Nolan Smith atop the depth chart, in addition to linebackers Patrick Johnson and Kyron Johnson.
Throughout his tenure with the Eagles, Barnett has built a reputation as an aggressive player — and at times, to a fault. Just this month, he has been flagged several times in training camp practices for activity occurring after the whistle. “... It’s a good teaching lesson for everybody. There will be things that a guy on another team does that’s out of my control that I’m not going to like. You have to be able to play tough, violent, strong, nasty, aggressive, all those different adjectives, and have to do all those things while doing it legally.”
