An agreed upon trade between the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles has been called off, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Eagles had agreed to trade edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie to Bengals in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, sources said earlier.
However, the deal would have cost Cincinnati a third-round compensatory pick that the Bengals were to receive for edge rusher Trey Hendrickson signing with Baltimore in free agency.
Ebiketie, 27, has 25 total tackles this season and played 48% of the snaps for the Eagles and also played on special teams.
Cincinnati had been attempting to bolster a defensive unit that has long been seen as a the biggest weakness for a team that sports the league's best passing attack.
Philadelphia meanwhile is retooling after losing seven straight games. The Eagles have already made two in-season trades that sent out starters Cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis, but do have a total of 10 picks in the first two rounds over the next three years.
