The Eagles on Monday night pulled off a trade to acquire cornerback Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders for defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV.

About 12 hours later, head coach Nick Sirianni was asked about the move at his Tuesday press conference.

Howie (Roseman) does such a good job of continually trying to improve our football team, Sirianni said. No one does it better than he does and we thought that was an opportunity to add some depth at corner. We feel good about our depth.

Obviously, well miss [DT Thomas Booker] Book and wish him the best. We feel good about our depth at defensive tackle, but just a way to add some depth there at corner.

Bennett, 24, was an early fourth-round pick out of Maryland back in 2023 and was actually taken one spot ahead of Kelee Ringo. In two seasons with the Raiders, Bennett played in 24 games with 11 starts. He started seven games last season before his season ended with a shoulder injury that needed surgery.

As the Eagles took the field on Tuesday morning, Bennett was already with them but not in uniform. Eventually, hell wear No. 49 when he does start practicing.

For the first 10 days of training camp, there has been a battle for the starting cornerback job opposite Quinyon Mitchell and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has said the competition has been close between Adoree Jackson and Ringo.
