NFL Rumors: Eagles Open to New D'Andre Swift Contract; Dolphins Eyed Trade for RB

The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly see running back D'Andre Swift as more than a rental player even though he is entering the final season of his contract.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on the situation during an appearance on SportsCenter and noted the Eagles had to compete with the Miami Dolphins when it came to interest in the former Detroit Lions playmaker:

"Howie Roseman was ultra-aggressive because this guy wanted up out of Detroit once they drafted running back Jahmyr Gibbs No. 12 overall. He figured, 'Hey, I'm a focal point.' He made that clear to the team, 'I don't want to play here anymore, let's work out a trade.
