Yesterday, we previewed the Week 1 game against the hated Eagles, who also happen to be the defending division champions.

There have been instances where Eagles players have left Philly, come to DC and played well in the burgundy & gold.

The most notable, of course, was Sonny Jurgensen. After an All-Pro start in Philadelphia, he was famously traded to the Redskins in 1964. He became a Hall of Famer in Washington, leading the NFL in passing yards three times and getting voted to four Pro Bowls. He is one of the brightest stars in the Washington universe, and, with his broadcasting career taken into account, is a Redskins icon whose time as an Eagle is not only ignored, but often unknown to many fans.

More recently, DeSean Jackson, after being cast aside by Eagles then-head coach Chip Kelly for being a thug, came to Washington where he averaged a career-best 69.3 yards per game (which would be 1,178 yards in a 17-game season) playing opposite Pierre Garcon from 2014 to 2016. Jackson eventually returned to play two more seasons in Philly, and is remembered primarily as an Eagle, but he was a star receiver in his 3 seasons in a Redskins uniform.

At the start of June, of course, AJ Brown was traded to the Patriots in a long-telegraphed transaction that seems to have been a win' for every party involved. I wouldn't have minded acquiring Brown, but Howie Roseman would never have traded him inside the division.

But it makes me wonder who else from the Eagles roster could make a big positive impact on the Commanders roster.

Today's question, which you can answer in the comments, is pretty simple. Looking over the Eagles roster, if you had a magic wand good for one Philly-to-DC wish, who is the ONE PLAYER that you would steal and add to the Commanders 2026 roster ahead of training camp?
