The defending NFC champion Eagles are adding another former Georgia football star to their roster.

The Detroit Lions agreed to send running back D'Andre Swift to Philadelphia in a trade, the Eagles announced Saturday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Lions received a seventh-round draft pick and a future fourth-round pick in exchange for Swift. 

Philly reportedly received a seventh-rounder in addition to Swift.

The move comes two days after the Lions used the No. 12 overall pick on former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

After the Lions made the surprising decision to draft Gibbs, questions began swirling about Swift's future in the Motor City. On Thursday night, general manager Brad Holmes was asked about where Swift stood with the team going forward.

"I mean, D’Andre, he’s still on our roster, he’s still part of our team, he’s still under contract with us," Holmes said. "He’s a dynamic football player, so it hadn’t really changed the math there, yet. But it is early, but it didn’t really change."

Swift is a Philadelphia native and attended St. Joseph's Prep, about 10 miles from the Eagles' home stadium.

The Eagles have been adding Georgia Bulldogs to their roster lately, selecting three players who played in Athens in the 2023 draft. Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith were drafted in the first round Thursday, and the Eagles selected cornerback Kelee Ringo in the fourth round Saturday.

"We've agreed to terms with the Lions on a trade for RB @DAndreSwift …Welcome home." the Eagles wrote in a tweet early Saturday.

Swift rushed for 542 yards and five touchdowns over his 14 games last season. He also caught 48 passes for 389 yards. Ankle and shoulder injuries sidelined Swift for the final three games of the regular season.

The Lions used a second-round draft pick on Swift in 2020. He has 1,680 career rushing yards.

Former Eagle Miles Sanders departed for the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason, which left a hole on the Eagles' running back depth chart.

The Eagles brought in former Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny in March. The addition of Swift adds more depth to the running backs room.

Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott also figure to get carries.

The Memphis Grizzlies were trounced Friday night by the Los Angeles Lakers, putting an end to a rocky season that saw star player Ja Morant suspended for eight games in March. 

Morant had multiple off-the-court incidents appear in the news before he was suspended after appearing to brandish a gun at a Denver area nightclub. 

The Grizzlies still managed to earn the two-seed in the Western Conference, but injuries and a rebuilt Lakers team did them in, losing in six games in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. 

After the blowout loss on Friday night, Morant took ownership of a disappointing season, pointing to off-the-court distractions.

"I've just got to be better with my decision-making," Morant said, according to ESPN. "That's pretty much it. Off-the-court issues affected us as an organization pretty much. Just [need] more discipline."

While Morant did not face any criminal charges for the incident in Denver, the NBA suspended him for eight games without pay for "conduct detrimental to the league" following an investigation. 

It came after multiple allegations involving Morant. 

The Indiana Pacers claimed that after an altercation between associates of Morant and the Pacers in January, a red laser was pointed at the team from an SUV that was carrying Morant, which the Pacers believed was a gun.

The NBA investigated the incident and found that no "individual threatened others with a weapon."

In March, a police report said that Morant allegedly exposed a gun after punching a teenager last summer.

In the report by The Washington Post, Morant allegedly punched the teenager in the head "12 to 13 times" in a pickup basketball game at Morant’s house.

According to the report, Morant went into his house after the altercation and emerged with a gun in his waist, and his hand on the weapon. 

Friday night, Morant said he needs to be more disciplined off the court. 

"I feel like mine is more off the court and on the court – just being disciplined both sides," Morant said. "Off the court, making better decisions. On the court, being locked in even more. Being a leader of this team, it pretty much starts with me. So however I attack any situation, I know my guys will follow. I've just got to be better in that area."

The 125-85 loss was the most lopsided playoff loss in Memphis franchise history.
