New OC Sean Mannion is bringing a Shanahan-tree outside zone scheme to Philadelphia — and it's not just an offensive line adjustment. From the draft board to Jalen Hurts' development to the looming contract crisis, this scheme shift touches every corner of Howie Roseman's roster construction.
The Eagles defensive line entered 2025 facing massive turnover after losing Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, and Brandon Graham. A mid-season trade for Jaelan Phillips and Jordan Davis's breakout year kept the unit competitive, but Jalen Carter's regression and inconsistent edge pressure drag the grade down.
Eagles fans keep hearing the team can't pay everyone. But when you run the numbers, only three players need extensions in the next two years: Jalen Carter, Cooper DeJean, and Quinyon Mitchell.
The Eagles average 27 receptions per year from their third wide receiver. They're essentially playing 10 on 11 in the passing game, and it's killing their offense.
The narrative that AJ Brown has a drop problem doesn't survive contact with the actual numbers. Thirteen drops in 521 targets over four years tells a very different story.
Howie Roseman gave the same rehearsed line about AJ Brown at the NFL owners meetings. When the GM won't say 'we're not trading him,' the writing is on the wall.
Seven offensive tackles could be selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Eagles have options at pick 23, but the offense-vs-defense conflict creates an interesting decision for Howie Roseman.
Howie Roseman was candid about why the Eagles let Reid Blankenship walk and what Tariq Woolen needs to prove. The safety position remains a question mark heading into the draft.
The Eagles signed Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and continued Howie Roseman's draft proofing strategy. But have they actually improved? The answer depends on how much faith you put in the NFL Draft.
Philadelphia faces its most consequential roster construction decision since the Wentz era. The A.J. Brown trade timeline, Jalen Carter's looming extension, and Howie Roseman's cap chess reveal a franchise at a critical inflection point.
With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching, we grade every first-round pick of the Howie Roseman era — from Brandon Graham to Nolan Smith — and identify the pattern that should guide the Eagles at pick 23.
With 24 players entering the final year of their deals, Howie Roseman faces a chess match of extensions, fifth-year options, and calculated gambles. Here's the tier-by-tier breakdown of who the Eagles absolutely must lock up, who they can afford to let walk, and the one-year fliers that could reshape the entire roster.
The Eagles appear headed toward trading AJ Brown after June 1, and the ripple effects will transform their approach at pick 23 and beyond. Here's the full breakdown of how one move changes everything.
The Eagles hold nine picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, but none matters more than No. 23. With Lane Johnson's clock ticking and edge rusher still unfinished, Howie Roseman's first-round decision could reshape Philadelphia's championship window for years.
Philadelphia's offensive line returns all five starters in 2026 but faces critical questions about depth, Tyler Steen's development, and how a new scheme under Sean Mannion will reshape the unit's identity.
Wide receivers are dime a dozen in the modern NFL. A Hall of Fame right tackle? That's a once-in-a-generation find. Here's why Lane Johnson's departure will hurt more than AJ Brown's.
Cleveland had a better defense than the Eagles last year — and won 5 games. That tells you everything about Myles Garrett's individual impact on a football team.
The math works. Trade AJ Brown post-June 1 for a first, trade out of 23 for another, and suddenly three firsts for Myles Garrett only costs the Eagles one net pick. Here's the full blueprint.
Forget the big names. NFL Draft analyst Ian Cummings says Akeem Mezador is the best schematic fit for the Eagles' defense — and he could be available at 23.
The Eagles are going to trade A.J. Brown — the only question is when and for what. The June 1 cap deadline is the most important date in Philadelphia's offseason, and Howie Roseman knows exactly what he's doing.
