The Eagles' offseason is officially underway, and the decisions Howie Roseman makes in the coming months will determine whether Philadelphia can get back to the Super Bowl. CBS Sports' Jeff Kerr joined Birds 365 to break down exactly what needs to happen.
Offensive Line Transition
With Jeff Stoutland's departure, the Eagles face their first major coaching transition along the offensive line in over a decade. The unit remains talented — Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Cam Jurgens — but the coaching continuity that made them elite is gone. Finding the right replacement is paramount.
Edge Rusher Remains Priority
The Micah Parsons trade revelation showed how aggressively Roseman pursued an elite edge rusher. That need hasn't gone away. Whether through free agency, the draft, or another trade, Philadelphia needs someone who can consistently pressure the quarterback opposite Josh Sweat.
Receiver Room Questions
A.J. Brown's comments continue to fuel trade speculation, though the reality of his trade value is more complicated than fans want to believe. DeVonta Smith remains locked in, but the depth behind the top two receivers needs addressing. Don't expect any blockbuster moves, but expect Roseman to add competition.
The Path Forward
Seattle's Super Bowl 60 win proves that elite defense still wins championships. The Eagles have the pieces on that side of the ball with Vic Fangio's scheme. The question is whether the offense can find its 2022-2023 form again.
Kerr sees the Eagles as a team that's closer than people think — but the margin for error in the NFC is razor thin. Every roster decision matters.

Why the Eagles Had to Protect Landon Dickerson From Himself
Landon Dickerson's toughness has made him one of Philadelphia's most dependable linemen, but it also complicated the decision to keep him on the field while compromised. Placing him on Injured Reserve was the necessary correction for the player and the offense.

Landon Dickerson's move to Injured Reserve leaves Philadelphia with a difficult Week 2 choice at left guard. Drew Kendall's interior profile fits the Eagles' wide-zone plan better than moving veteran tackle Fred Johnson inside against Jeffrey Simmons.
