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' Offensive Line Problems Are Bigger Than Chris Kuper's Scheme

Philadelphia changed its offensive-line leadership, but the same problems have now followed the unit across 20 games. Chris Kuper can adjust the scheme; he cannot make declining or misplaced players perform like the elite line their reputation promises.
