The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off their third consecutive playoff appearance, but one of the biggest collapses in history NFL the story overshadowed what once appeared to be a promising season. Philadelphia lost six of its last seven games after a 10-1 start and was eliminated in the wild-card round of the playoffs, leading to a change in offensive (Kellen Moore) and defensive (Vic Fangio) coordinators for the second consecutive season.
There is still a lot of optimism surrounding the Eagles, thanks to a busy front office this offseason to make Philadelphia a Super Bowl candidate once again. Not only has general manager Howie Roseman locked up his young core with contract extensions, but the Eagles added Saquon Barkley as one of the prized free agent signings of the offseason.
Philadelphia also added Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first two rounds of the draft, revamping a secondary that also saw the return of CJ Gardner-Johnson in free agency. The Eagles also added Bryce Huff to the pass rush in an effort to add bigger edge rushers to Fangio’s scheme.
The revamped roster, along with an easier schedule in 2024, gives the Eagles hope they can compete for second Super Bowl appearance in three years.
