Let’s set the scene: It was January 2025, and every Eagles fan was terrified. You see, the team was looking forward to yet another Super Bowl run, but their star QB, Jalen Hurts, suffered a concussion. He missed the last two games of the regular season but came back strong. Fast forward to Feb., and they won LIX: 40-22. With a successful season, Philadelphia is looking to keep the momentum going in its offseason, too. You see, it is understandable that they won’t be able to retain all of their important free agents (they had Zack Baun, Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, and Mekhi Becton in free agency), but they made sure to keep Baun.

When they lost Kenneth Gainwell, they brought in Josh Sweat; When they lost Becton, they replaced him with Kenyon Green. They also signed Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari. All in all, they look ready to compete once again, and it looks like other teams are taking notice. Take Lavonte David from Tampa Bay, for instance.

He

was on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’, where he spoke about the Eagles. He stated: “Jalen Hurts, they basically brought their whole core back, so they going to be a problem again. Luckily, you know, we’ve been having our way with them. So, hope that continues.” He was referencing the Buccaneers’ 33-16 Week 4 win where Baker Mayfield torched Philly for 347 yds.

But David isn’t blind to Philly’s power. “They’re a great football team, man, and Jalen Hurts is leading them the proper way… doing it his way.” And while Hurts is carving his own legacy, the surrounding roster isn’t making things any easier for the NFC. “And then they got Saquon, obviously, who—it’s kind of like a cheat code, you know, they added him to the team.”

That’s why David knows the Eagles aren’t going anywhere: “It’s definitely going to be a challenge, you know, every year as long as they got those guys. And you know, they got a—a great staff over there. So, they always going to be at the top, you know, right now. And teams like us and Washington gonna be trying to knock them—knock them off. So, I’m sure they not expecting nothing less.”

So it seems Washington, too, has its eyes on the Eagles.

Let us not forget that it was Jayden Daniels who stunned the Eagles in Week 16 with five touchdown passes. But Philly still holds the NFC throne for now.

Goedert’s gone? Sirianni’s $57M tight end tango that surely Hurts

Let’s talk drama: Goedert—Philly’s 4,085-yd TE—might be trade bait. Why? His $19.52M cap hit in 2025 has Howie Roseman crunching numbers. A fourth-round pick could get it done, rumors whisper. But losing Goedert, who snagged a Wild Card TD and 170 yards against the Saints in 2024, would leave Hurts scrambling. Imagine replacing Rob Gronkowski with a JV squad—yikes.

Nick Sirianni’s offense, already reeling from Jason Kelce’s retirement, can’t afford another blow. Goedert’s not just a safety valve; he’s Hurts’ third-down lifeline. SO if the team decides to gamble with Goedert’s position, it could prove to be quite risky. It is a similar contract situation to the one with Darius Slay. With no guaranteed money left, a decision needs to be made.

But you see, Slay is 34. On the other hand, Goedert is much younger and can impact the game in an old-school manner. He has the ability to create mismatches in the play, as well as use his size and power to block. So it will be interesting to see if the Eagles extend Goedert into the 2026 season (after guaranteeing his 2025 amount).

The Eagles’ throne is wobbling. Between division sharks and financial tightropes, Sirianni’s team has some important decisions to make. What do you think will happen? Let us know in the comments below.
