Inside the Eagles’ 2026 Roster: Surprising Star Breakouts and Hidden Risks Revealed
I’ll bet you’re not at all happy with the Eagles’ offseason thus far, huh?
Yeah, I get it. For the second straight year, the Birds haven’t done much to electrify the fanbase. In fact, they’ve seen more good players leave than they’ve acquired through the first major thrust of free agency, although in terms of quantity, you’d have to argue they’re coming out a bit ahead in the numbers game.

But I’ve always been a quality over quantity guy, and while the team re-signed some key players, notably tight end Dallas Goedert, safety Marcus Epps, offensive lineman Fred Johnson and punter Braden Mann, it’s true the roster isn’t quite as good as it was at the end of what was ultimately a disappointing 2025 season.
Oh, and there is still the uncertainty around A.J. Brown’s future in Philadelphia, too.
The Eagles’ offense in 2026 is going to be led by someone who’s never been an offensive coordinator before, or called plays before, and was essentially the team’s 4th or 5th choice for the gig, so trepidation about that situation is warranted, as well. But it’s hard to grade the offseason before the NFL Draft takes place. The whole picture has yet to be painted.
