Inside the Eagles’ 2026 Roster: Surprising Star Breakouts and Hidden Risks Revealed
There is uncertainty over the future of back-up Tanner McKee. Could he be moved in a trade leading up to the draft? The acquisition of Andy Dalton would indicate the chances are good McKee could be dealt with one year left on his rookie contract, although Dalton certainly would be fine as a third-stringer.
Running Back
What to make of Saquon Barkley’s 2025 season? It’s clear he wasn’t as good as he was in his 2,000-yard ‘24 campaign, but the injuries and uneven play along the offensive line, as well as the play calling of Kevin Patullo, certainly didn’t help. He remains an elite runner that most teams would love to have as their No. 1 and remains a huge advantage for the Eagles.
Tank Bigsby looked like a terrific change-of-pace option as the No. 2 running back, and I’m excited to see him utilized more in the Eagles’ new offensive scheme. Will Shipley was not very good as the No. 3 back. It was confounding to see him get as much playing time as he did at the expense of Bigsby. Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele make up the depth pieces, for now.
