Philadelphia Eagles retain fourteen starters from their Super Bowl roster
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2026 season with 14 of their 22 starters from their recent Super Bowl LIX championship team still on the roster. Eight offensive starters and six defensive starters remain with the team following the deadline for the final 53-man roster. General manager Howie Roseman has managed the transition by identifying foundational players while replacing outgoing talent. The current roster retains key figures including Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and Lane Johnson. This continuity serves as a primary pillar for the organization as it pursues another title despite expected league-wide turnover. The team continues to rely on core players to anchor the unit under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
