Philadelphia Eagles retool offense following a wild-card playoff exit
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the new season with significant personnel and coaching changes after a frustrating conclusion to their previous campaign. Following a wild-card playoff exit, the organization replaced offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo with Sean Mannion and parted ways with long-time offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. Wide receiver A.J. Brown was traded to New England, prompting the team to acquire Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and rookie Makai Lemon to bolster the passing game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts remains the centerpiece of the offense, though he faces the challenge of maintaining his dual-threat production without Brown. While the offensive line and interior defensive line remain established strengths, questions persist regarding the secondary following the departure of safety Reed Blankenship to the Houston Texans. The team continues to integrate new schemes as it pursues another Super Bowl appearance.

Behind a record-breaking season from running back Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles featured a rush-heavy offense on the way to the franchise’s second Super Bowl victory in the 2024 season. Brown, often unhappy with his role last season as seen with his public comments and posts on social media, was traded to New England.
