Well, you've come to the right place.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>With the 2025 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, one member of the Philadelphia Eagles who is far from a lock to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/eagles-news-philadelphia-add-tight-end-amid-dallas-goedert-trade-rumors">survive the weekend is Dallas Goedert</a>, the Super Bowl-winning tight end who is owed $15.5 million this fall.</p><p>With a very expensive team that will only get more so when players like Reed Blankenship, Jalen Carter, and Nolan Smith get extended, Goedert has been identified widely as a player who could be expendable, with some, including NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Ruben Frank, noticing the writing on the wall.</p><p>After watching <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/eagles-news-howie-roseman-weighs-in-dallas-goedert-trade-stance">Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni talk about Goedert</a> as if he’s already gone during the NFL meetings in Palm Springs, Frank took to his Roob’s Observations column to question why the two sides can’t come to <a href="https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/roobs-offseason-observations-trying-understand-dallas-goedert-situation-howie-roseman-jalen-hurts-shedeur-sanders/659036/" rel="noopener">an agreement that works for everyone</a>.</p><p>“Listening to Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni at the owners’ meetings, it sure sounds like Dallas Goedert is already gone. When coaches and GMs start using the past tense to talk about a player, it’s never a good sign. I get it. Goedert is 30, he can’t get through a season healthy, and he’s due $15.5 million in 2025. That won’t work. What I don’t get is why the Eagles and Goedert can’t figure out a deal that makes sense for both sides. Goedert has to know his value on the open market isn’t going to be very high, so why not agree to a pay cut and have a chance to stay in Philly and play for a perennial Super Bowl contender?” Frank asked.</p><p>“And the Eagles have to know they’re a better team with Goedert on the field than gone. Since 2020, Goedert has averaged 50.7 yards per game – fifth-most in the league among tight ends who’ve played at least 50 games. And look at his postseason production – 17-for-215 with a TD this year in the playoffs, 52-for-562 with four TDs in his career in the playoffs. On top of all that, the Eagles just don’t have a successor. Grant Calcaterra is OK but he’s not a TE1. They signed a couple guys, but they’re just guys. They could draft a tight end, but who knows what you’re going to get? It makes sense for everybody for Goedert to be here on a sensible deal, and it’s surprising that so far they haven’t figured out a way to make that happen.”</p><p>On one hand, Frank is correct, the Eagles really don’t have an ideal replacement lined up and while there are some good options in the second tier of tight ends who could entice the team like, say, Harold Fannin Jr. and Mason Taylor, neither is a lock to be as good as Goedert in 2025, let alone moving forward. In an ideal world, the two sides would find a deal that works for everyone, but if they can’t, a conscious de-coupling might just be the only solution.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So on draft day this year, it would be just like the Eagles’ General Manager, Howie Roseman, to package some of these picks, either in this draft or next year’s draft as well to move up the board if there were a player that he really wanted. It would be just. like him and this organization to trade some of these future picks for a veteran that a team knows they’re not going to re-sign that it knows they’re moving on from.”</p><p>The Eagles have made big moves around the draft in recent years, with the trade for AJ Brown from the Tennessee Titans sticking out. D’Andre Swift is another one, as he was acquired in 2023 from the Detroit Lions. Schefter went so far to guarantee trades coming from Howie Roseman and the Eagles during the draft.</p><p>“I will guarantee right now, we’re going to get a trade or two out of the Philadelphia Eagles,” Schefter said. “I don’t know for who, I don’t know for what, I don’t know when it will happen, but they’re not going to make 20 picks in the next two drafts, that ain’t happening.”</p><p>The Eagles have a stacked roster, but did <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-howie-roseman-reveals-future-reason-cj-gardner-johnson-trade">lose some defensive talent this offseason</a>, and Roseman is known to always stockpile talent. Especially on the defensive side, creating the depth needed to stifle top teams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a defender, he does not <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-tush-push-not-football-former-super-bowl-champion-hc">see a problem with the play</a>, calling it a “slippery slope” if the league bans it.</p><p>“I think it’s a slippery slope,” Barr said. “You ban one play, then what’s next?

It’s cool to see,” Anthony Barr told TMZ Sports.</p><h2><b>Will the NFL ban the Tush Push?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/The-Bills-using-the-Tush-Push.jpg"><figcaption>Tina MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>Recently, there has been a call for the NFL to ban the Tush Push, a play the Philadelphia Eagles have made famous. Essentially, the play is a quarterback sneak where the ball carrier receives a push from offensive linemen, tight ends, and running backs behind him.</p><p>Nick Sirianni, who is now the Eagles’ head coach, first executed the play while the Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator. Now, he frequently runs it in short-distance plays, making the Eagles a threat to score from the goal line.</p><p>The ban was proposed by the Green Bay Packers. It was a hot topic at the NFL’s Annual League Meeting, <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/vote-on-tush-push-rule-change-proposal-tabled-for-later-date" rel="noopener">though the debate has been shelved</a> for the foreseeable future.</p><p>“The discussion on the tush push was very good, we showed a lot of data, a lot of questions from the clubs, a lot of discussion about it,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at a league meeting press conference. “I think there are safety issues that are being considered in that case. We have very little data from it, but it’s beyond data, there’s also the mechanism of injury that we study, that type of thing that leads us to show the risk involved with a particular play or a particular tackle. So those are things that we did discuss.”</p><p>So, for now, the Eagles can continue using their dominant play. They are not the only ones who use it, though.

And in a March 13 episode of <i>Hot Ones</i>, Hart was asked about the legitimacy of reports that he spent millions of dollars on two eagles — the literal bird — named Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. Hart confirmed the report, and three weeks later, Barkley joined <i>Hot Ones</i> — the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings — and was informed about Hart’s pet eagles, <a href="https://x.com/firstwefeast/status/1908267247677956413" rel="noopener">giving an all-time response</a>.</p><p>“Yeah, I hope that’s just, you know, PR,” Barkley said via the First We Feast account on X. “And he’s doing a really good job.

Unfortunately for him and the Eagles, the power of one Hart-owned bird didn’t do the trick. But, before Super Bowl LIX, Hart <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFoGlx8zZ_F/?hl=en" rel="noopener">dipped back into the bird cage</a>, purchasing another eagle and naming it Saquon Barkley after the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-philadelphia-steals-saquon-barkley-giants-3-year-37-75-million-contract">Eagles signed the star running back in free agency</a>. And this time, his multi-million dollar purchase was worth it, resulting in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/where-eagles-rank-most-dominant-super-bowl-performances-ever">dominant Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs</a>.</p><p>So, once he found out about Hart’s purchase, Barkley wanted to go meet the bird with a strikingly similar name.</p><p>“I think I gotta go meet him,” Barkley added. “I think I gotta spend some time with him. I gotta take a picture with Saquon, for sure.”</p><p>And, in Hart’s episode of <i>Hot Ones</i>, he truly showed the world how much he loved the Eagles, both as an NFL team and as a territorial bird.</p><p>“That was me, basically showing love to Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley by telling them that I love the Eagles that much, that I’m willing to live with them,” Hart said.</p><p>Although his first attempt at buying luck with an eagle before a Super Bowl didn’t work, it was more successful when Kevin Hart bought the second one, naming it Saquon Barkley. And with knowledge of Hart’s aerial pets, Barkley is eager to get the chance to meet himself in feather form.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But if pick 32 rolls around and the Birds are still picking, they will be able to choose from a collection of players who can not only contribute right out of the gates but could become long-term starters worthy of future extensions.</p><p>And yet, there are a few players who could still be on the board at pick 32 who should give the team pause, not because they aren’t good or won’t be good moving forward, but because they are odd fits for what the team is looking to do both now and into the future. While any pick could end up being a good pick or a bad pick, depending on how things shake out, betting on these players feels like anything but a sure thing.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Grey-Zabel-at-the-Combine.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Grey Zabel</b></h2><p>Though Jeff Stoutland may be one of the very best offensive line coaches in the NFL today, with an ability to seemingly turn any random guy off the street into a solid enough reserve, the Eagles’ offensive line currently consists of one first round pick, two second round picks, a seventh round pick, and either a first or third round pick at right guard, depending on if Tyler Steen or <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/eagles-news-howie-roseman-reveals-future-reason-cj-gardner-johnson-trade">recent addition Kenyon Green</a> win the job.</p><p>If the Eagles were to invest another high-profile pick on an offensive lineman this year, no one would really bat an eye, especially considering neither Steen nor Green is under contract long-term, but picking a guard? Who some believe might actually be better off as a center long-term? That would be an unusual choice, especially with a first-round pick.</p><p>Standing <a href="https://www.nfl.com/prospects/grey-zabel/32005a41-4220-7645-264b-c5c0ef13a11f" rel="noopener">6-foot-6, 312 pounds</a>, Zabel played all over the field for the Bison over his five seasons in Fargo, logging snaps at left guard, right tackle, and left tackle for the perennial FCS contenders. He has 32-inch arms, one below the minimum threshold most teams expect from a tackle – just ask Will Campbell – but because of his advanced NFL IQ, he’s still widely considered a future first-round pick.</p><p>Could Zabel immediately start for the Eagles at right guard in 2025? Sure thing, but because he will likely never be able to kick it outside to tackle long-term when Lane Johnson eventually retires, picking Zabel at 32 when other Day 1 starters will almost certainly be on the board feels more beneficial than adding a third player to their right guard battle. Better to add someone like Ohio State’s Josh Simmons or Georgia’s Tate Ratledge on Day 2 than Zabel at 32, should he fall to the spot.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/University-of-Alabama-LB-Jihaad-Campbell.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Jihaad Campbell</b></h2><p>Once considered a favorite to land in the top-20 by many, if not most talent evaluators, Jihaad Campbell has become a borderline prospect after a shoulder injury, with pick 32 becoming a popular landing spot for the Alabama linebacker.</p><p>The problem? The Eagles don’t draft linebackers in the first round and already have a very similar player in Zack Baun.</p><p>Now sure, <i>technically</i> Baun is only locked in on a three-year deal, and the Eagles could get out of his deal after two if he’s unable to play at an All-Pro level once more but assuming he at least comes close to playing at the level he did last fall, it’s hard to imagine a world where he couldn’t actually earn an extension off his current deal, instead of being replaced by a player with a similar set of skills.</p><p>Can Campbell do more than most linebackers, even ones selected in the first round? Sure thing, and plenty of folks have hypothesized about using him as a third down rusher, just like the original plan for Baun, but he’s far more of a standup linebacker than, say, Jalon Walker, and thus would at best play alongside the 2025 All-Pro as a long-term Nakobe Dean replacement, instead of a swiss army knife who can do a little of everything.</p><p>And yet, in his 2025 two-round mock draft, that’s exactly what Field Yates decided to do, giving the Eagles Campbell at pick 32,<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2025/insider/story/_/id/44447028/2025-nfl-mock-draft-field-yates-two-rounds-64-picks-predictions" rel="noopener"> noting the value at the position</a> instead of the fit with the Eagles.</p><p>“It hurts me to see Campbell have to wait this long; he’s the final prospect on the board who ranks in my top 25. But after a recent left shoulder surgery, his health outlook for the start of his career is less clear. But this would be a classic example of the Eagles pouncing on a talented player who fell due to circumstance. Philly struck gold with a no-risk signing of Zack Baun last offseason, and the idea of a linebacker trio eventually composed of Baun, Nakobe Dean (knee), and Campbell is exciting. Campbell had 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and an interception last season.”</p><p>Have the Eagles taken value in the draft? You bet, but when Roseman drafted Dean, it was in the third round, not the first, despite many having a first-round grade on the Georgia linebacker. Baun signed to a deal worth less than $2 million, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. came off the board in the fifth round last year, when he was widely considered a top player left on the board when the fourth round opened up.</p><p>Would Campbell find success in Philadelphia? Sure, but he’d be a luxury on a defense that really needs pass rushers and coverage specialists and not to mention out of character with what the team historically prioritizes.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Emeka-Egbuka.jpg"><figcaption>© Stephanie Amador Blondet-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Emeka Egbuka</b></h2><p>On paper, the Eagles kind of need a wide receiver.</p><p>Sure, in 2024, the Eagles’ WR3 barely saw any action, with the combination of Johnny Wilson and Jahan Dotson combining for a paltry 24 receptions on 48 targets for 254 yards and one touchdown, but did that have more to do with the team’s depth or Kellen Moore’s commitment to running the ball at all costs, with AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert getting the action left from Jalen Hurts in any given game?</p><p>And yet, with the right WR3, it’s easy to see a world where the Eagles’ offense does become more dynamic, with a legitimate burner or a crafty YAC threat changing the offense up in the best possible way.</p><p>Emeka Egbuka is not that player.</p><p>The all-time leading yards-getter in Ohio State history, Egbuka was catching passes all the way back when C.J. Stroud was quarterback and has remained a valuable contributor over that stretch, but he was never the best receiver on his team, with players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jeremiah Smith all outplaying him in one season or another.</p><p>How much value should a team place on consistency? Does Egbuka’s professional approach to the game add more to the Eagles as a WR3 than, say, Matthew Golden, who could unlock the offense as a deep threat, or the versatility Luther Bolden III could provide as a dynamic threat with the ball in his hand?</p><p>On paper, the Eagles should feel comfortable drafting a wide receiver in any round, but they need to add someone who does something special, as opposed to a professional option who doesn’t stand out in any one area of the game. Wait it out for TCU’s Savion Williams or Isaiah Bond on Day 2, or hope Kyle Williams is there in the fourth round, but the idea of Egbuka wouldn’t be an ideal use of a first-round pick.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And while he’s known for being friendly and professional with all fans, this gesture added another layer to public speculation.</p><h2><b>The political tightrope athletes walk</b></h2><p>Athletes often find themselves in tricky territory when political associations, whether intentional or not, become public. Barkley’s meet-up with Ivanka Trump has already sparked questions about his potential attendance at the upcoming White House celebration, a tradition for Super Bowl champions. In today’s polarized political climate, that kind of visibility doesn’t go unnoticed.</p><p>Unlike some of his Eagles teammates who may choose to skip the visit altogether, Barkley’s friendly rapport with members of the Trump family seems to signal his openness to attending. This isn’t a case of sudden allegiance either. Barkley gave shoutouts across the board, including to Joshua Kushner—a Democrat—hinting that he may be more focused on relationships than ideologies.</p><p>Still, the image of Saquon Barkley next to Ivanka has already stirred reactions. Some fans view it as harmless. Others? Not so much. Whether he shows up at the White House or not, Barkley is now a symbol of the broader cultural divide—and how quickly a single photo can inflame it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-why-patriots-made-cowboys-trade-better-offer">Cowboys were able to land Milton</a>, they weren’t the only team in the running for his services, as the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Giants were all interested in him as well.</p><p>A sixth-round pick in the 2024 sixth-round pick, Milton shined in his only NFL action as a rookie, which came against the Buffalo Bills backups in Week 18. Milton threw for 241 yards, ran for another 16, and picked up a pair of touchdowns (one passing, one rushing) to lead New England to victory, although it resulted in them missing out on the No. 1 overall pick ironically enough. Now, Milton will head to the Cowboys despite a <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1907809290015973677" rel="noopener">slew of interest</a> across the league.</p><p>“My understanding is since Joe Milton became available at the start of the offseason, teams that showed interest included the Raiders, Eagles, Giants, Steelers and the Cowboys. The Patriots had a better offer for Milton but chose to send him where he wanted out of respect for him, per source,” Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported.</p><h2><b>Eagles, Steelers, Raiders come up short in quest to add Joe Milton III from Patriots</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Joe-Milton-with-NE-Patriots.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>For some of these teams, it’s not hard to see why they were interested in Milton. The Steelers, Giants, and Raiders don’t have long-term answers at quarterback, which could conceivably have led to them giving Milton a shot under center. The Eagles and Cowboys, meanwhile, were looking for someone they could develop behind the scenes in the event they have a crisis at the position.</p><p>In the end, it was Dallas who ended up winning, even though they reportedly did not have the best offer on the table for Milton. The second-year passer made it clear, though, that he has quite a few Cowboys fans in his family, which could have influenced the Patriots when pulling off this trade. Now, Milton will get to work with his new team as Dak Prescott’s backup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After winning the Super Bowl last season, the NFL is looking into potentially banning the tush push altogether.</p><p>Several coaches and players around the league have questioned why the play would even be banned. On Wednesday, reports indicate that an unnamed general manager in the NFL <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1907554872846942380" rel="noopener">criticized the teams</a> who want to ban the tush push, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. The unnamed general manager didn’t name any teams specifically, but he is clearly supportive of the Eagles continuing to use the play.</p><p>“The tush-push continues to be a major topic of debate among league circles. A current NFL GM told me: ‘I think it’s pretty soft to ban a play just because you can’t stop it. I’ll leave the names out of it, but I think you know who I’m talking about.'”</p><p>The Green Bay Packers were the team that proposed the tush push ban this offseason. Teams around the league will put the proposal to a vote. However, the NFL has postponed the voting for now to investigate the concerns around the Eagles’ play.</p><p>Teams who oppose the tush push allegedly showcased strong arguments as to why the play should be removed. Additionally, some teams, like the Buffalo Bills, express player safety concerns that the play is dangerous.</p><p>The NFL and medical experts are likely conducting more research to figure out if that is true or not. So, the tush-push controversy is bound to continue throughout the entire offseason.</p><p>Philadelphia has essentially perfected the play over the past few seasons. Since introducing the play in the 2022 season, the Eagles have utilized the tush push substantially more than any other team in the league. They also have an incredibly high conversion rate of 91.3% out of 92 attempts. The Dallas Cowboys (92% out of 25 attempts) and the Detroit Lions (100% out of seven attempts) are the only teams with a higher conversion rate.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-nick-sirianni-tush-push-vote-demand-3-former-coaches">Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni defended</a> the controversial play at the NFL Combine. He claimed that he felt “insulted” and suggested that Jonathan Gannon (Arizona Cardinals head coach), Shane Steichen (Indianapolis Colts head coach), and Kellen Moore (Orleans Saints head coach) should vote to keep the tush push as it helped them land head coaching positions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

General manager Howie Roseman and the Eagles front office have already made a handful of big deals, and with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/philadelphia-eagles-7-round-2025-nfl-mock-draft-per-pff-simulator">2025 NFL draft</a> approaching, they may not be done yet. In fact, one recent mock draft believes they will land a steal at the No. 32 overall pick by selecting Alabama football linebacker Jihaad Campbell.</p><p>A big reason for Philadelphia’s success in recent seasons has been because of their ability to draft studs, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Some medical concerns could see Campbell fall down the board, and even though the Eagles have a pair of star linebackers at their disposal with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean, they could <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2025/insider/story/_/id/44447028/2025-nfl-mock-draft-field-yates-two-rounds-64-picks-predictions" rel="noopener">solidify the middle of their defense</a> by adding Campbell.</p><p>“It hurts me to see Campbell have to wait this long; he’s the final prospect on the board who ranks in my top 25. But after recent left shoulder surgery, his health outlook for the start of his career is less clear. But this would be a classic example of the Eagles pouncing on a talented player who fell due to circumstance. Philly struck gold with a no-risk signing of Zack Baun last offseason, and the idea of a linebacker trio eventually composed of Baun, Nakobe Dean (knee) and Campbell is exciting. Campbell had 112 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks and an interception last season,” Field Yates wrote in his latest mock draft for ESPN.</p><h2><b>Eagles could further reinforce their linebacker corps with Jihaad Campbell</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Alabama-football-linebacker-Jihaad-Campbell.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Campbell starred for the Crimson Tide in 2024, and he has turned himself into a prospect who could get selected in the first round. If the board falls this way for the Eagles, they’d surely be thrilled to scoop up Campbell, who many folks believe will get selected in the 20-30 pick range. Grabbing him with the final pick of the first round would certainly be good value for the team, especially considering they can take things slow with Campbell as he returns from left shoulder surgery.</p><p>Of course, all options are going to be on the table for Roseman and the front office, as they could ultimately trade this pick, or target a more pressing area of need on their roster with this pick. Campbell may be too good to pass up if he falls to the No. 32 overall pick, though, and while they may be armed with the final pick of the first round, Philadelphia could still find a way to extract some serious value with this selection.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has done an outstanding job,” Lurie explained via ESPN.</p><p>“Everything that I had hoped for with Nick, he embodies, whether it’s connection, intelligence in so many ways from football intelligence, emotional intelligence, managing of people, hiring of assistant coaches, growth mindset at all times.”</p><p>Originally signing a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/eagles-news-how-super-bowl-win-could-get-nick-sirianni-paid">five-year, $35 million contract</a> with the Eagles back in 2021 after a run with Frank Reich with the Indianapolis Colts, Sirianni has survived four straight offseasons with the Eagles, taking his team to the playoffs in every season at the helm and to the Super Bowl twice, first in 2023 and again back in February on the way to his first-ever win as a coach.</p><p>With three coordinators and counting from his coaching tree already signed to their own head coaching deals, including Jonathan Gannon, Shane Steichen, and Kellen Moore this past season, it’s clear the NFL is buying what Sirianni is selling, and soon, he’ll be doing so on a much richer contract to boot. And to think, fans were talking about replacing Sirianni with someone like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-eagles-bill-belichick-nick-sirianni-return-2024">Bill Belichick as recently as last spring</a>, with fans wondering if a coach who didn’t call the offense or defense was really capable of taking the team to the NFL’s promised land.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that being said, Howie Roseman did his research heading into free agency and was able to land a few potential steals who could play above their pay grade this fall, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-philadelphia-steals-pass-rusher-chiefs-after-losing-josh-sweat">including Josh Uche</a>, who the veteran GM had eyes on last spring before he re-signed with New England.</p><p>Discussing his team’s free agency moves in Palm Beach at the NFL meetings, Roseman noted he reached out about Uche’s availability last spring and <a href="https://x.com/JakeRabadiNFL/status/1906755867594178726" rel="noopener">kept him in mind</a> this season as a result.</p><p>“This is a guy that we’ve had our eye on for some time. We were interested in him as a free agent last year, and he decided to go back to New England,” Roseman said via Rabadi. “At the trade deadline, he was traded, and we had some interest there at that time, too, but felt we had a good rotation going with the edge group. Joshua is a talented guy with a great work ethic who has shown the ability to get to the quarterback.”</p><p>Landing on a deal just barely over the veteran minimum at $1.92 million, Uche isn’t even the most exciting edge rusher added to the roster in the eyes of most Eagles fans, with Azeez Ojulari considered a more interesting player because of his sack totals and Georgia connection. But to Roseman’s credit, Uche is interesting, too, as he has a double-digit sack season in a 3-4 defensive scheme and can do more than just rush the passer.</p><p>If Uche ends up being the player who fills Josh Sweat’s shoes and plays 70 percent of the team’s defensive snaps in any given game, no one will really complain that it wasn’t Ojulari, as in the end, the Eagles need a starter opposite Nolan Smith long-term and fans will accept any worthy partner in crime.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
