Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Halle Roseman shared his vision for the team's future

during his end of season press conference.

He's swinging the roster-build heavily toward defense, starting in 2026.

Key tied in Dallas-Goderd is back, but the team lost several defenders like Linebacker

Nicobie Dean to the Raiders, safety-re-blankenship to the Texans, Edge-Rusher-Jalen Phillips to

the Panthers, and others including Otterie Jackson, Marcus Epps, Fred Johnson, and

White Receiver, Jahan Dotson, through free agency or trades.

Roseman locked in defensive tackle Jordan Davis with a $3.78 million extension.

The Eagles are eyeing deals for stars like Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Mora O'Jomo soon.

They have about $38 million, $774,670 in cap space for 2026 plus.

$52 million in dead money, giving them room to maneuver.

Fans and analysts see this as a smart pivot after offensive line struggles and injuries last

season.

The impact shows in the depth chart, with quarterback Jalen Hertz leading at $31,971,800

dollars against the cap.

Running back Saquon Barkley anchors the ground game despite a down year, backed by Tank

Bigsby while White Receivers AJ.

Brown and Devonta Smith both topped 1,000 yards receiving.

On defense, the front looks elite, with Davis, Carter, and O'Jomo up top.

Nolan Smith and Jelix Hunt on the edge, Zach Bond at Linebacker, and a loaded.

Cornerback group featuring new signing, Rick Wollen, at $15 million.

Quinyan Mitchell and Cooper Dejan, safety spots go to Andrew McCuba and Sydney Brown,

with Michael Carter the second possibly shifting over.

The Eagles resigned Punter braided man to a 4-year $14 million deal, with $7 million

guaranteed.

This revamped roster sets them up to challenge top-passing attacks next year, blending proven

talent with young stars for a strong run at another.
