Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman has kept the team competitive by smartly

managing the salary cap, but the first day of the leagues.

Tampering window brought big changes.

Three key defenders and starters left for huge deals, including Edge Russia, Jalen Phillips,

signing a $120 million contract with Carolina.

The Eagles are now shifting their roster strategy toward defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's

scheme.

To rebuild, they locked in defensive tackle Jordan Davis, with a $3-year, $78 million

extension.

This move anchors the line as they reload the defense after those losses.

Officials say Roseman's focus is on fresh talent and getting the most from current players.

Fans and analysts are watching several veterans closely after down years.

Zayquan Barkley hit over 1,000 rushing yards for the second straight season, a feat not

seen since Lashan McCoy, but he wants his.

Top form back.

Centercam Jurgen's and Garland and Dickerson also face pressure after mixed results in

past protection.

Defensive stars like Jalen Carter, who battled shoulder injuries, but still posted strong

pressure numbers and cornerback Heli Ringo, who struggled.

In coverage, need big rebounds.

The linebacker, Nolan Smith, rounds out the group, pushing for better production to

secure spots.

With the draft coming up fast, these bounce back efforts will shape Philadelphia's reset

and set the stage for a stronger run defense next season.
