Philadelphia Eagles: 5 must-do steps to fix this team in the offseason
By David Esser
The Philadelphia Eagles need to make these five moves in the offseason.
The Philadelphia Eagles, currently sat at 3-6-1, look like a complete dumpster fire. There are more issues with this team than I care to list out, and there’s no “easy fix” to it all. Less than three years removed from their iconic Super Bowl run, the Eagles are already staring down yet another rebuild.
Anyways, happy Thanksgiving everyone!
As we all rest up after a healthy day of eating, I felt now was the perfect time to lay out a five-step plan to fixing the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason.

#1. Fire Howie Roseman
Above all else, the Philadelphia Eagles need to part ways with their general manager. He was afforded the second highest payroll in the NFL this season, and through ten games, his masterpiece has mustered just three lonely wins.
His recent draft picks haven’t worked out, he routinely hands out bad contracts, and pretty much all of his free agent signings have flopped this year. A football team is only as good as the guy constructing it, and Roseman currently looks way over his head.
Howie did a fantastic job plugging holes during the team’s Super Bowl winning season back in 2017, but that was a very long time ago. Since then, his track record has been pretty abysmal. Guaranteeing Alshon Jeffery’s contract and drafting Jalen Hurts in the second-round are just two examples on a very long list of recent front office failures.
Even the argument of “Roseman being good with the cap” is starting to fall flat, as the Eagles are projected to be $70 million over the salary cap next season.
With so many roster failures coming to light this year, it’s simply time the team invests into a new general manager.
