During the 2022 NFL season, it felt like the Philadelphia Eagles were unstoppable. They were dominant throughout the regular season, and marched through the playoffs with ease. Philadelphia came up short in the Super Bowl that year, but the Eagles seemed prime for a long window of contention.

They started last season with that same fire, leading the NFC halfway through the 2023 campaign. Then, the team suddenly collapsed. Philadelphia lost six of their last seven games, including a blowout loss to Tampa Bay at home in the Wild Card round.

Then, legendary center Jason Kelce retired, followed by perennial Pro Bowl DT Fletcher Cox, who was the long-time heart of the defense, hanging up his cleats as well. After their ugly showing in 2023 and the subsequent retirements of their two longest-tenured players, the Eagles now find themselves looking for a way to get back to the 2022 version of themselves.

The Eagles aren’t in a bad situation, though. As of this writing, they have the fourth-most cap space in the entire league, around $31.5 million to be exact. Philadelphia also has a decent number of draft picks as well, with three selections within the first 53 picks and three fifth-round selections to boot.

With all of those assets, they can afford to make a foray into the trade market this offseason.
