The Philadelphia Eagles' approach to the 2025 NFL free agency period has left many fans scratching their heads.
Despite entering the offseason as reigning Super Bowl champions, the team has been uncharacteristically quiet while several key players have departed.
Philadelphia's free agency slumber: A cause for concern?
General Manager Howie Roseman, known for his aggressive roster-building strategies, has made only a handful of moves, leaving gaps in the roster that have yet to be addressed.
The departures of defensive standouts Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, and Darius Slay Jr. have particularly stung, as they were core contributors to Philadelphia's dominant defense last season.
Sweat, who tallied 43 sacks over seven years with the Eagles, landed a lucrative deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
Williams signed the most expensive free-agent contract of the offseason with the New England Patriots, while Slay found a new home in Pittsburgh.
Adding to the defensive shake-up, the Eagles also traded safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans, further depleting their secondary.
While Philadelphia has made a few gs, including veteran rusher Joshua Uche, running back AJ Dillon, and linebacker Zack Baun, none of these moves have sparked the excitement fans were hoping for.
The team also executed a minor quarterback swap, trading Kenny Pickett to Cleveland in exchange for Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who has struggled in his brief NFL career.
Understandably, fans are growing impatient. With other teams making aggressive gs and strengthening their rosters, the Eagles' slow start has raised concerns about whether they're doing enough to remain competitive.
Philadelphia's defense was one of the best in the league last season, but with several of its top playmakers now gone, major question marks loom over the unit's ability to maintain its dominance.
However, free agency is far from over.
Roseman has a history of making strategic moves at the right time, and there's still an opportunity for the Eagles to fill the holes left by departing players.
One potential target that has emerged is Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who could help reinforce the rush.
Additionally, the NFL Draft provides another avenue for Philadelphia to reload its roster.
While the slow start is frustrating for fans, the Eagles' front office may simply be playing the long game.
The coming weeks will determine whether their patience pays off-or if their lack of urgency ends up being a costly mistake.
