The Philadelphia Eagles have had about as bad a season as possible for a team looking to make the playoffs coming into the year.
The Eagles started the year 2-0 with unconvincing wins over the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans and have now lost seven straight games.
Philadelphia is dealing with loads of injuries, and its offense looks downright atrocious. So what does that mean for the Eagles going forward?
The Eagles season has officially gone from “Is there a way to turn this team around?” to “How high of a draft pick can we get?”
Regardless of where Philadelphia ends up at the end of the season, the team has five first-round picks and five second-round picks stacked up over the next three years thanks to different trades Howie Roseman and the front office have made.
With that in mind, Colin Cowherd and an ex-Eagles scout believe the franchise may move on from some key pieces as it rebuilds for the future.
“It is total rebuild for the Philadelphia Eagles. My guess is Sirianni is not long, and I’m not sure Jalen Hurts is,” Cowherd said.
“I think Sirianni’s done,” ex-Eagles scout John Middlekauff said. “I don’t think they’re going to win another game. They are horrendous on offense. I saw a stat yesterday. If you remove some of Milton’s runs, they were averaging like 2.5 yards a play.”
The Eagles offense ranks No. 31 in the NFL, according to PFSN’s Offense Impact Rankings, in front of only the 0-8 Los Angeles Chargers and just below the Minnesota Vikings.
Philadelphia is last in the league in yards per play and explosive play percentage.
It’s quite obvious that this year is a wash for the Eagles, but the franchise is loaded up for a rebuild over the next three years, and Philadelphia’s front office has proven there’s few in the NFL better at that than them.
“Howie’s loaded with draft picks, and he’s proven to be as dynamic as anyone in the league,” Middlekauff said. “And the owner is willing to spend cash. The other thing with the NFL is you can transition fast.”
The New England Patriots are the perfect current example of a quick rebuild, going from 4-13 to 14-3 from 2024 to 2025 and making a run to the Super Bowl.
Whether it’s Jalen Hurts or a new young quarterback the Eagles bring in, a new head coach and loads of young talent can rebuild any team fast, especially one in the NFC East.
