The Philadelphia Eagles are keen to return to their 2022 ways after the horrible last two months of the 2023 season. The Eagles added former Pro Bowl tailback Saquon Barkley from the NFC East rival New York Giants without much delay, reinforcing a team already stacked with some of the best players in the entire NFL.
General manager Howie Roseman signed CJ Gardner Johnson (Lions), DaVante Parker (Patriots), Devin White (Buccaneers), and acquired former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett, who will likely be Jalen Hurts’ backup quarterback, in addition to bringing in Saquon Barkley (Giants).
The Philadelphia Eagles may be seeking to add some youth and versatility in the shape of Graham Barton, a Duke offensive tackle, according to CBS Sports’ most recent estimates for the 2024 NFL Draft. This off-season, future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce announced his retirement. The Duke graduate is anticipated to start for the Blue Devils at all five offensive line positions and may be most suited to an NFL squad at center.
The Swiss Army knife Graham Barton may be used in many different ways along that offensive line. He may not be a good match in the long run, but for the time being he provides them with insurance at several spots in case of injury.
The Philadelphia Eagles were stacked going into 2023 after a season in which they were only one dubious pass interference call away from maybe winning Super Bowl 57. After a 10-1 start to their comeback season, Super Bowl 58 tickets were snapped up by everyone in “The City of Brotherly Love”…But Nick Siranni and company lost both all of their momentum and the NFC East divisional championship after a 1-5 finish to their regular season. In the NFC Wild Card Round, the Eagles’ losing streak would continue as they were outclassed by the.500 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32-9 after dominating them from start to end.
