Seven takeaways from Howie Roseman's and Nick Sirianni's NFL Combine press conferences
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- Eagles executive Howie Roseman and coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the team's focus on building through the offensive line and prioritizing certain positions while managing salary cap challenges, indicating a likely reliance on compensatory draft picks rather than aggressive free agency spending.
- Brandon Graham is expected to return in 2026 as a role player if the cost is minimal, while retaining edge defender Jaelan Phillips remains a key priority to maintain a strong pass-rushing group alongside Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, and Graham.
- The cornerback position features two All-Pro players, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, but the Eagles face challenges filling the third corner spot, likely opting for affordable veterans rather than investing heavily in multiple top-tier corners due to salary cap
