The 2022 NFL season is still months away, but with free agency and the draft approaching, this Eagles roster could have a different look on both sides of the ball.
Philadelphia will work from a strength of dominant depth along the offensive line and it’ll be on Howie Roseman to build around that while adding more playmakers on the outside.
Jordan Howard and Boston Scott could both move on via free agency, and the Eagles are expected to be in the market for a big-named veteran wideout to pair with DeVonta Smith.
With the new league year just weeks away, here’s a way too early projection for Philadelphia’s starting offense.

With Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson both allegedly preferring to play somewhere other than Philadelphia, Howie Roseman will either roll with Hurts or make a splashy decision in free agency or in the draft.
Hurts has one more season to prove that he can lead the franchise to greatness.

DeVonta Smith co-signed the Eagles bringing in a veteran presence at receiver and Philadelphia could make a huge splash by acquiring Mike Williams, Chris Godwin, JuJu Smith-Schuster, or any of the other big named wideouts.

Fans are hoping Kelce will return for one more season at least and we’ll wait until mid-march for a response.

Seumalo hasn’t played right guard since his rookie season, but he lost his season due to a foot injury and could be a prime candidate to replace Brandon Brooks.
Jack Driscoll was solid in relief of Brooks, but he’s suffered with injuries as well.
