NFC Wild Card Playoffs - Philadelphia Eagles v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After a shocking late-season collapse in 2024 that culminated in a Wild Card exit and the retirements of franchise stalwarts Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox, the Philadelphia Eagles have retooled.

Running back Saquon Barkley is their headline acquisition, having been poached from the divisional rival New York Giants. He joins an offensive core that includes quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receivers AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, tight ends Dallas Goedert and C.J. Uzomah and an offensive line that still boasts Pro Bowlers Landon Dickerson and Lane Johnson among others.

Defensively, Cox's retirement fully paves the way for Jalen Carter to star alongside Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, and Josh Sweat in the trenches. Devin White crosses over from Tampa Bay as the new star linebacker, replacing now-New York Jet Haason Reddick.

And then there is the secondary – the deepest in the conference. The Eagles still have Pro Bowlers Darius Slay and James Bradberry and Avonte Maddox manning the corners, with rookies Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell backing them up, while C.J. Gardner-Johnson returns from Detroit to lead a safety unit that includes Sydney Brown and Reed Blankenship.
