ITI’s official Philadelphia Eagles final 53 man roster projection
By Gary Parsons
The Philadelphia Eagles have the deepest and most talented roster in the entire NFL. Period! Here’s a guess on the final 53-man roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles‘ roster, heading into 2019’s preseason, had so much talent. There were and are so many possibilities of how the final 53-man roster will look, and it’s hard to argue with any of them. The Eagles’ quest is for another Super Bowl title this season, but at the same time, they could be in a position to build a dynasty. In order to find balance and maximize value, they could explore the idea of making some trades as they can’t keep everyone.
Last season, the Eagles were hit hard by the injury bug, creating massive holes throughout their roster. That enabled them to get a hard look at their depth at multiple positions. They took that information and put it to good use. Signing multiple veterans with something to prove and guys who were looking to be a part of something special.
Many of them were great fits for what the Eagles are trying to do.
In creating their roster, the Eagles have used the draft and free agency. They’ve used trades. Now, they’ll use the waiver wire and their practice squad, all in an attempt to find a nice mix of youth and veteran talent. Then, there’s the IR. Placing those injured players there creates another roster spot, and that ensures they’ll be in the mix for next season.
Without further adieu, let’s project the final 53-man roster.
