1. Philly has to get younger and cut ties with Super Bowl hangovers.

This one is arguably the most important task Roseman and the front office will have this offseason. Roseman admitted at his end-of-season press conference that the front office felt strongly about the Super Bowl core for the two years after that 2017 season, but now realizes the team desperately needs to get younger.

This team must put their projected ten picks in the upcoming draft to good use, and that means opening up some roster spots.

This can be accomplished rather swiftly, with Roseman and the team starting the transition to youth by cutting ties with organization mainstays like Jason Peters, Ronald Darby, and Nigel Bradham. For Peters, the future Hall of Famer is way past his prime, even if he doesn’t think so. Last year’s first-round selection, Andre Dillard, showed more than enough promise last season to prove he can be ready to step into a starting role for the 2020 season.
