The summer break is in full force officially for all 32 teams as the Philadelphia Eagles enter the second week of it after three weeks of OTAs.
There is still a long wait until training camp, which is just a little over a month away. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot to digest about the Eagles' offseason, as everything from the A.J. Brown trade to the coaching staff changes happened over the last six months.
From all of that, there were some clear-cut winners and losers from the whole offseason before training camp begins. Here are the biggest winners and losers from the Eagles' 2026 offseason.
Winner: DeVonta Smith, WR
Finally. Smith can come out from the shadows of Brown and become the number-one receiver Eagles fans have known he can be. With the Eagles trading Brown to the New England Patriots, no one can stand in Smith's way as WR1.
The signs were already there that Smith was the number-one receiver on this team from last year after leading the team with 1,008 yards, five more than Brown. Smith has had three seasons in five years where he has gone for 1,000 yards, so he is more than ready for it and the hype this offseason has been loud.
Loser: Jalen Hurts, QB
All of a sudden, in one offseason, Hurts went from being beloved by everyone to being one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the NFL according to the public. Hurts has had to endure a lot of criticism from an ESPN report talking about him being "uncoachable" and changing plays in the game to the Eagles showing signs they don't want to give him an extension yet.
Remember, 17 months ago, he was the MVP of the Super Bowl after leading the Eagles to their second Lombardi Trophy. Now, his play is hated by everyone? Despite getting help at receiver and a new offensive coordinator, it didn't feel like Hurts won at all.
Winner: Howie Roseman, General Manager
Roseman always feels like a lock to be a winner in the offseason because he continues to dominate at his position. He managed to spend the second-least amount of money in the offseason and signed cornerback Riq Woolen and selected wide receiver Makai Lemon in the first round at pick 20 after he dropped in the draft back in April. During that same draft, he went from losing Jaelan Phillips, their top pass rusher, a month ago, to trading for Jonathan Greenard, saving $30 million in the process.
Even when it feels like Roseman isn't as active in the offseason, he is still making great deals and helping the team out for the future. With all those moves, plus the Brown trade to New England, the Eagles are not only set up for success in 2026 but for the future.
Loser: Nick Sirianni, Head Coach
Similar to Hurts, Sirianni went from being one of the top five head coaches in the NFL in February of 2025 to now being on the hot seat. Sirianni has taken a ton of heat in the offseason for the way the Eagles have gone through offensive coordinators left and right after failing with Brian Johnson in 2023 and Kevin Patullo in 2025. He has taken some unnecessary shots with people saying he does nothing and is helped by Howie Roseman's roster-building.
There is a considerable amount of pressure on Sirianni to get the job done despite having had a winning record and made the postseason in all five years as the Eagles head coach. Another "down year" could potential cost him a job, which seems incredibly wild.

Winner: Sean Mannion, Offensive Coordinator
Sure, there are people who are hesistant on whether Mannion can be a good play-caller on offense, but the hype has been quite real with him. After getting hired as the Eagles' offensive coordinator, there was a lot of praise for Mannion being very smart and was head coach material in the future. Even his new players like Jordan Mailata has called him an "evil genius."
The pressure is just as much on Mannion as it is Sirianni to break the streak of first-time offensive play-callers and their struggles in Philly. This will either launch Mannion's career to new heights or he might end up struggling to find a new job like Patulllo did this offseason.
