The 2026 NFL Combine has come and gone for the Philadelphia Eagles, and it certainly was an eventful one for the team.
Philly was the center of attention, with trade talks for wide receiver A.J. Brown and teams going to Eagles general manager Howie Roseman about interest in him. There were plenty of other questions about what the team was going to do in the draft and whether they would target tight end, offensive line, wide receiver, or edge rusher in the first round.
As the dust has settled on another combine, there were some clear winners and losers from the Eagles' perspective. Here's a look at who won the weekend and who lost.
Winner: Howie Roseman, General Manager
Roseman dominated the media interviews, being honest about the trade chatter involving Brown while making his stance clear. While he drew the line in the sand with teams wanting to trade for the star receiver, he is also focused on keeping the core group of guys who helped build this championship-caliber team, with conversations about re-signing Jaelan Phillips, Jalen Carter, and Jordan Davis. He might not make many moves in free agency, but Roseman is about to cook as he does best.
Loser: A.J. Brown Trade Talks
Despite this topic dominating the NFL Combine for the Eagles, the new trade compensation for Brown is starting to shut down conversations about it. Roseman is now asking for a first and second-round pick for Brown; many teams see this as unrealistic and too high a cost. The tide is turning, with more people believing Brown will be an Eagle in 2026. Tough break for the national sports media that wants this to happen so badly.
Winner: Sean Mannion, Offensive Coordinator
Eagles fans got a second round of praises being sung about new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. From head coach Nick Sirianni to Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst, everyone is still very high on Mannion's chances of landing his first offensive coordinator job. There might still be some doubt among Eagles fans about him, but it's a good sign that a month after the hire, everyone believes Philly made the right move.
Loser: Dallas Goedert, TE
One thing this tight end class showed in the NFL Draft: they are fast and athletic. That is not good news for Goedert, who is slightly hoping to be re-signed by the Eagles. Even though Roseman did not shut down the possibility of Goedert returning in 2026, incoming rookie tight ends like Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq and Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers made a convincing argument for the Eagles to select one of those guys.

Winner: Chris Kuper, Offensive Line Coach
Kuper got to see firsthand at the NFL Combine how good this draft class is on the offensive line, but no one could have expected the speed and athleticism from the group. There are so many options the Eagles could go with in the first round, with Alabama's Kadyn Proctor and Clemson's Blake Miller. No one can be more excited about building the future of the offensive line than Kuper is.
