With the start of the NFL season just under three months away, every team has things to clean up and additional moves to be made.
The Philadelphia Eagles are certainly no exception, with further work to be done in the dog days of summer. Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report listed every team's to-do list, with some heightened priorities leading the way for Philadelphia
"Jalen Carter is already one of the NFL's most disruptive defensive linemen. At 25 years old, he can get even better. The Philadelphia Eagles understand how valuable the two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle is. As such, a contract extension should be forthcoming, likely making his the league's highest-paid interior defender.
On the other side of the ball, the Eagles' offensive line is set. However, injuries have derailed this once dominant group. Right and left tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata have both missed games over the last two seasons. The competition between veteran Fred Johnson and rookie Markel Bell could be the roster's most important battle if/when a starter misses time.
Similarly, the wide receiver position is in flux after the AJ Brown trade and a competition will ensue to see who sees the field. Dontayvion Wicks and first-round rookie Makai Lemon are vying to be the team's WR2 behind DeVonta Smith."
Eagles have three things they need to get done before the 2026 season starts
The Carter contract situation looms large, as general manager Howie Roseman has his sights on keeping the star defensive lineman in town for the long haul.
We've tackled the offensive line extensively here, and for an offense that has garnered past success - with such a decorated offensive line - it's clear that as the line goes, this offense goes. While playcalling this past season left plenty to be desired, the ailments suffered by the starting trench unit threw a major wrench into things. A stamp of clean health is essential not only for the starting tackles, but also amongst the interior trio, with Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens also returning from concerning injuries.

And as life without Brown unfolds in Philadelphia, the emergence of both Lemon and Wicks will be critical. With Lemon already hobbled, it's been a slow start for the prized first-rounder. Wicks has been turning heads, though, and as a group, this wideout room has the talent to keep things running smoothly in the passing phase of this offense.
