Philadelphia’s Roster Sell-Off Signals a Closed Super Bowl Window

Philadelphia appears to be clearing out its roster, with players such as Jordan Davis being moved and even Cooper DeJean’s name reportedly entering the conversation.

The sell-off looks like Howie Roseman accepting that the team’s Super Bowl window has closed. There are questions about what will happen next season with Jalen Hurts, while Saquon Barkley is hampered and DeVonta Smith has dealt with injuries despite playing well. The defense was not playing great football even when healthy.

The moves amount to an acknowledgment that the season is effectively over. Philadelphia needed to win its last game against the Giants to make the second half of the season relatively serviceable. Once that did not happen, the writing was on the wall.

The focus now shifts to getting as much value as possible and collecting draft picks for this season and the next several seasons. Roseman is considered one of the best in the business and should be able to turn the roster around relatively quickly.

Nick Sirianni’s future is another major question. It is difficult to envision him remaining the team’s head coach next season, and a change could be coming at the top and throughout the roster. However, coaches sometimes remain in place longer than expected and make it work. Sirianni also has the Super Bowl wins to hang his hat on.

From a business perspective, Philadelphia is making the right move. Unfortunately for Eagles fans, it likely means the team will lose many games down the stretch and could begin to resemble the Jets.
