# Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. Team code: **PHI**. ## Quick Facts - **Team code:** PHI - **Head coach:** Nick Sirianni (Nick Sirianni — Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach) - **Offensive coordinator:** Sean Mannion (Sean Mannion — Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator) - **Defensive coordinator:** Vic Fangio (Vic Fangio — Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator) - **Coaching tree:** see Coaching Trees ## 2026 Outlook **Ranked #2 in ESPN's 2026 roster rankings (July 2026):** The Philadelphia Eagles earned the No. 2 spot in ESPN's first roster rankings for 2026, behind only one other team. Biggest strength: the offensive tackle duo of Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson, ranked as the top tackle pairing in the NFL. Mailata has finished no lower than 6th among NFL tackles in Pro Football Focus grades for three straight years. Lane Johnson, at age 36, continues to play at high level in pass protection and run blocking. Main concern: safety depth after Reed Blankenship left for Houston, leaving Marcus Epps and second-year Andrew Mukuba in larger roles. Cooper DeJean provides slot coverage flexibility but his primary role is at cornerback, limiting safety availability. (per Eagles Ranked No. 2 in ESPN's 2026 NFL Roster Rankings) **A.J. Brown trade confirmed (June 1):** Eagles dealt their franchise-best receiver to New England Patriots for 2028 first and 2027 fifth-round picks. Jalen Hurts enters his sixth season facing his seventh offensive coordinator with new OC Sean Mannion reshaping the offense. Mannion's West Coast system (modeled on Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay) emphasizes timing-based plays and distributes targets across receivers rather than concentrating on elite alpha (per What's next for Eagles, Patriots after A.J. Brown trade?). DeVonta Smith immediately becomes clear WR1; first-round pick Makai Lemon (USC), newly acquired Dontayvion Wicks (trade), and free agents Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore form complementary rotation. Second-round TE Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) adds receiving upside. Hurts will face significant target-share redistribution after relying heavily on Brown's 130 targets/season in Philadelphia, but should benefit from more equitable opportunities if Mannion's system schemes players open. The passing game remains in flux—new coordinator systems typically take 3-4 weeks to stabilize in training camp. The 2028 first-round pick from the Patriots provides future asset flexibility. As cornerstone players like Nolan Smith and Cooper DeJean navigate contract extensions in 2027-2028, that pick could help replace either player if negotiations falter, or address emerging roster needs (per NFL Draft Notebook: How the Myles Garrett and A.J. Brown trades could reshape Browns and Eagles draft plans). **Secondary additions:** The Eagles signed cornerback Riq Woolen to a one-year, $12 million deal this offseason. Woolen, 27, brings rare athleticism at 6-4, 210 with elite movement and coverage ability. DC Vic Fangio called him a surprise value acquisition, noting players at his size typically lack his footwork and fluidity. Woolen joins All-Pro cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean to form one of the NFL's most talented cornerback trios. Early OTA reports show Woolen breaking up passes and competing effectively despite first exposure to Fangio's complex scheme. (per Riq Woolen already making strong impression on Eagles in spring) Second-round TE Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) adds two-way versatility: multiple scouts compared him positionally to Michael Pittman Jr., suggesting Eagles plan flexibility in how they deploy him (slot-like receiving role mixed with traditional tight end). Some teams had knee concerns about Stowers, but Eagles' medical team cleared him with no reported issues. Third-round receiver Antonio Williams (Clemson) brings natural route-running and ability to both slot inside and align outside—Eagles' new divisional target distribution mirroring Randall Cobb's 13-year, 8,000-yard career arc. Sixth-round guard Micah Morris (Georgia) projects as a starter despite work-ethic questions at UGA; Eagles' SEC-heavy roster culture (11 Alabama/Georgia players) should provide peer accountability. (per 2026 NFL draft: Scouts, coaches, execs on 32 teams' classes) **Historical context on the A.J. Brown trade:** Ranked among Eagles' most significant trades, though the trade's long-term value depends on the 2028 first-round pick materializing as a cornerstone player. If that pick becomes an impact pass rusher or offensive star, the deal could rank inside the Eagles' top-five all-time trades; for now, the return remains theoretical. This positions the move as a net-neutral swap of a proven star for uncertainty around future draft value (per Ranking the biggest trades in Philadelphia Eagles history). **Offensive line:** The Eagles' line remains a strength, built around Jordan Mailata's elite durability at left tackle. Pro Football Focus rates him as the NFL's best offensive tackle, and his dominance has made him the standard by which all left tackles are now measured—surpassing former perennial top-tier comparisons like Trent Williams. Mailata's consistent elite pass protection and run blocking, combined with rare athleticism and technical refinement, has positioned him as the league's premier left tackle (per Jordan Mailata has become the NFL's standard at left tackle - Eagles Wire). Mailata had an off-year in 2025 yet still allowed only two sacks and zero pressures in recent seasons, showcasing elite consistency. Lane Johnson's age-35 season showed regression at right tackle, though injuries played a role—when healthy, Johnson remains potentially the best right tackle in the league. Together, Mailata and Johnson form ESPN's top-ranked offensive tackle pairing in the NFL. The major positive development is Tyler Steen's ascension at left guard from being the weakest link two seasons ago to a rock-solid performer, allowing just two sacks and one quarterback hit on 626 pass-block snaps despite nine penalty flags. New offensive line coach Chris Kuper arrives from Minnesota, tasked with maintaining the line's cohesion without Jeff Stoutland's 13-year institutional stability (per Projecting and ranking every NFL offensive line for 2026 (NFC)). ## Fantasy Footprint 2026 Eagles offense pivoting away from A.J. Brown dependency as he's nearly certain to be traded to New England after June 1. New OC Sean Mannion brings West Coast system that distributes targets across receiver corps and tight ends rather than concentrating on elite alpha. This opens opportunity for complementary receivers and slot weapons (per Adam Schefter shares latest on where he thinks A.J. Brown will be traded). ## Players (Fantasy-Relevant) - **QB:** Jalen Hurts (PPR #55) - **RB:** Saquon Barkley (PPR #27), Tank Bigsby (PPR #171), Will Shipley (PPR #NR), Dameon Pierce (PPR #NR), Elijah Mitchell (PPR #NR), Carson Steele (PPR #NR) - **WR:** DeVonta Smith (PPR #30), Makai Lemon (PPR #93), Quez Watkins (PPR #NR), Hollywood Brown (PPR #NR), Johnny Wilson (PPR #NR), Dontayvion Wicks (PPR #NR) - **TE:** Dallas Goedert (PPR #127), Johnny Mundt (PPR #NR), Eli Stowers (PPR #NR), Grant Calcaterra (PPR #NR) ## Coaches - Head coach: Nick Sirianni (Nick Sirianni — Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach) - Offensive coordinator: Sean Mannion (Sean Mannion — Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator) - Defensive coordinator: Vic Fangio (Vic Fangio — Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Coordinator) ## Recent News - 2026-07-09 — Eagles 2026 Training Camp Position Preview: Tight End (Eagles 2026 Training Camp Position Preview: Tight End) - 2026-02-25 — What traits will the Eagles be looking for in their new scheme along the offensive...
