The offseason has stirred excitement amongst Eagles fans, hopeful for a 2025 repeat of their 2024 glory days. Yet, General Manager Howie Roseman tempers that enthusiasm with a healthy dose of realism, reminding everyone that the road to another Super Bowl win is filled with uncertainty.
Speaking to Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio, Roseman emphasized the importance of drawing lessons from their 2017 squad, which was his key to propelling the Eagles into future triumphs. The echoes of Doug Pederson's 2017 success were faintly heard as the team quickly exited the playoffs the following season, and Pederson eventually parted ways with the franchise.
Roseman points out that this current roster is architecturally distinct from previous lineups. The main takeaway he stresses to his team is grounded in humility: past victories don't promise future accolades. "I see the attitude and the energy," Roseman remarked. "But we know 2025 is its own beast. We've not won a game yet this year. Each season demands our best efforts, and history is no prophecy."
Amidst personnel changes, the Eagles have retained linebacker Zack Baun, bolstering their chances. The squad has also taken strides to rejuvenate their defensive lineup with fresh talent, marked by five consecutive defensive draft picks. With an upcoming draft offering 12 more selections, the Eagles prepare for strategic replenishment.
Should these new recruits match the dedication and energy of their predecessors, the Eagles aim to sidestep any 2017-like setbacks. Their path isn't gilded with assurances, but built on persistent hustle and strategic foresight.
