The Eagles entered 2025 as reigning Super Bowl champions, but they rarely resembled the juggernauts who steamrolled the Chiefs en route to a Lombardi Trophy a year ago. While the Eagles earned their second straight NFC East title, their win total fell from 14 to 11 and their point differential dropped from plus-160 to plus-54. Their only victories by double-digit points came against the lowly Giants, Raiders and Commanders.
The Eagles also lost to each of the division rival Giants, Commanders and Cowboys - all sub-.500 teams. Those defeats, particularly the regular-season finale against Washington, proved costly for a Philadelphia team that frittered away the second seed in the NFC. Instead of hosting the free-falling, seventh-seeded Packers in the wild-card round, the Eagles took on the sixth-seeded 49ers, who narrowly missed out on the No. 1 spot in the conference. The 49ers walked into Philadelphia and ended the Eagles' season with a 23-19 victory.
Since the Eagles' unceremonious first-round exit on Jan. 11, Nick Sirianni's coaching staff has undergone radical changes on the offensive side. The team is now a month away from potentially losing a few noteworthy contributors to free agency. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is not in position to hit the open market, but a trade looms as a possibility for the three-time Pro Bowler. Deciding on the uber-talented Brown's future will be one of the most important items on general manager Howie Roseman's plate this offseason.

Eagles have become a victim of success, u can’t keep everyone when you draft well.
But hey, losing people after drafting well pays off too. They’ll probably have three good comp picks this draft. The surest way to draft well is to draft a lot, and the Eagles always seem to have a couple of extra picks in the top few rounds.
No doubt, Seattle in 1-2 years will be going through the same thing.
