3) Jaelan Phillips. The Eagles got away with highway robbery by acquiring Phillips from the Dolphins for a third-round pick at the trade deadline in November. His first two games in Philly came against two of the league\u2019s better offensive tackles, the Packers\u2019 Zach Tom and the Lions\u2019 Penei Sewell, and Phillips still made his presence felt right away, with 12 pressures and a sack in his first two games. He has an ideal frame, great strength, and terrifying explosiveness, making him a dream fit as a stand-up rusher who can line up anywhere in Vic Fangio\u2019s defense. Phillips can blow through and by tackles, and he often manhandles tight ends into the backfield when given the opportunity. He\u2019s tied for fourth in total pressures (41) since joining the Eagles in Week 10. [\u2026] 31) Nakobe Dean. Injuries have hindered Dean\u2019s development since before he was drafted. He fell to the third round because of a pectoral strain. He only played 47 snaps as a rookie, and then missed a lot of the 2023 season with a Lisfranc injury. He finally started 15 games for Philadelphia in 2024, but he didn\u2019t play beyond the wild-card round in the playoffs because of a torn patellar tendon that caused him to begin the 2025 season on the sidelines. He eventually returned to the starting lineup over the second half of this season, but he missed the Eagles\u2019 Week 17 matchup against the Bills with a hamstring injury. Health is the biggest, and perhaps only, question with Dean as he heads to free agency. He\u2019s a tenacious run defender with great explosiveness and sideline-to-sideline range. He\u2019s a difference-maker on three downs with his ability to play the run and rush the passer. He leads all linebackers with at least 30 pass-rush snaps in PFF\u2019s pass-rush win rate (28.6 percent). Dean isn\u2019t a complete liability in coverage, either, which is more than you can say about most starting linebackers in the NFL right now. It\u2019s hard to project what Dean will command on the open market given just how much of his career has been impacted by injuries. When healthy, he\u2019s as valuable as players like Jamien Sherwood and Nick Bolton\u2014both of whom signed three-year, $45 million deals last offseason. But will Dean have to sign for less purely because of the injury concerns? Probably.<\/p>\n
EDGE Jaelan Phillips: The acquisition of Phillips was the Eagles\u2019 big trade deadline move this season, and for a change it worked out, as Phillips played well, as a pass rusher and against the run. Phillips seemed to be Vic Fangio\u2019s top edge defender, as he consistently out-snapped Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt. That could be an indication that the Eagles make re-signing Phillips a priority.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to interview former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll for their vacant offensive coordinator position, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. It was previously reported that Daboll and Mike McDaniel are the two names \u201cat the top of [the Eagles\u2019 offensive coordinator candidate] list.\u201d Daboll, 50, shares connections to both Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts after overlapping with them at different stages of his career.<\/p>\n
While at face, this is a lateral move, and it will be interesting to see if Indianapolis grants permission. It could at least be somewhat of a promotion, as Steichen consistently handles the offensive play-calling for the Colts. If that job would go to Cooter in Philadelphia, then it theoretically would be an elevation in offensive coaching duties. With Cooter\u2019s coaching assistance last season, the Colts ranked 8th in most points per game (27.4 avg. ppg), and that was despite losing starting quarterback (and Pro Bowl alternate) Daniel Jones for the last four starts of the regular season due to a season-ending torn Achilles injury. Until Jones\u2019s fractured fibula and then torn Achilles after midseason, the Colts were a historically elite NFL offense. Even with the unit\u2019s diminished production down the final stretch, star workhorse Jonathan Taylor still rushed for 1,585 total rushing yards and 18 total rushing touchdowns (*leading the league) on 323 total carries.<\/p>\n
I keep hearing people say Tyler Steen wasn\u2019t any good this year and bring back Mekhi Becton if the Chargers release him, blah, blah, blah. Where is this coming from? Guess what. Steen was fine this year and I don\u2019t know why people are so down on him. He had a better year than Becton, and he was certainly better than Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens. Out of 66 guards who played at least 500 snaps, Steen\u2019s Pro Football Focus grade of 73.4 ranked 14th, which isn\u2019t bad at all. He was the Eagles\u2019 2nd-most consistent offensive line starter, behind Jordan Mailata. Maybe the Eagles can do better and I don\u2019t think anybody would be surprised if they drafted a guard-tackle pretty early in April to begin preparing for life after Lane. But you could do a lot worse than Steen did this year.<\/p>\n
As the NFL draft process gets underway over the next few weeks with the All-Star games circuit, one of the Eagles\u2019 position coaches will get a unique opportunity to be a head coach for a week. Defensive line coach Clint Hurtt will lead the National team at the Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl, which begins practice in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 27. The event brings in the top draft-eligible players to compete in three practices, culminating in the Senior Bowl game on Jan. 31 at 2:30 p.m. at the University of South Alabama\u2019s Hancock Whitney Staduim.<\/p>\n
DeMarcus Lawrence will get to play in an NFC Championship Game. In his first season away from the Cowboys, Lawrence will officially reach the territory that has eluded the Cowboys since well before the team traded up to draft him in the second-round of the 2014 NFL Draft. This marks the second year in a row where a former Cowboys player made it to the title game in their first season away from the team, by the way. Last year it was Tyler Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, Noah Igbinoghene, and Dante Fowler (who later returned obviously) who were a part of the Washington team that reached the step before the Super Bowl. Where DeMarcus is a bit different than them is he had some choice words to say about the Cowboys as he left that were related to this whole thing. You will recall that upon arriving in Seattle that Lawrence did an interview where he called Dallas his home, but he said that he would never win a Super Bowl there. Micah Parsons, then a member of the Cowboys, got defensive and the two had a back and forth on X\/Twitter, but ultimately history is written by the winners and right now DeMarcus is the one holding the pen.<\/p>\n

The document does not answer every question about the stadium \u2014 it primarily addresses how the stadium fits into the surrounding area and complies with legal requirements.

New York Giants coach John Harbaugh (it is still nice to write that) is expected to want to bring Todd Monken, his offensive coordinator the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, to the Giants to work with quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Cleveland Browns, though, appear to be an obstacle. Monken will interview in-person on Tuesday for the Browns vacant head-coaching job, according to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Monken has already has a virtual interview with the Browns, who fired Kevin Stefanski at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
New York Giants: John Harbaugh. When the initial job vacancies were listed, the Giants\u2019 job was one of our favorites on the open market. Only when the Ravens parted ways with Harbaugh was New York pushed down the list. And when the Ravens parted ways with Harbaugh, it made him one of the more attractive candidates on the open market. To us, this looks like a perfect pairing. More than anything else, the Giants need stability at the head coaching position. Since Tom Coughlin\u2019s last season, the 2015 campaign, New York has cycled through four different head coaching options. Harbaugh will be the fifth. Giants fans are not hoping to see a sixth anytime soon. Grade: A.<\/p>\n
After a search that saw the Falcons interview or request interviews with close to a dozen candidates, the team has hired Kevin Stefanski, making the former Browns head man and Vikings offensive coordinator the 14th full-time head coach in franchise history. Matt Ryan\u2019s first and arguably most consequential hire as president of football for the Falcons sees him land on the most experienced non-Mike McCarthy candidate on the market with a strong offensive background, a bet on a coach who piloted the Browns to the playoffs in 2023 with one of the least inspiring quarterback rooms in recent memory.<\/p>\n
