Howie Roseman might’ve saved the Eagles with this under-the-radar move

Jaelan Phillips continues to get the bulk of the national attention, and rightfully so for the Philadelphia Eagles’ new game-wrecking edge defender.

But general manager Howie Roseman might have saved this 2025 season with a more underrated move that nobody's talking about.

The Eagles lost swing tackle Fred Johnson in free agency this offseason, only to bring him back in a late-August trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The price was just a 2026 seventh-round draft pick, but the reward could be much bigger with star right tackle Lane Johnson’s season suddenly in doubt.
