The Eagles lost five defensive starters, two defensive backups and one offensive starter from last year’s Super Bowl team, and how they go about replacing those positions is one of the top things to monitor this summer.

Johnson enters year 13 with the Eagles and in the NFL, and has showed no signs of slowing down. "He’s building his Hall of Fame resumé, and it’s been incredible [to watch]," Terron Armstead said.

But having lived in Philadelphia since joining PennLive, this shifted role made sense. The rapid success of Nick Farabaugh, our excellent, dedicated Steelers beat writer, made this make sense. Now, PennLive will have the NFL covered on both sides of the state.

Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, we know a little better. He is a former fifth-rounder who won a Super Bowl ring as part of the Los Angeles Rams roster. Since then, he has also spent time with the Houston Texans and the Cleveland Browns.

PHILADELPHIA — The word that contains the Eagles’ ultimate goal for the 2025 season is one Nick Sirianni won’t let slip from his lips. Only once does the head coach say it, only in response to a roundtable of reporters who collectively wonder how a reigning Super Bowl champion will prolong its golden era:

They have the best line, running back, and pass-catchers ... and the defense might be better than the offense. Again.

It felt like the Philadelphia Eagles took all night to make their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and in reality, they did. However, there's no reason to worry. Picking late in the draft is simply the cost of success that comes with playing into February and winning a Super Bowl.

Signing Mukuba ahead of camp was high priority for the Eagles, who have a void at safety alongside Reed Blankenship after trading C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in March. Third-year safety Sydney Brown is also expected to compete for the starting job.

While Eagles fans are focused on Dallas Goedert’s future and new signings Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant, one analyst believes an under-the-radar tight end could shock both veterans during 2025 training camp.

You can never have enough veteran pass rushers, and Tom Pelissero reports that Philadelphia is adding Ogbo Okoronkwo to the roster on a one-year deal. Cleveland released Okoronkwo with one year remaining on a three-year, $19 million contract.
