Who will the Eagles need to add in which positions to strengthen their lineup in the new season?

Fresh off a dominant Super Bowl victory, the Philadelphia Eagles already look like a team built for another title run. With superstars like Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Haason Reddick, the Birds have a roster most teams would kill for.
But make no mistake — in the NFL, staying on top is even harder than getting there. And if there’s one thing Philly’s front office knows, it’s this: Standing still means falling behind.
Sources around the league suggest the Eagles are still on the hunt to plug a few key holes — and these might just be the difference-makers for 2025–2026.
1. Safety – A Void Left Behind
With C.J. Gardner-Johnson gone (again), the Eagles' secondary needs a new leader in the deep field. Young talent exists, but they’re missing that veteran enforcer who brings both football IQ and intimidation. Names like Justin Simmons or a late-summer move for Jamal Adams could give this defense the final piece it needs.
2. Defensive Tackle – Reinforcements in the Trenches
Jordan Davis has promise, and if Fletcher Cox returns, that’s huge. But a long season demands rotation and depth. Philly needs a true run-stuffer who can clog the middle and collapse pockets. A proven free agent or an early pick from the Draft could help anchor the D-line for years to come.
3. Offensive Guard – Post-Kelce Protection Plan
The retirement of Jason Kelce leaves a leadership and toughness void on the O-line. While Cam Jurgens is expected to step up, the interior line depth still needs help. Injuries can derail a season fast, and protecting Jalen Hurts is priority number one. Don’t be shocked if the Eagles chase a name like Dalton Risner or draft an aggressive guard with starting upside.
Bottom Line:
The Eagles may already be stacked — but championship teams don’t wait for problems to arise. This front office is ready to make smart, aggressive moves to keep the team at the top. And with another Super Bowl in sight, expect them to pull the trigger on any deal that can elevate even 1% of their game.
Philly’s coming back for more — and they’re not leaving anything to chance.
