PHOENIX — There’s no such thing as rebuilding in the NFL. It is a buzzword, nothing more. It is a thing that gets said when there is nothing of substance to say. It is a preemptive excuse. Rebuilding is nothing more than a rebranded version of stinking. If a general manager is saying it, teams are lowering their own bar.
That is the lesson of Super Bowl LVII. Look at the rosters of the Eagles and the Chiefs. Listen to their philosophies. Most of all, consider the facts.
— Of the roughly 50,000 snaps logged by Eagles and Chiefs players during the 2022 regular season, roughly 14,000 came via players in their first year with the team. That’s more than a quarter of the playing time.
