The Philadelphia Eagles are already being crowned as winners of the NFL offseason three months after falling agonisingly short at Super Bowl LVII.
Last month, franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts, who led them to the championship game, signed now the second-largest contract in the league and is tied down for the next five years at $51m-a-season. The Eagles are also widely credited with 'winning' last week's draft, highlighted by adding Jalen Carter with the ninth overall pick.
It is a far cry from how they entered free agency, with the franchise slated to lose plenty of players, and they have, shedding $163m (£130m) in salary. The front office, though, have managed to manoeuvre into a position of strength for another postseason run.
