PHILADELPHIA — What the Eagles are trying to do next season is not unheard of in the NFL, but it’s pretty damn close.
What they’re trying to do is win a Super Bowl the year after they lost a Super Bowl. Just three teams in the league’s history have managed to pull off that trick, and only one, the 2018 New England Patriots, has done it in the last half-century.
If, once he finishes signing free agents and drafting players and creating cap space, Howie Roseman has built a team that ends up celebrating a championship at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Feb. 11, 2024, it would rank as his greatest achievement as a player-personnel executive. He could even resign that night — go out on a high note, in Costanza-like fashion — and no one would begrudge him.
