The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t content with a Wild Card bid.
The Eagles pushed the clock forward on what looked to be an arduous rebuild by making it to the postseason last fall. Philadelphia had absorbed a then-record $63.7 million in dead salary cap space just to rid itself of Carson Wentz before the 2021 season. Then, led by a young roster and facing a weak schedule, the team took care of business. Nine wins and a playoff spot later, the Eagles declared themselves a potential problem for the rest of the NFC.
But Philadelphia was a dismissible evil, as its not-especially-close one-and-done postseason loss to the Buccaneers proved. General manager Howie Roseman wasn’t going to let that stand through the 2022 offseason. He’s made splashy acquisitions to wrap up winter and welcome spring. In the process, he’s taken his franchise from a +450 early underdog to unseat the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East to a worthy +175 contender to Dak Prescott’s throne, per Tipico.
