The had expectations entering the 2019 season, which is
expected given Philadelphia has one of the game's best
head coaches in Doug Pederson and a franchise quarterback
in . Philadelphia's biggest question entering the season
was whether Wentz could play a 16-game season after
having back-to-back years with a season-ending injury.
Wentz was finally able to capture the December magic of
his own by staying healthy, becoming the first
quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season in
franchise history as the banged-up Eagles rallied from a
5-7 start to win the NFC East and advance to the
postseason for the third consecutive year.Wentz
accomplished htis without their No. 1 running back to
begin the season ( ), their top three wide receivers ( ,
, and ), their top tight end ( ) playing with a broken
rib and a torn rib cartilage, their Pro Bowl right guard
( ) out with a dislocated shoulder and Pro Bowl right
tackle ( ) mi sing the last four games with an ankle
sprain. That was just on offense.Wentz was able to win
with the likes of practice squad players , and at wide
receiver, practice squad find at running back, the
emergence of
cardinals-jersey/giovanny-gallegos-jersey">Giovanny
Gallegos Jersey second-round pick as the No. 1 back
and as the No. 2 tight end.The Eagles have the hardest
part of the formula figured out: a head coach that has
won a Super Bowl and is one of the top five in the game
and a franchise quarterback that has his long-term deal.
Now it's putting the talent around Pederson and Wentz to
get the Eagles back amongst the 's elite and get Wentz
that Super Bowl title of his own. Here's what the Eagles
need to accomplish this offseason to get back into title
contention: A significant upgrade at WR, adding speed at
the positionThe Eagles wide receivers were their most
disappointing unit in 2019. Alshon Jeffery suddenly
became the oldest 29-year old in history (43 catches, 490
yards, four touchdowns in 10 games) and may mi s the
start of next season with a LisFranc injury. Jeffery will
be back in 2020 with a $15,446,500 salary thanks to a
restructure of his deal by Eagles general manager Howie
Roseman that ties them to the aging receiver (Eagles lose
$10,659,500 in cap space by cutting him). So Jeffery will
be back, but the Eagles need speed at the position in a
league that thrives off big plays down the field.Sure,
Philadelphia has DeSean Jackson for 2020, but he played
just 65 snaps and will be
cardinals-jersey/dakota-hudson-jersey">Dakota Hudson
Jersey 33 years old at the start of next season.
The Eagles can't rely solely on his game-breaking ability
and think everything is okay at wideout. Philadelphia
needs to get younger at wide receiver and add more speed
to compliment Jackson, whether or not he stays
healthy.The 2020 draft cla s is deep with speedy
playmakers at wide receiver, a position the Eagles should
target with their first-round pick towards Henry Ruggs
III (Alabama) or Jalen Reagor (TCU). The Eagles could
also use their seven draft picks in the first four rounds
(one in each round and three projected compensatory
picks) to trade up and target CeeDee Lamb (Oklahoma) or
Jerry Jeudy (Alabama), getting that game-breaking wide
receiver they desperately need. Philadelphia has a
keeper at the slot receiver in Ward, especially since
Agholor won't be back. The Eagles also have to see what
they have in 2019 second-round pick JJ Arcega-Whiteside,
who was a disappointment in his rookie season.
Philadelphia doesn't need to give Arcega-Whiteside an
expanded role in the offense, but they hope he can
develop into a reliable red zone threat. The Eagles
should use two of those seven picks in the first four
rounds (especially an early one) on receivers that can
stretch the field and open up the offense. Add that
combination with Jackson, Jeffery, and Ward instantly
makes the position better for a very good quarterback in
Wentz, who is on the cusp of being elite.If the Eagles
choose to explore the free agency route to add speed at
wide receiver, there isn't much out there. (27) and (26)
are the top options if the Eagles are looking
cardinals-jersey/trevor-rosenthal-jersey">Trevor Rosenthal
Jersey for downfield threats, but could command
high salaries based on the lack of playmakers on the
market. (27) would be nice, but paying him top dollar
isn't ideal for an Eagles team that needs to get younger
at so many positions. Philadelphia may

Jersey have just over $50 million in cap space, but
the Eagles need to use it wisely.2. Get younger at safety
while adding more depthFor years the Eagles had one of
the best safety tandems in the NFL with and , but both
players have a realistic chance of not returning in 2020.
Jenkins is 33 years old and wants a new deal, believing
he should be paid as one of the top five safeties in the
game. Jenkins has only mi sed six snaps since signing
with the Eagles in 2014 and he is the emotional voice of
the Eagles defense, so bringing him back shouldn't be
difficult. If the Eagles do decide to move on from
Jenkins, it's because they want to get younger at the
position even though replacing him would be near
improbable. McLeod played well in a year where the
Eagles restructured his deal to a one-year, prove-it
contract, but he will be 30 this offseason. Giving McLeod
long term money isn't helping the Eagles get younger on
the back end, so they may move on. There are a few free
agent options available for Philadelphia, as (27), HaHa
Clinton-Dix (27) and (25) would be ideal options that
wouldn't cost much should the Eagles decide to keep
Jenkins and move on from McLeod.Philadelphia also needs
some depth at safety, which they didn't get with and
Johnathan Cyprien early in the season. That forced the
Eagles to make the No. 3 safety late in the season. If
Philadelphia chooses to keep Jenkins and McLeod, they are
going to need to use a high draft pick on a safety they
can develop that can eventually replace one of the two
and contribute immediately. Xavier McKinney (Alabama) and
hybrid safety/cornerback Shaun Wade (Ohio State) are
ideal picks in the first two rounds the Eagles could use
a safety on.An internal option would be to move to safety
and give him some more playing time, as Douglas just
isn't fast enough to play in a man or zone scheme at
cornerback, but makes enough plays on the back end to
have a long NFL career at safety. With a crowded
cornerback picture, moving Douglas is an option Eagles
defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz must consider. 3. Add
a pa s-rushing specialist on the defensive lineThe Eagles
are high believers in rushing just four players in
getting to the quarterback under defensive coordinator
Jim Schwartz, but they were unable to do that this season
thanks to an inconsistent pa s rush

Jersey from their rotation in 2019. Philadelphia
decided to undergo a youth movement at defensive end by
moving on from and , banking on 2017 first-round pick and
2018 fourth-round pick to fill the void. Barnett didn't
live up to expectations on the right edge, finishing with
22 quarterback hits and 6.5 sacks with 48 pre sures.
Sweat was a pleasant surprise as a rotational piece -- he
totaled four sacks, 10 qua
