The Philadelphia Eagles are already betting favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champions in 2025, in large part because they bring back every key piece on offense and a young nucleus of stars on defense.
That’s not to say the Eagles still don’t need a few pieces here and there. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports they will use their war chest of draft picks to fill those spots by making multiple trades during the upcoming NFL draft.
“I don’t know for who, I don’t know for what, I don’t know when it will happen,” Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on April 7. “They will be moving and shaking, as they usually do in Philadelphia … I think that they’ve got as much fire power in this draft as any team out there. When you give a Super Bowl champion roster 20 draft picks over the next two drafts to go have fun with you become a team to watch.”
The Eagles have used their money to reward players already on the roster this offseason, including a 3-year, $51 million contract for NFL All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun and a 2-year, $41.2 million contract extension for NFL Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley.
Barkley’s deal made him the first running back in NFL history to break the $20 million mark in terms of average annual salary.
