What happened: Yahoo NFL ranked the Philadelphia Eagles No. 9 in its offseason power rankings, citing the team's one-and-done playoff exit that followed their Super Bowl LIX title. The rankings note Philadelphia traded receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots and enters the 2026 season with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
Why it matters: The Eagles won 11 games and a division title last season but were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs behind an offense that struggled under previous coordinator Kevin Patullo. The same A.J. Brown trade leaves Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley to anchor an offense now being retooled under Mannion, who is expected to put Hurts under center far more often.
By the numbers: The Eagles traded A.J. Philadelphia also traded ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers to select receiver Makai Lemon with the No.
What to watch: Mannion's new offensive scheme, with Hurts under center more often, will be tested once Philadelphia opens the 2026 season.
