In case it wasn’t clear, the Los Angeles Rams proved that they’re preparing for another Super Bowl run.
Just before Free Agency began, the Rams traded four picks (including 29th overall) to the Chiefs for CB Trent McDuffie.
To follow up on that, on June 1st, the Rams had some of the biggest news of all. Trading three picks, including a 2027 1st, 2028 2nd, and a 2029 3rd, the Rams also added Jared Verse to the package to the Cleveland Browns to acquire Myles Garrett.
The Rams are back in a win-now position, and the Eagles could be in the same mindset.
Following the A.J. Brown Aftermath
The Eagles prepared all offseason for AJ Brown’s departure, from signing Hollywood Brown to Elijah Moore. To trade for Dontayvjon Wicks, and even drafting Makai Lemon 20th overall.

Now, heading into the 2026 season. The Eagles hold 7 picks in the 2027 draft, including their 1st and 2nd rounds, as well as multiple 5th- and 7th-round picks. They could be expecting more once compensatory picks are given out after the 2026 season is over.
And when you look towards the 2028 draft. The Eagles currently hold all 7 of their own draft picks, as well as an extra 1st round pick courtesy of the AJ Brown trade. Last year, the Eagles had multiple 1st-round picks and capitalized by acquiring more picks, including a top-10 pick from the New Orleans Saints.
Additional Signings: DE AJ Epenesa and OG Michael Jordan
Throughout the week, the Eagles signed an additional two players during their OTAs: former Buffalo Bills defensive end AJ Epenesa.
After 6 years in Buffalo, Epenesa tallied 24 sacks, including 3 straight years from 22-24 with 6+, and 135 total tackles. While not a player like Miles Garrett, adding depth along the defensive line was needed during the previous year, when injuries to Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter, and Azeez Ojulari occurred.
On the other side of the ball, OG Michael Jordan (no, not that one) signed with the Eagles. Offensive Line depth is always welcome in Philadelphia. With injuries to multiple players last year and a history of developing the OL. Jordan will join Drew Kendall, Jake Majors, Micah Morris, and Willie Lampkin, competing for backup positions across the offensive front.
With 3 months until the season begins, the Eagles still have plenty of time to make roster adjustments and major moves, whether that means signing available free agents like Jimmie Ward or Taylor Rapp to strengthen the secondary even more.
Or swinging for the fences and trading away picks for an impactful player like Maxx Crosby.
