Winners and losers following the Eagles' 2025 offseason
Winners and losers following the Eagles' 2025 offseason As we await the arrival of training camp, here are the winners and losers of the Philadelphia Eagles' offseason.
The Eagles have moved past Super Bowl 59 and are locked in on having a singular focus on the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and now the Mandatory Minicamp have concluded, and Philadelphia will get a five-week break before returning to the NovaCare Complex.
Training Camp begins in late July – July 22 is report day, with a July 23 practice to follow – and a surprise move or two could still be on the way, but the majority of the work has been completed. As we await the arrival of training camp, here are the winners and losers of the Eagles' offseason.
Winners
Nick Sirianni
Sirianni landed a new contract during the offseason. With no contract disputes or severe injuries, Sirianni confirmed that all 90 players on the Eagles roster were in attendance, giving some insight into the urgency of this season and the leadership in place.
WR Jahan Dotson
With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith working out at their respective camps, Jalen Hurts was able to build a connection with Jahan Dotson and other Eagles pass catchers. Dotson reportedly didn't have any drops during the off-season, and he's in line for a breakout season in a contract year.
OL Tyler Steen
Tyler Steen appeared to take all of the snaps as the starting right guard, as he had during OTAs. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was far from crowing Steen the winner when asked about the positional battle before practice.
QB Kyle McCord
The St. Joseph's Prep product mixed in throws to other receivers as he split third-unit snaps with Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He's not nipping at Tanner McKee's heels, but McCord will definitely make the roster.
WR Danny Gray
Gray was a topic of discussion around the NovaCare Complex, and the player we featured in a recent article continues to turn heads at Eagles practice. Gray signed with the Eagles' practice squad in mid-September after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated for a single game during the 2024 campaign.
Losers
Kenyon Green
Acquired in a trade for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Green had a quiet offseason. Tyler Steen appeared to take all of the snaps as the starting right guard, as he had during OTAs. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, when asked about the positional battle before practice, listed Matt Pryor, Trevor Keegan, Darian Kinnard, and Brett Toth as also being in the mix when training camp begins next month.
LB Jihaad Campbell
First-round picks are essential, and Campbell was the first linebacker selected by Philadelphia in the first round since 1979. Campbell wasn't able to practice much this spring, but the Eagles are setting clear expectations for his summer. The good news for Campbell is that he should be able to maintain his conditioning as he rehabs that surgically repaired shoulder.
QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson
The Eagles acquired the former UCLA star in a trade that sent Kenny Pickett to Cleveland. Upon arriving, Thompson-Robinson discussed playing Chess with Jalen Hurts and offered elite athleticism at the position. Fast-forward a few weeks, and Philadelphia drafted former Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord in the sixth round. Philadelphia will carry four quarterbacks throughout the summer, but Roseman drafted McCord, and he fits what the Eagles do with the deep ball.
Loser-DB Sydney Brown
The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Houston for Kenyon Green, opening up a starting role for Sydney Brown or Tristin McCollum. Brown is a physical safety who is stout on special teams but doesn't operate efficiently in space or match up against elite pass catchers. Enter Andrew Mukuba, a Swiss army knife from Texas who could keep Brown relegated to special team duties. Mukuba can play the slot, operate in space, and play with range, drawing comparisons to Gardner-Johnson.
CB Eli Ricks
The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Ringo is the biggest winner, and although he'll battle Jackson, Ricks is barely mentioned when it comes to first team reps.

Eagles RB AJ Dillon joins the fan club of a rising WNBA star
A rising WNBA star's grit has earned the unexpected support of Eagles RB AJ Dillon. Sometimes, nothing needs to be done other than offering a round of applause. The WNBA must be given credit for the job it has done and for growing its game. Some of the new stars have much to do with that, as they have helped introduce professional women's basketball to a larger audience. Who knows? We may even see a few more jerseys at Philadelphia Eagles games. Speaking of jerseys, one of the new Birds made sure to grab his, and he had no issue with letting everyone know about it. A.J. Dillon grabs his Sophie Cunningham jersey. If you haven't been paying attention to the sports world these past few months, here's what you missed recently. The Eagles, already being home to the great Saquon Barkley, added a sledgehammer in A.J. Dillon. So, now, they have 'Saquads' and 'Quadzilla' on their roster. Meanwhile, in 'The W, ' the Indiana Fever continues to catch fire and grab headlines. Their recent tussle with the Connecticut Sun brought with it multiple heated altercations, including some pushing and shoving that sent shockwaves through social media following a hard foul by Sophie Cunningham on Jacy Sheldon. Since embracing the 'enforcer' role, Cunningham added new fans and more social media followers. She recently saw an uptick in TikTok support. A.J. Dillon bought a jersey and made sure everyone knew about it. So far, there has been no word as to whether or not Cunningham returned the favor by buying A.J.'s Eagles jersey. Check back for updates. Like Dillon, Cunningham is enjoying her first season on a new roster in a new city. This is her first season teaming with Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, DeWanna Barber, and Indiana's loaded roster. She was traded to the Fever this past January after spending her first six WNBA seasons with the Phoenix Mercury. She also spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons with the WNBL's Melbourne Boomers.

Tom Brady Calls LeBron James 'The Greatest Ever' in Bold Praise
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NBA has seen some of the best players to ever grace the basketball court. Many range from the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, and one who many consider the greatest of all time: Michael Jordan. The NBA has seen the most prominent stars ever to walk the face of the earth; however, none may be as big and bright as Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. James' resume speaks for itself, and while he's self-appointed himself as the G.O.A.T., many others share the same sentiment, including NFL legend and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. At the Fanatics Fest event in New York City, Brady took the stage alongside James, discussing a range of topics. In the process, Brady has the utmost praise for James, calling him 'the greatest ever.' LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Tom Brady speak onstage during Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City.

"He's always risen above all the noise and B.S. and continued to deliver." "So you're witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you guys all appreciate that." Tom Brady on LeBron James: 'You're witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you all appreciate that.' (h/t @MaskedInLA, @FanaticsFest) — Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) June 21, 2025 Brady is undoubtedly the greatest of all time in his sport, and it is clear that he sees that in James as well. James' resume is second to none. Throughout his 22-year career, James is a 21-time All-Star, a four-time NBA champion, a four-time Finals MVP, a four-time NBA MVP, a 21-time All-NBA selection, a six-time All-Defensive team member, and a member of the 75th Anniversary team. The 40-year-old superstar is still at the top of his game, much like Brady when he played in the NFL. Brady didn't retire until the ripe age of 45, and if James wanted to, it seems okay he could play for that long. However, many expect that this upcoming season will be James' final in the NBA. The expectation for James is that he will opt into his $52.6 million contract with the Lakers and ride off into the sunset with what he hopes is a team that can contend for an NBA title next season. Regardless of what's next for James, one thing remains undeniable — at the very least, he stands as one of the top three players ever to play the game.
