With the NFL offseason still underway and some other decisions that have to be made for the Philadelphia Eagles, there's a possibility that things will look a lot different over the next few weeks to months.

However, as everything currently stands, the Eagles have done just as good a job as any team in the NFL.

Just as every season brings, there will be challenges to some of the decisions the Eagles have made. The biggest one will be what eventually happens with A.J. Brown, as the star wide receiver is likely to be traded over the next few weeks.

After that, perhaps people will view the Eagles' offseason much differently than they currently do, but there seems to be a well-known expectation that Brown won't be on the roster. Even with that in mind, The Athletic recently named the Eagles as the biggest offseason winners, and it's tough to argue with.

“Offensively, potentially losing A.J. Brown would hurt. The post-June 1 trade seems imminent, but the Eagles took an interesting approach to replacing him. They drafted Makai Lemon, a slot receiver who does his best work in the middle of the field, and tight end Eli Stowers, who is essentially a big slot that also works in the middle of the field. Jalen Hurts has targeted the intermediate middle of the field at one of the lowest rates of any quarterback in the league, and this has been consistent among multiple different play callers…

“What’s interesting is that this is the last season Hurts has guaranteed money left on his deal. As accomplished as he is, he has to prove he can grow as a passer and age gracefully as his athleticism declines. He’s won a lot of games and a Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean the Eagles owe him a lucrative contract if they think his game could continue to decline,” Ted Nguyen of The Athletic wrote.
