Predicting Which Eagles Land in NFL's Top 100
The NFL is hours away from unveiling the Top 100 players from the 2024 season.
As the defending Super Bowl champions, it's safe to assume that the Philadelphia Eagles will have more names listed in that group of honorees than any other team in the league.

Right?
It's time to review the list of Eagles that should make the list this time. Our Who's Who …
Lane Johnson Johnson might just be the best right tackle in football. So long as he continues to play at a high level, he will most assuredly have a spot on this list until he retires.
Jordan Mailata If Johnson is the best right tackle, Mailata is right there as being a candidate for bring called the best left tackle in the game. His leadership and athleticism were fully displayed last season despite missing five games.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Gardner-Johnson led the best defense in football with six interceptions. His outspoken nature added a new edge to their desperately needed defense. He may now be in Houston, but Gardner-Johnson's standing in Philly will remain.

Cam Jurgens In his first season replacing a future Hall-of-Famer in Jason Kelce, Cam Jurgens reached the Pro Bowl last year while stabilizing Philadelphia's offensive line. He deserves a spot on the top 100 list.
A.J. Brown Brown is one of the best receivers in football. He missed four games last year, but still recorded over 1,000 yards receiving for the third straight year since he arrived in Philly.
Zack Baun Baun came from nowhere but then was one of the best linebackers in the sport last season. A first-team All-Pro, the former Saints player is a sure-fire pick on the top 100 list.
Jalen Carter Carter's numbers weren't the best of any interior defensive linemen, but this is one of those 'you gotta watch the game' guys as his impact on the Eagles was massive. He's a perennial All-Pro player who is only getting better.

Jalen Hurts You cannot have the Super Bowl MVP not make the list. Hurts was ranked highly after a down year in 2023, but it's a safe bet to assume he'll get a respectable slot after helping to lead the team to a championship.
Saquon Barkley Barkley won't just be on the list … he might just get ranked as the top overall player. Barkley is more than safe to get that honor after a 2,000-yard season and an NFL record for total rushing yards in a single season, including the playoffs.

Brayden Jacobs is so big he makes 6-foot-4 ex-NFL RB dad fun sized
Brandon Jacobs was an absolute nightmare for NFL defenses to tackle. At a listed 6-foot-4 and 264 pounds, he was built like an edge rusher but ran like the New York Giants once hoped Ron Dayne would. He totaled more than 5,000 rushing yards in eight seasons with New York, including a pair of 1,000-yard campaigns and two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots. This is all to say it's very difficult to make him look small. So if the soon-to-be 43-year-old running back is worried about that, maybe he should stop working out with his son, Brayden. Brayden Jacobs is a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle who committed to Clemson University as a high four-star recruit last January. And maybe the perspective or dad Brandon's weighted jumping form is playing tricks on me, but he certainly looks like he may have grown since his last official weigh-in. So let's see if that's just a camera tr-- Hmmm. Nope. That's just a big dude. The Jacobs genes produce tiny mountains who absolutely should never fly coach. Well, good luck getting around that, ACC pass rushers.

NFL GM trolls Steelers for offseason moves
The 2025 offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been interesting to say the least. The team has veered radically from its typical offseason plan of attack. Free agency and trades used to focus on younger players still ascending in their careers but this season the team's three biggest additions have been at best players who are peaked and at worst, on the backside of their careers. On Monday, the Steelers completed This approach drew some criticism from at least one NFL GM, according to Fox Sports. The GM praised the Miami Dolphins for adding safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in exchange for cornerabck Jalen Ramsey and feels like the Dolphins won this one for sure. Then they took a not-so-subtle shot at the Steelers moves as a whole. 'Seems both teams are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic," the GM said. While this is harsh, it isn't hard to come to this conclusion from the outside based on the Steelers history. Some have praised the Steelers for breaking from tradition and see this aggressive new approach as a positive just because it isn't the status quo. The best part about this debate is we will know in about seven months which side is right. The Steelers haven't won a playoff game since 2016 and are hoping these additions will be what puts them over the top. The debate now turns to what will consitute a success in 2025 after all these moves. Will a single playoff win justify all this or does the team need to make a deep run to not make these moves feel like desparation?
