There are a lot of people hoping that the Philadelphia Eagles will bounce back after their dissolution at the end of last season.
After starting at 10-1, they lost five of their last six regular season games and were defeated in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
To further improve this season, the Eagles recently made some small moves to free agent defensive tackle Marlon Topolotto and bring back DT Byron Young, via time and not X.

Young was a solid player for four seasons at the University of Alabama, where he won the College Football Playoff National Championship in the 2020 season and earned second-team All-SEC honors in the 2022 season.
He was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders, but appeared in just six games last season and made just four tackles in total.
The Eagles have plenty of talent on both sides of the game, including star running back Saquon Barkley, who was designated a free agent this offseason.
However, his defence, which was the most unsuccessful last season, faces many doubts.
In fact, they recently lost James Bradberry for 6-8 weeks after the cornerback suffered a non-training leg injury.
Last season, the Eagles just finished last in the NFL in several defensive categories, and everyone was looking forward to a disappointing playoff loss to the Bucs.
