What the Eagles did in the 2022 offseason served as the perfect microcosm of the game plan Roseman has employed. He was certainly opportunistic and nimble working within a tight salary cap structure when the team added premier edge rusher Haason Reddick, wide receiver A.J. Brown, linebacker Kyzir White, and cornerback James Bradberry. How the Eagles did that with apparent minimal wiggle room within the salary cap, well, it was quite a feat. And all of those players are immediate-impact veterans who have fit right into the equation throughout this summer.
But Roseman also fulfilled the other part of his approach, adding “succession” players.

Davis has played well to date and who knows how much playing time he will earn this season, but he wasn’t drafted to be “the guy” right away in his career. He has had the benefit of learning in the same room with some great players who have shared their tricks of the trade on how to have success in this league.
“Technique. It’s all about technique,” Davis said. “Learning from those guys, man, it’s been great. They’ve all helped me so much. You can’t just win with talent at this level. You have to know how to work it and study the little things and perfect your technique. That’s where I’m at in my development, still learning the technique. I get better every day, I feel.”
Second-round draft pick Cam Jurgens is in the same situation. He’s gained valuable reps with Jason Kelce sidelined after undergoing a routine cleanout in his right elbow and was highly impressive in Friday’s preseason opener. Jurgens fits into the picture along the offensive line, but as it projects now, it may not happen in 2022. Everyone thought the same thing about Dickerson 12 months ago, so you don’t know what the immediate future holds, but the Eagles are in a great position from tackle to tackle along the…
