As the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles don't have many needs that should keep them from being a top team in 2025.
Despite dealing with numerous departures in free agency, the Eagles have a roster that is both young and full of depth at almost every position. Despite this, though, that doesn't mean Philly should be pleased with where their roster is.
General manager Howie Roseman is never really satisfied either.
Pro Football Focus's Trevor Sikkema understands that well. That's why in an article detailing all 32 teams' biggest needs, Sikkema believes that Philadelphia's biggest need comes at edge rusher.
And All-Pro pass rusher Matthew Judon would make a lot of sense.
"This exercise doesn’t apply to the Eagles, who once again have a stacked roster. Last season, they featured nine defensive linemen who earned a 69.0-plus PFF overall grade," Sikkema wrote. "Losing Josh Sweat, who played the second-most snaps along the defensive line (821), means the unit needs others to step up. It could be a big year for Jalyx Hunt, who earned a 69.0 PFF overall grade in his rookie season."
Philadelphia has young edge rushers like Nolan Smith and Hunt to pick up the slack from Sweat's departure. Finding a veteran to replace the likes of Brandon Graham, though, isn't easy.
It's why Judon may be a perfect fit for the Eagles.
Judon may not be the player he once was as a star with the New England Patriots, but the Eagles wouldn't ask him to be. The team just needs to figure out a way to bolster their pass rush.
And Judon would be an excellent fit.
