The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a monumental collapse towards the end of last season, and critics had written them off for this season as well. However, the Eagles showed their grit by making their way back into the Super Bowl.
Philly fans can’t help but appreciate general manager Howie Roseman’s tireless work in the offseason to get them to this point.
Greg Olsen and Eagles Fans in Harmony Over Howie Roseman’s Job
Former tight end and current Fox broadcaster Greg Olsen took to X to point out the success that new recruits have brought to the Eagles team.
Rookies and free agents, including running back Saquon Barkley, are in contention for winning AP NFL Honors. After the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders to claim the NFC crown, Olsen shared his appreciation for the team’s success.
“Is this the best offseason in NFL history? Not one of these players/coach were on roster a season ago,” he tweeted.

Barkley Is Geared Up for the Super Bowl
Barkley faced tons of criticism when he left the New York Giants to link up with the Eagles. However, the veteran running back was pleased after lifting the George Halas Trophy following the NFC Championship Game.
Barkley highlighted that he moved to Philadelphia for nights like these.
“Of course, that’s why I came here,” Barkley said. “That was one of the first conversations I had with [GM Roseman]. That was the conversation I had with my family.
“I came to Philly to be a part of games like this. Nothing better than a game when you can advance to the Super Bowl, so I’m super excited about that.”
