Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …Offensive Line Investments for 2026 – Over The CapI thought we could take a look today at offensive line investments across the NFL. I decided to do the valuations a bit differently here. For any player who was on a non drafted contract I used their standard APY to calculate their average salary value. For a draft pick I used their projected value based on the Fitzgerald-Spielberger draft chart and the position they play. While this may not be as accurate for the production of 4th year rookies where we have a better understanding of how good the player is, it does give us a decent way to look at upside that exists with the young players on the roster. I used the top 10 valued players to take into account how much depth a team has rather than just the top 5. Not surprisingly, the Eagles ranked tops in the NFL in this metric with over $110 million per season invested in their offensive line. The only other team over $100 million was the Panthers. The Panthers group likely has more upside of the two. Their non draft picks are a full year younger on average than the Eagles group (The Eagles near 30 year old average should be alarming) and they have $38 million potentially invested in young talent compared to $22 million for the Eagles.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNFL survey has Jalen Hurts ranked outside of the top 10 quarterbacks – BGNThe latest position of focus in ESPN’s annual NFL survey of league executives, coaches, and scouts is the most important one in football: quarterback.

During his rookie season, Mukuba compiled 46 tackles, two INTs, and three pass breakups. His biggest play of the season came in Week 2, when he picked off a Patrick Mahomes pass intended for Travis Kelce deep in Eagles territory, and returned it 41 yards. That was also easily the biggest play in that game. Mukuba was up and down in the games he played, but was beginning to earn Vic Fangio’s trust before he suffered a broken fibula Week 12 in Dallas. That ended his season. Mukuba should be a better player in 2026. We’ll see. But the bigger concern is his durability, since, you know, he had shoulder, hamstring, and fibula injuries last season. Mukuba measured in at 5’11, 186 at the 2025 NFL Combine, and his ability to stay on the field was a potential knock on scouting reports. Well, we saw that his rookie season.Eagles 2026 Training Camp Position Preview: Safety – PhiladelphiaEagles.comDefensive Coordinator Vic Fangio on the safety competition: “It’s open.
