​Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …5 Eagles heading into 2026 poised for Pro Bowl jump – NBCSPDeVonta Smith. After months of speculation, the Eagles finally traded A.J. Brown to the Patriots this offseason. That means that for the first time since his rookie season in 2021, DeVonta Smith is the Eagles’ WR1. But this time, he could be in for a huge season, especially under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. There’s a hope that this new offense will accentuate Smith’s skills. And there’s a feeling inside the Eagles building that Smith has just scratched the surface of what he can be in the NFL. In his five NFL seasons, Smith has been no slouch. He has averaged over 1,000 yards per season with his best year in 2022, when he had nearly 1,200 yards. That season he had 136 targets but has averaged 104.5 in his other four seasons. If Smith ends up with 140-150 targets, he could be in store for a wildly productive 2026 season.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEagles schedule preview: Titans – BGNThe easy question is some version of “can Cam Ward make the year 2 jump” but that doesn’t really matter for the Titans. Even if he does, the rest of this franchise is a joke. Coming off a 3-14 season, a new head coach should bring in a culture change. Let’s take a look at how that’s going.Red-yellow-green light: Eagles injury concerns heading into training camp – PhillyVoiceiDL Jalen Carter: Shoulder? Money? Carter skipped voluntary OTAs and did not participate in 11-on-11’s in mandatory minicamp. Carter dealt with shoulder injuries last offseason. He is also eligible for a contract extension, which would almost certainly cost north of $30 million per season. “I’m sorry, I’m not going to get into all those different things,” Nick Sirianni said, when asked in June if Carter’s absence was injury and/or contract related. “Right now, I’ve been able to work some individual scenarios and individual practices, and everybody’s in a little bit different boat right now of where they are in the offseason, and that’s where Jalen is right now.” Carter is a “hold in” candidate. (In case you’re unfamiliar with what “hold in” means, a common thing players with contract beefs have done in recent years is show up to camp so they don’t get fined, but they don’t participate.) His participation (or lack thereof) will be a very obvious storyline Day 1 of training camp. Good to go?

Goedert exploded for a career-high 11 touchdowns, posted nine double-digit fantasy weeks and averaged 12.3 fantasy points over 15 games in 2025. With over 120 targets available following A.J. Brown’s departure and maneuvering his way through Sean Mannion’s TE friendly scheme, there’s belief that Goedert could continue to shovel his way to high-end fantasy numbers. While the calculu
