Summary
Howie Roseman said Philadelphia had targeted extensions for Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis since the offseason, calling defensive tackle a scarce position and a long-term roster priority.
Roseman pushed back on reports the Eagles hesitated on Carter because of off-field concerns, saying the team had tried to sign the 25-year-old in March and viewed the deal as a bet on future performance.
Nick Sirianni said the backup quarterback job will be a competition between Andy and Tanner McKee, with camp rotations continuing despite Andy's greater NFL experience.
Roseman also said veteran Greenard's injury is not a long-term concern and stressed the roster remains unfinished, with Philadelphia still exploring trade opportunities during camp.
How much risk are the Eagles really taking by investing heavily in the defensive front while Greenard recovers and multiple depth battles remain unsettled?
Did the Eagles just reveal their entire roster-building blueprint by making Jalen Carter a record-setting defensive tackle and doubling down on the interior line?
If the Eagles trust Tanner McKee’s consistency and Andy Dalton’s experience, why does the backup quarterback job still feel unresolved?
