The initial blitz of NFL free agency, with several teams getting better, some staying put, and others clearly tanking for the right to draft high in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Eagles added Malik Jackson in free agency, brought back Brandon Graham and then topped it off by trading for the prodigal son, DeSean Jackson.
With the NFL offseason now officially underway, here are the post-free agency power rankings from USA Today, with the Eagles landing squarely in the top-10.
Per USA Today:
9. Eagles (9): OK, Mr. Wentz, time to show you can do more than go seven strong innings. If so, there will doubtless be a statue erected of you as well.
In what could be deemed a surprise and a picture of the new NFL, the Birds came in behind the Browns, who got an initial ranking of No. 9, after trading for Odell Beckham Jr. The Eagles were the highest ranked NFC East team, with the Cowboys coming in at No. 18, the Giants at No. 29, and the Redskins at No. 31. Rounding out the top-10, the Seahawks came in at No. 10, followed by the Eagles, Browns, Vikings, Colts, Rams, Chiefs, Saints, Chargers, and the world champion New England Patriots taking the top spot.
