The Eagles keep getting pushed toward another edge rusher, but the idea of adding Von Miller doesn’t really match where this roster stands.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton made the case for Philadelphia to sign the 37-year-old, pointing to Miller’s fit with Vic Fangio and the possibility of a second stint with the Denver Broncos. Moton wrote that if Miller is open to that return, “Perhaps he would be willing to play under former Broncos head coach and defensive play-caller Vic Fangio. If so, the 14-year pro could bolster the Philadelphia Eagles' outside linebacker group.”
He also argued that the Eagles still need help opposite Jonathan Greenard, saying the team “don't have a reliable pass-rusher on the opposite side,” even though Jalyx Hunt flashed last season and Nolan Smith Jr. has not lived up to his first-round billing from the 2023 draft, with just 10.5 sacks.
But the case for Miller gets shaky once you look at what Philadelphia already has on hand.
That’s not a knock on Miller himself. He’s a future Hall of Famer, a two-time Super Bowl champion, a Super Bowl MVP, an eight-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro. Even at 37, he still produced nine sacks with the Washington Commanders.
Still, the Eagles’ edge group is getting treated like a bigger problem than it actually is. Hunt deserves more credit after leading the Eagles in sacks last season with 6.5 and adding three interceptions.
Smith’s 2025 season can absolutely be questioned, but he still brings pressure off the edge. Philadelphia also added Arnold Ebiketie and A.J.
Epenesa for depth.
That’s why the urgency around another edge rusher feels off. The Eagles appear to be in a better spot there than they were a year ago, and the bigger concerns are elsewhere, especially at safety and along the depth of the offensive line.
For now, general manager Howie Roseman seems focused on the secondary rather than spending more money on another pass rusher. And based on that, the idea of bringing in Miller looks more like outside noise than a real need.

Eagles Have A Jake Elliott Problem Nobody Can Ignore Anymore
The Eagles have spent the offseason acting as if Jake Elliott is still their answer at kicker, even after a stretch that has made every miss feel a little louder. Philadelphia has stayed publicly confident in Elliott, and special teams coach Michael Clay has framed the issue as one of confidence and fundamentals, the kind of reset a veteran can sometimes find before it turns into something more serious.
Still, the concern is hard to dismiss when a reliable leg starts looking ordinary on the kinds of kicks that swing games in January. Elliotts recent dip has left the Eagles with a question they have not had to answer yet, but one that could get more uncomfortable if the long-range problems linger and the team decides it needs a real look at other options.

Eagles Camp Projection Just Raised A Troubling Secondary Question
A fresh 53-man roster projection has already turned training camp into an early sorting exercise for the Eagles, with several spots looking far less settled than they might seem on paper. The exercise also underscores how quickly the back end of the roster can shift in Philadelphia, where young players and veterans alike are being measured not just against depth-chart needs, but against how well they fit what the staff wants to do.
The clearest source of unease is in the secondary, where the safety picture remains the biggest question heading into camp. Andrew Mukuba, Marcus Epps, J.T. Gray, Michael Carter II and Cole Wisniewski are all part of that mix, and the uncertainty there spills into the rest of the roster bubble as well, with Darius Cooper, Wisniewski and Ty Robinson among the names closest to the cut line.

Nick Sirianni Had A Blunt Response To Eagles Doubters
The Eagles keep living in the strange space that comes with real success: plenty of wins, plenty of postseason trips, and still plenty of outside noise. Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts have both been central to that run, but the conversation around the team keeps drifting toward criticism and speculation instead of the results on the field, which is part of why the scrutiny around Philadelphia never really goes away.
Sirianni seems well aware of that dynamic, and he has leaned into the idea that the only thing worth his attention is the next week of preparation. Even with his own rsum growing and Hurts continuing to stack victories, the national conversation still finds ways to frame the Eagles as a team under suspicion rather than one that has earned its place near the top.
