If the Philadelphia Eagles were going to restore themselves as Super Bowl contenders, it was going to require new blood. Keegan wasn’t yet an Eagle when the overhaul began a year ago. The lineman was still relishing Michigan’s national championship parade when Philadelphia’s meltdown mercifully reached its end.

This upcoming offseason, the Eagles will have four free agents likely to made a good amount of money, whether they re-sign with the Eagles or go elsewhere. They are Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, Mekhi Becton, and Baun. Their losses won't be anywhere near as damaging as they were after the 2022 season. They'll be in a better position to retain Baun.

Danny Dimes ain’t walking through that door. Neither is Josh Johnson nor Case Keenum. But, hey, Malik Willis might be. Now that Week 18 is in the books, we can say two things about the Eagles’ pursuit of another Super Bowl ring.
