The Eagles are about two weeks out from starting their off-season workouts, and the offense will look tremendously different after the departure of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. In are Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator, Josh Grizzard as passing game coordinator, Jerron Johnson as a senior offensive assistant, Chris Kuper as offensive line coach, Ryan Mahaffey as run game coordinator/tight ends coach, and Parks Frazier as QB coach.

With the NFL draft fast approaching, we're making an early prediction of the Eagles' offensive starters.

QB:​


Starter: Jalen Hurts: $31,971,800

The Eagles traded a 7th-round pick to Carolina to acquire veteran quarterback Andy Dalton. Jalen Hurts will shortly begin on-field work with Sean Mannion. They will benefit from having the former quarterback, along with Josh Grizzard (pass game coordinator) and another former quarterback, Jerrod Johnson, on staff as senior assistants. Hurts threw for 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns, six interceptions, with 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 16 regular-season games last season.

RB:​


Starter: Saquon Barkley: $9,881,100

2nd: Tank Bigsby: $1,485,399

Last season, Barkley played in 16 games (16 starts), running for 1,140 yards on 280 carries (4.1 avg.) with 7 TDs, adding 273 receiving yards on 37 catches (7.4 avg.) With two touchdowns Became the first Eagle since LeSean McCoy in 2013-14 to post back-to-back 1,000+ yard rushing seasons. A key trade acquisition, the hard-running Bigsby participated in 16 contests (one start) with the Eagles, recording 356 rushing yards on 63 carries (5.7 avg.) and 2 touchdowns.

WR:​


Starter -A.J. Browns: $23,393,498

Starter -DeVonta Smith: $10,726,510

DeVonta Smith (1,008) and A.J. Brown (1,003) are the only Eagles WR duo to produce 1,000+ receiving yards each in the same season. The explosive Hollywood Brown had 49 catches for 587 yards and 5 TDs last season.

TE:​


Starter Dallas Goedert: $7 million

Last season, Goedert started 15 games, catching 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-high and Eagles franchise high 11 touchdown catches. Goedert had two touchdowns in the playoff loss. A Former college teammate of Jalen Hurts at Oklahoma, eaching the end of his rookie contract. Calcaterra played in 62 games with 22 starts. Mundt will play the third tight end, run-blocking role. Latu will assume the role of fullback.

OL:​


Starter - Lane Johnson: $20,299,000

Starter --Jordan Mailata: $15,855,233

Starter - Landon Dickerson: $10,275,000

Starter - Cam Jurgens: $5,421,200

Starter - Tyler Steen: $3,900,534

A down year led to Jeff Stoutland's departure. The Eagles' offensive line suffered multiple injuries in 2025. Landon Dickerson was excellent in 2024 but finished the 2025 regular season with a 60.3 PFF pass-blocking grade, which ranked only 51st among 81 qualifying guards. Jordan Mailata didn't replicate his elite 2024 campaign, but he was still Philadelphia's best offensive lineman. His 83.8 PFF overall grade ranked seventh among all offensive tackles. Johnson's value is clear: the Eagles were 8-2 with him in the lineup this season, versus 3-4 without him. During his tenure in Philadelphia, the team's record is 94-41-1 when he plays and 15-27 when he doesn't.
