- Philadelphia Eagles are listed at +115 to win the NFC East on DraftKings Sportsbook, aiming to three-peat after back-to-back titles in 2024 and '25 ended a 21-year divisional drought without a repeat champion.
- A.J. Brown is headed to the Patriots after 5,034 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns across four Eagles seasons, with Philadelphia adding first-round pick Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
- Dak Prescott gets George Pickens on the franchise tag and new defensive coordinator Christian Parker (ex-Eagles), after Dallas allowed an NFL-high 511 points last season.
- John Harbaugh was hired as Giants head coach after Brian Daboll's November firing, then New York drafted Francis Mauigoa 10th overall and signed Isaiah Likely, Darnell Mooney, and Calvin Austin III.
- Jayden Daniels gets a new offensive coordinator in David Blough after Kliff Kingsbury's exit, with Washington adding tight end Chig Okonkwo, third-round receiver Antonio Williams, and linebacker Odafe Oweh.
- Eagles quietly landed edge rusher Jonathan Greenard from the Vikings for two third-round picks during draft weekend — their beat reporter flagged it as the underrated move that offsets the Jaelan Phillips free-agency loss.
- Malik Nabers is still recovering from a Week 4 torn right ACL and meniscus — plus a second surgery earlier this year to remove scar tissue — and remains uncertain for Week 1.
Why it matters: Three of the four NFC East teams are installing new coordinators this season and the Giants have handed their rebuild to a decorated head coach, meaning the Eagles' repeat bid runs through an aging offensive line and a quietly rebuilt pass rush rather than through proven coaching continuity.
