Eagles pursue internal fixes to a fragile defense rather than big trades, shifting pieces like Jihaad Campbell to edge rusher and Cooper DeJean to outside corner while hoping Nakobe Dean’s return stabilizes the middle. The plan emphasizes versatility over pricey rentals, betting Fangio’s scheme can squeeze more pressure and better coverage from current personnel.

By keeping draft capital and avoiding costly rentals, Philadelphia aims for a pragmatic midseason rebound. The strategy hinges on development and fit, not marquee names, against a schedule loaded with dynamic offenses and top-tier receivers.
