Za’Darius Smith joins Philadelphia, bringing a veteran, violent edge presence to an already deep group. His nine sacks last year and proven ability to win with power should upgrade the third-edge role and provide a cushion for Nolan Smith’s youth. The move signals a smarter, deeper rotation and could unlock more interior pressure as Philadelphia retools its pass rush.

Nolan Smith and Josh Uche gain a steadying influence, Aziz Ojulari’s upside remains high, and Jalen Carter’s development gets a clearer path with veteran heft around him. Expect Philly to lean into more stunt work and inside-out pressure looks, raising the floor for the defense and giving fantasy streaming options for the unit and its edge players.
