Week 1 laid bare Philadelphia's cornerback gaps: Quinyon Mitchell on the boundary, Cooper DeJean in the slot, and Adoree' Jackson for whom the jury is still out. The Eagles are expected to hunt for help on the market, with Greg Newsome II floated by Kristopher Knox as a trade target for a 2026 third-round pick. Newsome’s versatility to play boundary or slot would be a meaningful upgrade, potentially reshaping Philly’s secondary and elevating fantasy prospects across the defense.

Brandon Graham, a 15-year Eagles staple and two-time Super Bowl champion, retires but stays in the game through media. His first move after football is a new podcast, The Unblocked Podcast featuring Brandon Graham, with Episode 1 dropping Wednesday. He has already shown up in Philly media and on podcasts, signaling a veteran voice who will keep influencing the sport well beyond his playing days.

Philly’s own podcasting wave mirrors the Kelce brothers’ New Heights success, signaling a trend of aging stars shaping football conversations from the mic. Graham’s retirement adds a veteran lens to the 2025 season and keeps fans engaged with his evolving media presence around the league.
