In this bonus episode of the Locked On Eagles podcast, host Ross Jackson provides a comprehensive NFC East preview following the 2026 NFL Draft and offseason moves. While the Philadelphia Eagles remain the favorites to win the NFC East and pursue a historic three-peat, Jackson emphasizes that the division has significantly improved on paper, making the race far more competitive than in recent years. He highlights major upgrades across the Giants, Commanders, and Cowboys—particularly in coaching, quarterback development, and defensive talent—while still affirming the Eagles' overall roster superiority. Despite the increased competition, Jackson maintains confidence in the Eagles' depth, coaching staff, and especially Jalen Hurts' clutch performance in high-pressure situations, which he views as the key differentiator in a tight race.
The Eagles remain the NFC East favorites in 2026, but the division is now significantly more competitive than in past years.
The Giants, Commanders, and Cowboys all made substantial offseason improvements, particularly on defense and with young quarterback development.
Jalen Hurts is still the most trusted quarterback in the division for late-season clutch performances, despite strong competition from Jackson Dart, Jaden Daniels, and Dak Prescott.
The Eagles’ roster depth, coaching staff, and front office (led by Howie Roseman) give them a sustainable edge over rivals.
A three-peat in the NFC East would be historic, as no team has repeated since 2004, and this year’s race may feature multiple playoff contenders.

The Case for Jalen Hurts as the Division's Best QB
