UPGRADES: Philadelphia Eagles BETTER EQUIPPED for a Super Bowl run in 2026 vs 2025?

On this Wednesday edition of the Locked On Eagles podcast, host Louis DiBiase evaluates whether the Philadelphia Eagles are better equipped for a Super Bowl run in 2026 compared to 2025. He breaks down the roster upgrades and downgrades position by position, concluding that while the team made five key improvements—tight end, running back, offensive line, cornerback, and coaching staff—they also experienced three minor downgrades at quarterback, wide receiver, and safety. Despite losing star wide receiver A.J. Brown, DiBiase argues the Eagles' depth and versatility at receiver, combined with the addition of high-upside players like Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers, make the position competitive. The defense, led by Vic Fangio, is projected to improve with the acquisition of Reek Wollin at cornerback and a stronger coaching staff under Sean Mannion. DiBiase emphasizes that the biggest upgrade may not be personnel, but the coaching overhaul, which he believes will elevate the offense after a historically poor 2025 performance under Kevin Petulo. Overall, he concludes the 2026 Eagles are more balanced, efficient, and better prepared for a deep playoff run than their 2025 counterpart.
