NFL Fans Lose It as Eagles’ Howie Roseman Locks Up Stars—Are Philly’s Glory Days Here to Stay?

Posted: March 6, 2025 / By: Jake Thompson, Yahoo Sports

PHILADELPHIA – Howie Roseman’s done it again, and NFL fans outside Philly are downright furious. With the Eagles’ GM securing Jalen Hurts through 2029, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith through 2030, plus Jordan Mailata and Landon Dickerson through 2029, the Birds’ core is locked and loaded. After a Super Bowl LIX romp (let’s say 40-22 over the Chiefs), fans league-wide are slamming their own GMs, fearing Philly’s set to rule the NFL for the next 4-5 years.

Chiefs fans on X are leading the meltdown. “Roseman’s got Hurts til 2029 while we’re cutting Wentz? Our GM’s asleep!” one posted. Another fumed: “Howie’s building a dynasty, and we’re stuck with Mahomes carrying scrubs!” Over on Reddit’s r/NFL, a Cowboys fan vented: “Eagles have their whole offense signed forever—meanwhile, Jerry Jones can’t even keep Dak happy. I’m sick of this.” Even 49ers fans chimed in: “Brock Purdy’s great, but our GM’s got no vision—Philly’s about to eat our lunch for half a decade.”

The numbers back up the panic. Hurts, 26, just threw for 4,000+ yards and 35 TDs (fake 2024 stats). Barkley, 28, ran for a historic 2,000 yards. Brown and Smith, both under 30, combined for 2,500 receiving yards. Add Mailata and Dickerson anchoring the O-line—rated top-5 by PFF—and it’s a nightmare for the NFC. “Eagles could run the table til 2030,” a begrudging Lions fan tweeted. “Our GM’s drafting busts while Howie’s hoarding Pro Bowlers.”

Philly fans? They’re gloating. “Howie’s a genius—rest of the NFL can cry about it,” one X post bragged. Reddit’s r/Eagles is a party: “Five more years of Hurts to Brown TD’s—good luck stopping us!” Roseman’s masterclass has rivals green with envy—and green jerseys set to dominate.
