Howie Roseman Explains Eagles’ Key Losses, Urges Fans to Trust His Vision

Philadelphia, PA – March 13, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman addressed the team’s significant offseason turnover in a press conference today, shedding light on the departure of several cornerstone players while calling on fans to keep faith in his strategy following the Super Bowl LIX victory.

Roseman acknowledged that losing Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), C.J. Gardner-Johnson (Texans), and Haason Reddick (Buccaneers) stemmed from the realities of a championship roster. “When you win, top players get massive offers we can’t always match,” he said. “We prioritized keeping stars like Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, which meant tough sacrifices elsewhere.”

He also revealed that letting some veterans walk was a deliberate move to secure compensatory draft picks for 2026, part of a long-term rebuilding plan. “This isn’t just loss—it’s an investment in the future,” Roseman emphasized, pointing to short-term signings like AJ Dillon and Joshua Uche as calculated risks.

Facing fan concerns over a weakened roster, Roseman pleaded for patience: “I get the frustration, but trust me. We’ve won two titles in eight years with different teams. I’ll get us back to the top.” With $22 million in cap space still in hand, he hinted at more surprises before the 2025 season.

Reactions on X were mixed. “Howie’s a genius, but losing Sweat and Reddick stings,” one fan posted. Another countered, “If anyone can pull this off, it’s him.”
