One anonymous NFL executive projected the Philadelphia Eagles as the No. 10 team in the NFC entering the 2024 season.

“There is too much noise there,” the executive explained, per Mike Sando of The Athletic.

The Eagles’ coaching staff underwent several changes at the end of a disappointing 2023 season, with Kellen Moore replacing Brian Johnson at offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio supplanting Sean Desai as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Philadelphia’s 2023 campaign started off promising following a Super Bowl 57 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The team jumped out to a 10-1 record after securing several narrow victories. However, the Eagles collapsed and lost six of their final seven games. That stretch included a lopsided 32-9 defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round.

If Philadelphia is unable to bounce back in 2024, head coach Nick Sirianni could be in trouble. The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reported on Monday that Sirianni “may be on the hot seat.”

His relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts could determine his future with the organization. On July 19, Dianna Russini of The Athletic revealed that the bond between Sirianni and Hurts is “still a work in progress” due to their contrasting personalities.

It’s difficult to imagine the Eagles missing the playoffs with an offense that features A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley. However, sweeping changes could be made by general manager Howie Roseman if the team continues to regress.
