Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport he is "absolutely not" waving the white flag on the 2026 season, even as the team sits at 2‑2 and has lost two starting offensive linemen.

The Eagles traded guard/center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens and saw right tackle Lane Johnson announce a surprise retirement. Rapoport reported league speculation of a "sell‑off," but said the Eagles are still focused on winning now.

Roseman is reportedly willing to flip the 2028 second‑round pick acquired in the Jurgens deal for a player who can help this season, while also keeping Johnson on the 53‑man roster to mitigate salary‑cap repercussions and leaving the door open for a possible return.
