- Notes, takeaways from Eagles' HC Nick Sirianni at the NFL Combine
The league has descended upon Indianapolis for the NFL combine, and all eyes back in Philadelphia are on Howie Roseman and what decision he'll make in free agency and on All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown . Nick Sirianni made the trip, and he'll be focused on having a keen eye for elite talent to add.
Most of those decisions run through Roseman, and he addressed the media for about 40 minutes on Tuesday. Sirianni will oversee an offense led by Sean Mannion, the new offensive coordinator, and Josh Grizzard, the team's passing game coordinator.

Gone is Jeff Stoutland, replaced by Chris Kuper, as the Eagles ' offensive line approach will look drastically different in the future.
Sirianni on the Tush Push
Last spring, Green Bay 's proposal to ban the 'Tush Push' picked up steam and has supporters at the NFL Owners' Meetings in Florida. Two weeks earlier, the Packers proposed changing Rule 12, Section 1, ahead of the NFL's annual league meetings, seeking a permanent ban.
During Day 1 of the meetings, ESPN's Kalyn Kahler reported that the proposal has supporters and that there was "heated" back-and-forth today in the football ops session about the proposed ban. Before 2025, the play had been so incredibly effective for the Eagles that Hurts finished tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns (14) in 2024, and he's halfway to 100 (55 rushing scores) after just four years as a starter.

Now, after a season in which they struggled to find success on the field, all is quiet around the league.
Nick Sirianni on Christian Parker
Parker departs Philadelphia to become the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator, leaving a huge void in the Eagles secondary. Sirianni praised Parker on Tuesday, speaking about what the rising coach brings to the team.
Sirianni on Sean Mannion
A first-year offensive coordinator and play caller, Mannion is a former NFL quarterback and a fast riser in the coaching ranks.
Nick Sirianni on Chris Kuper
The Jeff Stoutland era is over in Philadelphia, as the Eagles have hired Chris Kuper as offensive line coach. The Vikings didn't retain Kuper after four years in the same position. During Kuper's tenure, Minnesota ranked 32nd in pressure rate allowed on the interior in three of the last four seasons, including 2025, which led to his dismissal. In 2025, the Vikings used 25 different offensive line combinations, according to Next Gen Stats. In Philadelphia, Kuper will be tasked with restoring the battered offensive line to its status as the NFL's top unit. Jordan Mailata will return, while Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson will mull retirement. Starting center Cam Jurgens will look to regain his form after battling a back injury and other ailments in 2025.
