Eagles have 13 players make the PFF Top 101 players of 2022

Pro Football Focus released their top 101 players of 2022 and the Philadelphia Eagles had 13 players make the list

The 2023 NFL offseason has begun and as the Eagles and 31 other teams start preparing for the NFL scouting combine, Pro Football Focus released their annual 101 best players from the 2022 season.

Here is the criteria from PFF.

• This list is based solely on play in 2022. Past or future play is not accounted for. This isn’t about class or talent; it’s about performance throughout the 2022 NFL season.

• This list is created with an “all positions are created equal” mantra. So, you won’t see 32 quarterbacks heading the list, even though that is the game’s most valuable position. Instead, we take a look at how guys played relative to what is expected from their position.

• Unlike PFF’s awards, the 101 factors in the postseason, so some players who won PFF awards may find themselves jumped in the 101 by rivals who had a playoff run worthy of a change in ranking.

Looking to avoid any conflict with the NFL Network’s Top 100 players list, Sam Monson of PFF utilized both film and analytical data to rank the 101 best players from the 2022 season and Philadelphia led the charge with 13 players.

The Philadelphia Eagles have wrapped their 2022 season after a 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, which means the focus now shifts to reshaping the roster during a busy NFL offseason.

The salary cap will exceed a record high of $220 million in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $8 million in cap space, via OverTheCap.

Right now, the Eagles have 47 players currently under contract for 2023. Here’s a look at them, ranked by cap hit:

The Eagles are off this week after earning the lone bye in the NFC following their 22-16 win over the Giants in the season finale.

The team didn’t take the entire week off and returned to practice for two sessions on Thursday and Friday.

There are injury concerns to monitor, two assistants are being pursued for potential head coaching jobs, and an offense that needs to regain efficiency in the running game.

With preparation for the divisional round underway, Philadelphia is nearing full strength ahead of the divisional round.

The Philadelphia Eagles are less than eight hours away from returning to the field for a late Sunday afternoon matchup against the Giants.

The Birds are the favorite and will look to move to 14-3 on the season while maintaining their lead in the NFC. 

Jalen Hurts is back after missing two games with a shoulder injury, while Jonathan Gannon’s retooled defense will look to regain its swagger with the return of C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Robert Quinn.

Here’s your updated 53-man roster for Week 18 with Philadelphia making a handful of roster moves on Saturday.

Eagles’ updated 53-man roster for Week 17 matchup vs. Saints

Here’s an updated look at the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster ahead of Sunday’s Week 17 matchup against the New Orleans Saints at Lincoln Financial Field

The Philadelphia Eagles are less than 24 away from returning to the field for an early Sunday afternoon matchup against the Saints.

The Birds are the favorite and will look to move to 14-2 on the season while maintaining their lead in the NFC. 

Jalen Hurts will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury, while Jonathan Gannon’s retooled defense will look to adjust without Avonte Maddox and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

Here’s your updated 53-man roster for Week 17 with Philadelphia choosing to rule right tackle Lane Johnson out until the playoffs.

8 potential replacements for Eagles injured cornerback Avonte Maddox

Here are eight players that Philadelphia could consider as potential replacements for an injured Avonte Maddox in the Eagles’ secondary

The Eagles are hurting on both sides of the ball after losing Lane Johnson to injury, and now slot cornerback Avonte Maddox.

One of the best slot cornerbacks in the NFL, Maddox is the engine that makes Philadelphia’s secondary go, and he’s a major reason why Darius Slay and James Bradberry are one of the most talented outside duos in the NFL.

Maddox exited the 40-34 loss after sacking Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on the first play of the second quarter. Before the slot cornerback could be carted off the field, Dak Prescott was able to connect on a 34-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb after a breakdown in coverage.

Maddox, 26, has played in eight games this season but has missed time with a couple of different injuries.

Here’s a look at the snap count and playing time usage from the Philadelphia Eagles’ 40-34 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday at AT&T Stadium

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”WJfqhjiaHz-2443759-7498″]

Gardner Minshew threw two scoring passes and did his best Jalen Hurts impersonation by running for another touchdown, but it wasn’t enough on the road in Dallas.

Dak Prescott finished with 347 yards passing and three touchdowns after his interception was returned for a touchdown by Josh Sweat, and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 40-34 on Saturday to stay within striking distance in the NFC.

The top team in the NFL, Philadelphia (13-2) committed two of their four turnovers in the final five minutes and missed a chance to clinch the NFC’s top seed with a win over a division rival.

The Eagles now need a win or loss by Dallas (11-4) in the final two games in order to wrap up home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Here’s the snap count and usage rate for Philadelphia after their five-game win streak was snapped.
