Fletcher Cox, defensive tackle, and Brandon Graham, defensive end were both part of the Eagles winning Super Bowl LII. They are back in Arizona to try and win a second ring. The Eagles signed Haason Reddick, an edge rusher, as a free agent and traded wide receiver A. J. Brown and safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson in the offseason. Graham spoke of his confidence in signing Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Subh as defensive tackles. They also traded for Robert Quinn, an edge rusher, before the deadline. They started to see some things in training camp that they were happy about. They knew they were not far away so they went out to get Linval and Suh to fill in the middle. We were weak in that area due to being hurt in that region. They were perfect. They arrived at the perfect time." Cox was released last offseason when the Eagles attempted to avoid paying $18 million in salary guarantees. He was then signed on a $14 million contract for one year. The savings allowed General Manager Howie Rosenman to spend money elsewhere. Cox sounds a lot like Graham when he spoke about his reaction to the moves." Howie did an amazing job of connecting us and making sure we are competitive, no matter what we do. It's very special to have these guys on the team, especially at this time of year. If lightning strikes again, the Eagles will be happy.

Many other names on the roster have changed from that night in Minneapolis, including many big-name additions this season. The Eagles signed Haason Reddick, an edge rusher, as a free agent and traded wide receiver A. J. Brown and safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson in the offseason. They signed Linval Joseph and Linguong Suh defensive tackles during the season. They also traded for Robert Quinn, an edge rusher, before the deadline.

Graham stated, "It gave my confidence a lot because you could see that they were all in on this year. They began to see some things in training camp that they were happy about. They knew they were not far away so they went out to get Linval and Suh to fill in the middle. We were weak in that area due to being hurt in that region. They were perfect. They arrived at the perfect time." Cox was let go last offseason when the Eagles decided to not guarantee $18 million in salary. The contract was then renewed for a one-year, $14million contract. The savings allowed General Manager Howie Rosenman to spend money elsewhere, and Cox seemed a lot like Graham when he spoke out about his reaction to the moves.

Cox stated, "It feels great to know and trust these guys upstairs. Howie did an excellent job of connecting us, so we can be competitive regardless of what we do. It's very special to have these guys on the team, especially at this time of year.
