The Giants hired a new head coach this offseason.
The Redskins hired a new head coach this offseason.
The Cowboys hired a new head coach this offseason.
Philadelphia still has Doug Pederson.
And with all the craziness the world has seen this offseason, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham thinks going into the season with the same coach will be an advantage.
“I’m all-in,” Graham said. “It’s all about having an advantage and I feel like we’ve got an advantage right now. We’ve got the same coach. All we have to do is make sure that we take this offseason like we’re supposed to.”
Graham enters the 2020 season as the longest-tenured player on the team. He led the Eagles last season with 8.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss, and tied for the team lead with 34 combined QB pressures and hits.
Philadelphia won the division last season after an up and down season. They made some big additions this offseason, adding Darius Slay and Javon Hargrave.
But winning back-to-back division titles in the NFC East is rare.
