A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS
_rfiq=clo=qeb=ilkd=e^ri
One of the league’s most successful teams of the past decade with 103 regular season wins (3rd most in the NFL) since 2000, the Eagles
current roster is loaded with a nest of young talent as they prepare to enter the next decade.
The average age of their current roster (60 players, including those on the Injured Reserve list) is 26.7 years old, while 76% of that ros-
ter is signed through 2010 and beyond, including 22 players who are signed through 2012 and beyond. In addition, 36 Eagles are home
grown (acquired via the draft or as a rookie free agent), including 16 of the 22 projected starters (bolded in the list below).
In 2009, the Eagles inked a pair of starters to long-term contract extensions: TE Brent Celek through 2016 and RT Winston Justice through
2013. The 24-year-old Celek is among a core group of budding stars currently manning the skill positions on offense, joining 23-year-old
WR DeSean Jackson and a pair of 21-year-old rookies in WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.
