PHILADELPHIA —September 17 , 2025
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, long celebrated as one of the NFL’s sharpest roster architects, is now facing a rare blemish on his record: the ill-fated signing of pass rusher Azeez Ojulari. What was once seen as a savvy offseason pickup has quickly turned into a regrettable misstep for the franchise.
When the Eagles brought in Ojulari from the New York Giants, excitement was high. A former second-round pick with 22 career sacks — including 6.0 just last season — he was projected to be the perfect rotational addition to an already loaded defensive front. Philadelphia secured him with a $4 million deal, expecting him to thrive alongside their stars.
Instead, Ojulari struggled to earn meaningful snaps. Through the first two weeks of the season, his impact was minimal, overshadowed by Josh Uche, who seized the role and quickly became the better fit.
The contrast became undeniable during Philadelphia’s dominant defensive showing at Arrowhead, where the Eagles smothered Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense without needing Ojulari’s contribution. With Uche emerging as a breakout force, Ojulari’s presence — and his $4 million contract — suddenly looked like dead weight.
According to team insiders, the front office is now exploring options to move on, whether through a conditional Day 3 draft pick trade or a straightforward release. “This is a rare mistake, but it shows we still have room to improve,” one Eagles official admitted.
Roseman’s reputation has been built on bold, often brilliant decisions: guiding the team through the retirements of Jason Kelce and Brandon Graham’s injuries, and engineering the roster that reached the Super Bowl last February. But the Ojulari experiment now stands out as a rare swing-and-miss.
With the season still young, the Eagles remain firmly in the championship conversation. Still, moving on from Ojulari may be necessary to keep their defensive machine sharp. For Roseman, correcting this mistake swiftly could be the key to ensuring that one miscalculation doesn’t overshadow an otherwise masterful run as Philadelphia’s GM.
