Former Eagles All-Pro Suspended 6 Games for PED Violation — Painful Loss Proves GM Howie Roseman Right All Along

The Philadelphia Eagles’ offseason always sparks debate, but one move in particular ignited fierce arguments across the fan base. A defensive cornerstone, fresh off the best season of his career, was allowed to walk. Many questioned whether general manager Howie Roseman had finally miscalculated.

In 2024, the Eagles built the NFL’s top-ranked defense on the strength of their trenches. Their relentless rotation of interior linemen controlled the line of scrimmage, suffocating opponents and making life easy for the scheme.

Among those standouts was Milton Williams, who transformed from role player to national name. He was disruptive against the run, dangerous as a pass rusher, and rewarded with second-team All-Pro honors. In 17 games (16 starts), he posted five sacks and earned a sterling PFF grade north of 85, validating his breakout.

When Williams left for New England on a four-year, $104 million contract, many in Philadelphia felt betrayed by the front office’s restraint. “Milton was our run-stuffer, defense weaker now,” one fan wrote online, echoing frustration seen across Philly sports radio and comment boards.

Instead of paying top dollar, Roseman doubled down on his philosophy: spreading resources, not overcommitting. He extended linebacker Zack Baun, put trust in rookie Ty Robinson, and bet on the depth and culture that has sustained Philadelphia’s defense for years.

Now, that gamble looks vindicated. News broke that Williams has been suspended six games for violating the league’s PED policy. What once seemed like a painful goodbye has shifted into validation. The Patriots are left scrambling, while Philadelphia moves forward with its core intact.

For Roseman, this is another reminder that tough decisions aren’t just about talent — they’re about discipline, sustainability, and the long game.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
