Assembling a Super Bowl-level team is no easy feat.

Yet it is a feat Howie Roseman accomplished. Now comes the harder task — keeping the team at the same level next season. As the Eagles' general manager faces a series of difficult questions this offseason, he received some words of wisdom from NFL insider Peter King regarding how to keep the team together.

"I think Howie Roseman doesn’t need my help. But I think the Eagles have a quarterback to sign and will have to be judicious, very judicious, with their free-agent cash. I think corner James Bradberry and guard Isaac Seumalo will get big offers elsewhere and should be free to walk. I wouldn’t give Miles Sanders a big offer; backs are easy enough to replace. I wouldn’t get emotional about a great Eagle, Fletcher Cox unless he can return for low money. Roseman knows he won’t be the most popular guy in town, or in the locker room, in the coming weeks. One player he might be able to keep for okay money is defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson."

With Hurts set to sign his extension sooner rather than later, the Eagles will be operating on a budget. Not everyone will be able to return. But depending on how the organization structures Hurts' deal, the Eagles could be consistently good for a really long time.

But we won't know what comes next until Hurts' contract is out of the way. The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported that the Eagles’ MVP candidate could sign on the dotted line before February ends.

It's just a waiting game now.
