Eagles See Vic Fangio Trending Toward 2026 Return After Retirement Scare

Team officials have not issued confirmation, leaving a thin market of replacements in play.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Vic Fangio told the Eagles he would retire before team leadership persuaded him to stay for 2026.
  • The club has declined to verify his status for next season, and league insiders describe the situation as fluid.
  • During the uncertainty, Philadelphia contacted former DC Jonathan Gannon and prepared to inquire about Jim Schwartz, who remains under contract with the Browns.
