=== Jeffrey Lurie era (1994–present) ===

By 1994, team owner [[Norman Braman]] had become largely unpopular among local fans and a polarizing presence in the front office. [[Jeffrey Lurie]] bought the Eagles on May 6, 1994, for an estimated $185&nbsp;million.<ref name="k574">{{cite web| title=Lurie Buys Eagles for a Reported $185 Million | website=Los Angeles Times | date=April 7, 1994 | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-04-07-sp-43024-story.html | access-date=August 21, 2024}}</ref>

In [[1995 Philadelphia Eagles season|1995]], Rhodes's first season, the Eagles got off to a slow start by losing three of their first four games but subsequently rebounded to finish with a 10–6 record and a playoff spot.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1995 Philadelphia Eagles Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/phi/1995.htm |access-date=August 21, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> In the Wild Card Round, the Eagles, playing at home, overwhelmed the [[Detroit Lions]] 58–37, with 31 of Philadelphia's points coming in the second quarter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wild Card - Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles - December 30th, 1995 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199512300phi.htm |access-date=August 21, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> However, the Eagles were again eliminated in the next round by the Cowboys by a score of 30–11.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Divisional Round - Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys - January 7th, 1996 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199601070dal.htm |access-date=August 21, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> This would be [[Randall Cunningham]]'s last game as an Eagle. Cunningham scored the only touchdown of the game and the last Eagles postseason touchdown for six years.

1995 marked the end of Cunningham's tenure as starting quarterback. Rhodes benched Cunningham in favor of [[Rodney Peete]], leading to friction between the two. Earlier, rumors had circulated that Lurie and Rhodes had tried to trade Cunningham to the [[Arizona Cardinals]]. However, no such trade materialized and Cunningham retired shortly after the season.

In [[1996 Philadelphia Eagles season|1996]], the Eagles' uniform colors were changed from the classic [[kelly green]] to a darker [[midnight green]].<ref name="p747">{{cite web | last=Greger | first=Mike | title=Eagles kelly green uniforms: A brief history | website=Billy Penn at WHYY | date=April 1, 2023 | url=https://billypenn.com/2023/04/01/eagles-kelly-green-uniforms-history-philadelphia-football/ | access-date=August 21, 2024}}</ref> The team got off to a good start, winning three of their first four games. However, a week 5 Monday night game at [[Veterans Stadium]] against the rival Cowboys witnessed a season-ending knee injury to Peete, loss of the team's momentum, and the transition to an offense led by [[Ty Detmer]] and Watters. While Detmer played well and Watters rushed for 1,411 yards, the season conformed to what had become a familiar pattern: 10–6 record and early elimination (a 14–0 shutout by the [[1996 San Francisco 49ers season|49ers]]) in the [[1996–97 NFL playoffs|playoffs]]. In the [[1996 NFL draft]], future fan-favorite and hall-of-famer [[Brian Dawkins]] was chosen in the second round. The continued early playoff exits led fans and local media to cast blame on high-priced free agents ([[Irving Fryar]], Watters, [[Troy Vincent]], and [[Guy McIntyre]]) for not stepping up in big games, especially in the postseason. Rhodes gradually deteriorated under the stress of the job, and players were beginning to grow tired of his brash demeanor and often autocratic coaching style.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/04/sports/pro-football-when-willpower-isn-t-enough-decline-of-ray-rhodes-s-eagles.html|title=PRO FOOTBALL; When Willpower Isn't Enough: Decline of Ray Rhodes's Eagles|first=Mike|last=Freeman|newspaper=The New York Times |date=November 4, 1998|access-date=April 15, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180215024205/http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/04/sports/pro-football-when-willpower-isn-t-enough-decline-of-ray-rhodes-s-eagles.html|archive-date=February 15, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Eagles reemerged as a predominant NFL team under the leadership of new head coach [[Andy Reid]], who was hired away from the [[Green Bay Packers]], where he was the Packers' quarterback coach. Reid's first notable step was drafting [[Syracuse University|Syracuse]] quarterback [[Donovan McNabb]] with the second overall pick in the [[1999 NFL draft]].<ref name="r345">{{cite news | last=Bonesteel | first=Matt | title=McNabb Holds His Own in First Start | newspaper=Washington Post | date=November 15, 1999 | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/longterm/1999/gamerep/week10/eagles15.htm | access-date=August 21, 2024}}</ref> The Eagles' awful [[1998 Philadelphia Eagles season|1998 season]] would have entitled the Eagles to first pick but it was awarded to the rebooted [[Cleveland Browns]]. Despite clearing the roster for new talent by releasing unpopular and aging veterans such as [[Ricky Watters]] and [[Irving Fryar]], Reid was still a virtual unknown before his arrival as head coach, and his appointment was met initially with skepticism among Philadelphia fans. The drafting of McNabb was unpopular with many Eagles fans, many of whom traveled to [[Madison Square Garden]] for the 1999 Draft and booed the selection, believing the Eagles instead should have selected [[Ricky Williams]], a [[Texas Longhorns football|University of Texas]] [[running back]] who had been named the 1998 [[Associated Press College Football Player of the Year|AP College Player of the Year]].

The [[1999 Philadelphia Eagles season|1999 season]] was largely a rebuilding year for the Eagles. The team, which routinely sells out its home games in Philadelphia, had two 1999 home games that failed to sell out, resulting in local [[Blackout (broadcasting)|TV blackouts]]. Another six home games in the 1999 season sold out only because several local small business owners bought the remaining unsold tickets to spare Philadelphia-area viewers a television blackout of the game.

The Week 5 home game at Veterans Stadium on October 10, 1999, against the [[Dallas Cowboys]] represented the last play of Cowboys wide receiver [[Michael Irvin]]'s career. In the game, Irvin was driven into the turf by Eagles safety [[Tim Hauck]], which left Irvin lying motionless. Some Eagles fans responded with applause, giving further rise to Philadelphia's reputation as unduly aggressive and hostile fans. Irvin was transported from the field by stretcher and then by ambulance to [[Thomas Jefferson University Hospital]]. Irvin, who was diagnosed with a potentially threatening [[Cervical vertebrae|cervical spine]] injury and forced to announce his NFL retirement after the injury, later said the Philadelphia fans were applauding his departure rather than his serious injury.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Moore |first1=David |title=Why Hall of Fame WR Michael Irvin has never criticized Philly fans for cheering career-ending injury |url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2013/10/19/why-hall-of-fame-wr-michael-irvin-has-never-criticized-philly-fans-for-cheering-career-ending-injury/ |access-date=October 15, 2021 |work=[[The Dallas Morning News]] |date=October 19, 2013}}</ref> The team finished the season with a record of 5–11.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1999 Philadelphia Eagles Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/phi/1999.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>

The [[2000 Philadelphia Eagles season|2000]] regular-season opener in [[Dallas]] on September 3 became known in NFL lore as the "[[Pickle Juice Game]]". Kickoff temperature in [[Texas Stadium]] was 109 degrees Fahrenheit and soared to nearly 120, making it the hottest game in league history, beating a previous record set in a 1997 Cowboys–Cardinals match in Arizona. The nickname came about because an Eagles trainer had prepared for the predicted heat by having the players drink the juice from jars of dill pickles in order to retain body moisture and stave off cramps and heat exhaustion. The experiment proved successful as the Eagles won 41–14 while multiple Cowboys players had been consigned to the bench, unable to handle the torrid climate while the Eagles had no players benched. The game was also significant as marking the beginning of Philadelphia's domination of the NFC East. The team finished the season at 11–5, reaching the [[2000–01 NFL playoffs|playoffs]] as a wild card, which restored fan optimism. After brushing aside the [[2000 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] 21–3, the [[2000 Philadelphia Eagles season|Eagles]] moved to the second round of the playoffs, only to lose 20–10 to the [[2000 New York Giants season|New York Giants]]. After compiling an 11–5 record in [[2001 Philadelphia Eagles season|2001]], the Eagles reached the [[2001–02 NFL playoffs|playoffs]] again, this time at the top of their division. In a near rerun of the previous year, they disposed of the [[2001 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Buccaneers]] in a 31–9 game. In the second round, the Eagles defeated the [[2001 Chicago Bears season|Bears]] 33–19 at [[Soldier Field]]. In the [[2001–02 NFL playoffs#NFC: St. Louis Rams 29, Philadelphia Eagles 24|NFC Championship game]], they were unable to stop the [[2001 St. Louis Rams season|St. Louis Rams]], who defeated them 29–24.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NFC Championship - Philadelphia Eagles at St. Louis Rams - January 27th, 2002 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200201270ram.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>

Despite injuries, McNabb led the Eagles to a 12–4 season in [[2002 Philadelphia Eagles season|2002]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2002 Philadelphia Eagles Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/phi/2002.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> Once again, they reached the [[2002–03 NFL playoffs#NFC: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27, Philadelphia Eagles 10|NFC Championship game]], but lost at home 27–10 to the eventual Super Bowl champion [[2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] in the last game at [[Veterans Stadium]].<ref name="i123">{{cite web | last=Sheridan | first=Phil | title=Loss to Bucs was Eagles' darkest day | website=ESPN.com | date=January 14, 2015 | url=https://www.espn.com/blog/philadelphia-eagles/post/_/id/10055/loss-to-bucs-was-eagles-darkest-day | access-date=August 21, 2024}}</ref>

In the opening game of the [[2003 Philadelphia Eagles season|2003 season]], the Eagles were shut out 17–0 by the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] in the first regular-season game ever played at their new home, [[Lincoln Financial Field]]. Once again, the team went 12–4 for the season and then reached the conference championship game. In doing so, the Eagles became the first team in modern history to get that far in the postseason after having been shut out at home in its first game. They achieved that distinction despite getting only five touchdown receptions all year by their wide receivers, which tied the league-low since the regular-season schedule was lengthened to its present 16 games in 1978 (this record would be broken in 2004 when the [[2004 New York Giants season|New York Giants]]' wide receivers caught only two touchdown passes). The Eagle receivers went through both September and October without a TD catch; the last time an NFL team had done that was in 1945. In the Divisional Round of the playoffs, the Eagles beat the [[2003 Green Bay Packers season|Green Bay Packers]] 20–17 in overtime thanks in part to a late-game completion from McNabb to [[Freddie Mitchell]] on an iconic play that has come to be known as [[4th and 26]]. They lost the [[2003–04 NFL playoffs#NFC: Carolina Panthers 14, Philadelphia Eagles 3|NFC Championship game]] to the [[2003 Carolina Panthers season|Carolina Panthers]] 14–3. Panthers cornerback [[Ricky Manning|Ricky Manning Jr.]] had three interceptions in the game.<ref>{{cite web|title=Panthers vs. Eagles – Game Recap – January 18, 2004 – ESPN|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=240118021|access-date=December 8, 2020|website=ESPN.com|archive-date=January 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116151312/https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=240118021}}</ref>

The Eagles actively pursued premier wide receiver [[Terrell Owens]], and acquired him in a controversial three-way deal with the [[Baltimore Ravens]] and the [[San Francisco 49ers]], on March 16, 2004.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 17, 2004 |title=Philly freedom: Owens will play for Eagles |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=1760284 |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=ESPN.com|agency=Associated Press }}</ref> The [[2004 Philadelphia Eagles season|2004 season]] began with a bang as Owens caught three touchdown passes from McNabb in their season opener against the [[New York Giants]]. Owens ended up with exactly 1,200 receiving yards and 14 touchdown receptions, although his season ended prematurely with an ankle injury in a December 19 game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles' 12–7 victory in this game gave them home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs for the third year in a row. The Eagles tied a record by clinching the NFC East division crown (their fourth straight) after only their eleventh game of the season, matching the mark set by the [[1985 Chicago Bears season|1985 Chicago Bears]] and the [[1997 San Francisco 49ers season|1997 San Francisco 49ers]]. Their final two regular-season games thus rendered meaningless, the Eagles sat out most of their first-string players in these games and lost both, yet still finished the season with a 13–3 record. McNabb had his best season to date, passing for 3,875 yards and 31 touchdowns, with only eight interceptions. This made him the first quarterback in NFL history to throw 30 or more TD passes and fewer than 10 interceptions in a single regular season. They then began their playoff run with the Divisional round at home against the sixth-seeded [[Minnesota Vikings]]. The Eagles led from the start and never looked back, as McNabb led a very efficient passing attack (21 of 33 for 286 yards and 2 TDs), [[Brian Westbrook]] dominated on the ground with 70 rushing yards, and Freddie Mitchell performed very well on the receiving corps (5 receptions for 65 yards and a TD), as Philadelphia won 27–14, setting up their fourth-straight NFC Championship appearance. Facing the [[Atlanta Falcons]], McNabb threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 32 yards. Westbrook rushed for 96 yards and caught five passes for 39. Winning the game 27–10, the Eagles advanced to [[Super Bowl XXXIX]], where they faced the [[2004 New England Patriots season|New England Patriots]]. Although McNabb threw 3 touchdown passes and 357 yards in the game, and the score was tied 14–14 going into the fourth quarter, the Patriots outscored the Eagles with ten straight points. McNabb completed a 30-yard touchdown pass, and the Eagles defense held the Patriots to a 3 and out, but a crucial interception with 46 seconds left sealed their fate, as the Patriots won 24–21.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Super Bowl XXXIX - New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles - February 6th, 2005 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200502060nwe.htm |access-date=August 21, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>

In [[2006 Philadelphia Eagles season|2006]], the team lost McNabb 10 games in and went into turmoil. However, Westbrook stepped up, and the Eagles earned their fifth NFC East title under coach Reid, with a 10–6 record. They won the Wild Card game against the New York Giants, but lost in the Divisional Round to the [[New Orleans Saints]]. The [[2007 Philadelphia Eagles season|2007 season]] would end with the Eagles finishing 8–8 and failing to make the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. However, in [[2008 Philadelphia Eagles season|2008]], the team finished the season with a 9–6–1 record, making the playoffs with a wild card berth, The team upset the Minnesota Vikings in the first round, winning the game 26–14. The team then went on to defeat the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants 23–11 en route to their sixth [[NFC Championship Game]]. In the [[2008–09 NFL playoffs#NFC: Arizona Cardinals 32, Philadelphia Eagles 25|NFC Championship game]], the Eagles rallied from down 24–6 at halftime to up 25–24 in the fourth quarter, but they lost to the [[2008 Arizona Cardinals season|Arizona Cardinals]] by a score of 32–25 after quarterback [[Kurt Warner]] scored a touchdown with just under three minutes remaining in regulation.<ref name="x410">{{cite web | title=Cardinals edge Eagles 32-25 for NFC title | website=Florida Times-Union | date=January 19, 2009 | url=https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/nfl/2009/01/19/cardinals-edge-eagles-32-25-for-nfc-title/15998379007/ | access-date=August 19, 2024}}</ref>

Without Brian Dawkins, defensive end [[Trent Cole]] stepped up and became the dominant force on defense with 12 sacks, earning him his second trip to the Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. In 2009, the Eagles started 5–4, then won six straight. After a shutout by the Dallas Cowboys in week 17, the Eagles failed to secure a first-round bye, and with a record of 11–5, they were the NFC's sixth seed. In their [[2009–10 NFL playoffs#NFC: Dallas Cowboys 34, Philadelphia Eagles 14|January 2010 wild card game]], the Eagles played against their divisional foes for the second consecutive week, losing 34–14 to hand Dallas their first playoff win since [[1996–97 NFL playoffs#NFC: Dallas Cowboys 40, Minnesota Vikings 15|December 1996]].

On January 11, 2010, General Manager [[Tom Heckert, Jr.]] was hired away by the Cleveland Browns; he was replaced by [[Howie Roseman]], who was promoted from Vice President of Player Personnel.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 29, 2010 |title=Eagles promote Roseman to general manager |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=4869091 |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=ESPN.com|agency=Associated Press }}</ref> On March 5, 2010, Brian Westbrook was cut from the Eagles after eight seasons with the team.

But things rapidly fell apart when Vick injured his ribs and chest late in the first quarter when two Redskins defensive backs crushed him from both sides while running near the end zone. Kolb was once again brought out to play but delivered an uninspiring performance. He managed a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough. A two-point conversion attempt after the touchdown failed, and Washington won 16–12.

The [[2011 Philadelphia Eagles season|2011 season]] for the Eagles was a major disappointment. The off-season was marred by a lockout that began in March after the NFL's collective bargaining agreement expired, making practices, trades, and free agency impossible. During the draft, the Eagles did comparatively little. After the lockout ended in July, the team embarked on a rash of high-profile FA signings, including Raiders CB [[Nnamdi Asomugha]], Dolphins RB [[Ronnie Brown]], Giants WR [[Steve Smith (wide receiver, born 1985)|Steve Smith]], Packers TE [[Donald Lee (American football)|Donald Lee]], Titans DE [[Jason Babin]], and Packers DT [[Cullen Jenkins]]. Meanwhile, Kevin Kolb, displeased at losing the starting quarterback job to Michael Vick in 2010, was traded to Arizona for [[Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie]]. Replacing him as 2nd-stringer was ex-Titans quarterback [[Vince Young]]. Young created a lot of hype by calling Philadelphia the "Dream Team".<ref name="x988">{{cite web | title=Vince Young declares the Eagles to be a "Dream Team" | website=NBC Sports | date=July 30, 2011 | url=https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/vince-young-declares-the-eagles-to-be-a-dream-team | access-date=August 19, 2024}}</ref> The team managed to finish only 8–8 and missed the playoffs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2011 Philadelphia Eagles Rosters, Stats, Schedule, Team Draftees, Injury Reports |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/phi/2011.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>

While a hamstring injury took [[Michael Vick]] out after a 1–3 start, his backup [[Nick Foles]] led the team to a 10–6 regular-season record and its seventh NFC East title in 13 seasons, but the Eagles lost to the [[2013 New Orleans Saints season|New Orleans Saints]] in the wild card round. Before throwing his first interception in Week 14, Foles had thrown 19 touchdowns, just one shy of the all-time NFL record of consecutive touchdowns without an interception to start a season, set earlier in the season by [[Peyton Manning]]. Foles also tied Manning for most touchdown passes in a single game, with seven, against the [[2013 Oakland Raiders season|Oakland Raiders]], which also made him the youngest player in NFL history to throw for that many touchdowns in a game. Foles finished the regular season with 27 touchdown passes and only 2 interceptions, giving him the then-best TD-INT ratio in NFL history. (That record was later broken by [[Tom Brady]], in the 2016 season.) He also finished with a 119.0 [[passer rating]], third-highest in league history behind only [[Aaron Rodgers]] in 2011 and Peyton Manning in 2004. He was also only the second quarterback in NFL history to have a game in which he topped 400 passing yards and a perfect passer rating. [[LeSean McCoy]] finished his Pro Bowl season as the league's top rusher with 1,607 rushing yards (also a franchise record) and 2,146 total yards from scrimmage, also best in the NFL. As a whole, the Eagles offense scored 51 touchdowns, most in franchise history, passing the previous season-high set back in 1948. Following the 2013 season, the Eagles released Pro-Bowl wide receiver [[DeSean Jackson]] due to his poor "work ethic and attitude", as well as speculation of his involvement in gang-related activities.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/10688873|title=Pro Bowl receiver Jackson released by Eagles|date=March 28, 2014|website=ESPN.com|access-date=March 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401134732/http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/10688873|archive-date=April 1, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The team signed All Pro safety [[Malcolm Jenkins]] to a three-year contract, worth $16.25&nbsp;million.<ref name="j800">{{cite web | last=Gowton | first=Brandon Lee | title=Eagles Sign Safety Malcolm Jenkins | website=Bleeding Green Nation | date=March 11, 2014 | url=https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2014/3/11/5485550/philadelphia-eagles-sign-malcolm-jenkins | access-date=August 19, 2024}}</ref>
