Eagles’ projected depth chart following the first wave of free agency

We’re looking at the Philadelphia Eagles projected depth chart on offense and defense after the first wave of NFL free agency

The Eagles have undergone significant changes on both sides of the football field, involving player personnel and a retooled coaching staff.

Two pillars of the Philadelphia culture have called it a career, as Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox decided to retire.

The free agent period and NFL draft are Howie Roseman’s seasons, and the Eagles GM got off to a roaring start after inking running back Saquon Barkley to a three-year deal, signing improving pass rusher Bryce Huff and then bringing versatile defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson back into the fold.

Roseman then added talent to the backup quarterback position, acquiring Kenny Pickett from the Steelers for a 2024 third-round pick and two 2025 seventh-round picks.

With the second wave of free agency set to pick up steam, we’re looking at an early depth chart prediction for Philadelphia.

Picket completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions during his career, giving Philadelphia an experienced backup quarterback.

With the news set to be complete, here are social media reactions.

Eagles-Giants set to reach new heights after Saquon Barkley, Tiki Barber back and forth

The Eagles rivalry with the Giants will reach new heights of hatred after Saquon Barkley’s social media back and forth with Tiki Barber

Saquon Barkley is officially an Eagle in the minds of fans and media after his Monday afternoon exchange with Giants legend Tiki Barber.

Barkley was celebrating a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles when Barber fired this shot at the former Giants superstar.

“He’s dead to us now. You’re dead to us, Saquon,” Barber said Monday. “Good luck, you’re dead to me.”

Barkley responded as only an Eagle could, calling the former Giants running back a “hater.”

The Eagles and Giants are already must-see TV every season, but the two games this year will certainly be prime-time affairs, especially after New York acquired Brian Burns via trade.

Here’s social media reaction to the back and forth.

Eagles players and NFC East rivals react to Saquon Barkley’s 3-year, $37M Deal

We’re looking at the reactions from Micah Parsons, Kayvon Thibodeaux and others after Saquon Barkley agreed to a 3-year, $37.75 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley is staying in the NFC East and a short drive up the New Jersey Turnpike from New York after agreeing to a 3-year, $37.5 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the contract could be worth up to $46.75 million and includes $26 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Barkley now beats his franchise tag number and has a maximum average-per-year salary of $15.833 million, which would be the second-highest for a running back in NFL history.

In 14 games last season, Barkley logged 962 yards and six rushing touchdowns, 41 receptions for 280 yards, and four touchdowns for the 6-11 Giants.

The Eagles were already stout offensively, and the NFL world reacted to the Barkley news.

Eagles agree to 3-year, $37.5 Million deal with former Giants star RB Saquon Barkley

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing Saquon Barkley to a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing.

The Saquon Barkley era is underway in Philadelphia, as the former Penn State star and New York Giants running back is signing a three-year, $37 million deal with the Eagles.

The $26 million fully guaranteed puts Barkley above the $12 million per season he would have made with consecutive franchise tags under the New York Giants.

In 14 games last season, Barkley logged 962 yards and six rushing touchdowns, 41 receptions for 280 yards, and four touchdowns for the 6-11 Giants.

Barkley would pair well with Kenneth Gainwell while giving Philadelphia an explosive playmaker in Kellen Moore’s offense.
