We’re looking at the status of every Philadelphia Eagles free agent after the first wave of NFL free agency signings

The offseason is in full swing, particularly for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have already made several roster and coaching moves this spring. Eagles GM Howie Roseman started free agency with a bang, agreeing to deals with Saquon Barkley (RB) and Bryce Huff (DE) while retaining Josh Sweat and punter Braden Mann. Philadelphia then signed Landon Dickerson to a monster contract extension and C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a three-year deal. The Eagles have been in nonstop action so far, and we’re taking an updated look at the current status of Philadelphia’s initial group of free agents.

2024 NFL offseason: Details on key dates and Eagles contract options paid out

We’re looking at key dates and contract options that could free up millions in cap space for the Philadelphia Eagles after the first wave of 2024 NFL free agency

With the free agency off to a roaring start, the Eagles and 31 other NFL teams have started financially retooling to advance to the postseason.

Before free agency, we looked at key offseason dates starting with the first week of the 2024 league year, which began March 13.

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.

A look back at Eagles 2023 NFL free agent class

With 2024 NFL free agency set to begin in less than two weeks, we’re looking back at the Philadelphia Eagles 2023 free agent class

Coming off of their Super Bowl LVII loss to the Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles lost several starting players to free agency — C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Marcus Epps, T.J. Edwards, and Kyzir White.

Howie Roseman helped alleviate some of that loss by adding six veterans on one-year deals to help the Eagles return to the postseason in 2023.

Philadelphia started 10-1, before losing six of their final seven games including a wild card loss to the Buccaneers.

One big reason for the collapse was the lack of production from each of those veteran additions.

Kansas City repeated as Super Bowl champions, and with all the attention now focused on 2024 NFL free agency, we’re looking back at the 2023 class.

The Eagles are set for wholesale changes.

GM Howie Roseman retools the roster following Philadelphia’s historic collapse, finishing the season 1-6 after a 10-1 start.

The first domino to fall is All-Pro center Jason Kelce’s decision on his future, 36, who reportedly told his teammates he is retiring after 13 seasons with the Eagles but may now be having a change of heart.

Brandon Graham, who turns 36 in April, says he wants to return to the Eagles for one more final season, his 15th, and he’s one of the few guys on the roster deserving of writing his final script.

We’re looking at Philadelphia’s most significant needs with the scouting combine off and running.

Best photos of Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, CeeDee Lamb in the NFL Pro Bowl

A look at some of the best photos of Sooners at the NFL Pro Bowl, including game MVP Baker Mayfield.

It was an eventful week in Orlando as the NFL hosted its annual All-Star week during the Pro Bowl. Over the years, the event has evolved from a full-fledged game to its modern iteration, featuring a series of skills competitions that culminated in a flag football game.

The Oklahoma Sooners were well-represented even though Creed Humphrey and Trent Williams didn’t make the trip as they prepare for Super Bowl LVIII. Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, CeeDee Lamb, and Marvin Mims were participants this week, and Mayfield made the most of it.

Mayfield, who had a resurgent season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, won the accuracy competition and was named the game’s MVP after leading Eli Manning’s NFC squad to a comeback win over Peyton Manning’s AFC.

Along the way, Mayfield through a touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb and the two nearly connected for another highlight-worthy play late in the game, but Lamb was unable to get both feet down in bounds.

It was a memorable week for the Sooners that serves as a precursor to Sunday’s Super Bowl, which features six Oklahoma Sooners, the most of any college football program in the country.
