List of Philadelphia Eagles free agents who remain unsigned
The Eagles entered the 2022 NFL free agency period with 14 players who were available to sign elsewhere, and that didn’t include a decision from Jason Kelce on his future.
Philadelphia made one splash move by signing Haason Reddick and then made a solid value signing by adding Kyzir White.
With the draft and offseason workout just weeks away, here are the Eagles’ remaining free agents.

The Eagles will face a familiar face during the 2022 NFL season when they travel to Arizona to face the NFC West, Cardinals.
Kyler Murray and company will be locked and loaded at tight end after re-signing Zach Ertz to a 3-year, $31.65 million deal to remain in Arizona. Philadelphia traded Ertz to Arizona in October for CB Tay Gowan and a late-round pick.
The $10M per year average puts Ertz behind Dallas Goedert, who’ll earn over $14M per year on his new deal with the Eagles.
Ertz had 56 receptions for 574 yards and three touchdowns after he was traded to Arizona, becoming the first Cardinals tight end with 500-plus receiving yards since 2003 and his 56 catches tied a franchise TE record.

The NFL offseason has officially started and as the new league year quickly approaches, all 32 teams will start the process of building for 2022.
Philadelphia has three first-round picks in April’s draft, but the first order of business will center around NFL free agency and adding a few veteran pieces to the lineup.
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently took a look at pertinent offseason needs for all 32 NFL teams, and the Eagles’ biggest needs are located in the backend of the defense.
Philadelphia Eagles
Find a long-term replacement at safety.Sounds familiar, right? Well, just like their division rivals in Dallas, the Eagles are going to be in the market for safety help this offseason. Anthony Harris and Rodney McLeod are both free agents, and while the Eagles could turn to Marcus Epps or 2020 fourth-rounder K’Von Wallace for more snaps in 2022, this is a position in which defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon will probably want two new starters.
Veteran names like Tyrann Mathieu, Terrell Edmunds, Marcus Maye, and Marcus Williams will likely be immediate free agent targets, while Philadelphia also has the draft capital to address the position via the NFL draft as well.
