With the combine starting this week the Eagles will be getting another look at future prospects and players ahead of the 2026 NFL draft.
And while the draft doesn’t begin until April 23rd. The Eagles still have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks with over 20 free agents set to hit the market with less than two weeks until the legal tampering period(march 9th) and free agency(march 11th) open
2026 Free Agents
Below is a list of the 20 players the Eagles will need to make a decision on in the coming weeks:
- TE Dallas Goedert
- S Reed Blankenship
- ED Jaelan Phillips
- ED Azeez Ojulari
- WR Jahan Dotson
- DL Brandon Graham
- P Braden Mann
- ED Joshua Uche
- CB Adoree Jackson
- TE Kylen Granson
- G Matt Pryor
- RB A.J. Dillon
- OT Fred Johnson
- LB Nakobe Dean
- ED Ogbonnia Okronkwo
- G Brett Toth
- S Marcus Epps
- QB Sam Howell
- TE Grant Calcaterra
- FB Ben VanSumeren
There’s a few positions that stand out the most. Including the Tight End room with 3 of the main rostered tight ends set to hit the open market. leaving E.J. Jenkins, Cameron Latu and Jaheim Bell as the only TE signed through the 2026 season.
The other major position of concern is Safety. Losing a defensive captain in Blankenship could be a heavy blow to the Eagles strong defensive unit. With Mukuba returning from a fractured ankle, and Sydney Brown having not taking a leap when given playing opportunity leaves the Eagles secondary thinner than it was last season.
There might be a handful of moves to come during the offseason, to nobodies surprise.
Approaching The Draft
The Eagles are always an active team during the offseason. After winning the Super Bowl in 2025, the Eagles made a total of 6 trades before and during the draft. The first 2 being moves that acquired draft capital moving C.J. Gardner-Johnson as well as Kenny Pickett. The next 4 took place during the draft that included moving up to acquire Jihaad Campbell, as well as trading up and back in the draft. Securing players like Ty Robinson and Mac McWilliams.
Similarly, the Eagles made two trades prior to the 2024 NFL draft, acquiring Kenny Pickett and moving on from Haason Reddick. They went on to make an additional EIGHT trades during the draft that helped them acquire players like Cooper DeJean and multiple trade backs that helped re-stock future drafts while acquiring Jalyx Hunt, Will Shipley and more.
With a few weeks to go before players are able to make agreements with other teams. Who do you think the Eagles will re-sign before the legal tampering period begins?
