The Eagles have simply over $18 million in cap area heading into free company, however that doesn’t actually imply an entire lot if you’ve acquired a magician GM who is aware of find out how to re-work present contracts, and an proprietor who isn’t afraid to place his cash on the road for the betterment of the staff.
Offense
The Eagles can be fairly constant on offense, returning nearly each single starter for a number of extra years. The one starter not locked in for 2025 is Mekhi Becton, who will probably be a precedence for Roseman to signal this offseason. The success Becton had transferring from deal with to protect was a masterclass by Jeff Stoutland — who credited Nick Sirianni with suggesting the transfer — however will solidify that entrance line transferring ahead.
It wouldn’t be shocking for the Eagles to carry again Jack Driscoll and Fred Johnson, at the least for OTAs and coaching camp, and Britain Covey is somebody that Sirianni and the locker room actually admire. As nice as Kenny Gainwell has been, they’ve Will Shipley returning for his second season, and it is a actually deep draft class on the place, so the Eagles may get somebody competent on a rookie deal within the later rounds.

Protection
The protection is the place, sadly, the Eagles will in all probability lose a few key gamers. Roseman will completely work to carry All-Professional Zack Baun again, and the linebacker has expressed his want to remain in Philly. It additionally wouldn’t be shocking to see Milton Williams return to Philly, particularly with Vic Fangio being so complimentary of the lineman all through the season.
Roseman took a danger when he signed Isaiah Rodgers whereas the CB was nonetheless serving his NFL suspension, however that sort transfer can create some loyalty between the pair.
