Reverts to NFI list
Tue, May 5, 2026, 11:03 PM
Large reverted to Philadelphia's reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Large signed with the team as an undrafted free agent May 1 but ended up spending less than a week on their active roster. He will now miss at least the first four games of the regular season. |

Expensive fifth-year option
Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 5:11 PM
The Eagles picked up Carter's fifth-year option Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The cost to maintain Carter's services through 2027 comes at a hefty $27 million. The defensive tackle earned Pro Bowl honors in both 2024 and 2025, adding value to his fifth-year option. Carter missed multiple games due to various injuries last season, as well as being ejected in Week 1 for an incident involving him spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. When Carter was on the field, he produced 33 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed over 12 regular-season games (really 11 since he was ejected before the first snap of Week 1). |

Fifth-year option excercised
Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 4:56 PM
The Eagles exercised Smith's fifth-year option Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith will earn another $13.7 million, guaranteeing his services to the Eagles through 2027. The linebacker is coming off a slightly disappointing season that was spoiled by a lingering triceps injury he originally suffered during training camp. Despite the issue, Smith still started 12 regular-season games, logging 31 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks. Headed into 2026 healthy, Smith will look to produce a year similar to his 2024 season (42 tackles, including 6.5 sacks), which would help greatly in long-term extension discussions with the organization. |

Picked up by Eagles
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:58 PM
Philadelphia selected James-Newby in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 252nd overall.
Analysis: James-Newby enjoyed a six-year college career that ended with New Mexico in 2025, when he was selected to the All-MWC First-Team after posting 52 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and five pass defenses across 13 games. He's not the most powerful pass-rushing prospect in the draft, but James-Newby beat opposing blockers with his burst off the snap, and he'll need to become a more reliable tackler to see meaningful snaps at the NFL level. He'll compete with the likes of Jalyx Hunt, Jose Ramirez, Arnold Ebiketie and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for rotational snaps at the edge rusher position behind Nolan Smith and the newly acquired Jonathan Greenard (shoulder). |

Drafted by Eagles
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:55 PM
The Eagles selected Bernard in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 251st overall.
Analysis: Bernard (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) put together an impressive workout performance at the International Player Pathway Pro Day, highlighted by a 4.69 40-yard dash and a 39-inch vertical. Though he has not played organized football at the collegiate level, Philadelphia is intrigued enough by the potential of his rare combination of size and athleticism to invest draft capital into Bernard's development. While Bernard looks set to begin his career working at defensive tackle, he could also test his hand at edge rusher or along the O-line. |

The Eagles selected Wisniewski in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 244th overall.
Analysis: Wisniewski probably is not a serious starting safety candidate at the NFL level, but at 6-foot-3, 219 pounds the Texas Tech product has the build to crash hard against the run from the strong safety position. His 2025 season with the Red Raiders was his sixth collegiate season after playing the prior five years at North Dakota State, mostly as a backup. The Eagles will probably be content if Wisniewski can simply play on special teams. |

The Eagles selected Morris in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 207th overall.
Analysis: Morris didn't start in his first three seasons at Georgia but saw some action at right guard in 2024 before starting at left guard in all 14 games in 2025. He provides solid pass protection and is a powerful blocker in the run game, though his success was limited to specific schemes. Morris has a great opportunity to improve his game in Philadelphia, where he'll provide depth at guard behind Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen. |

Punches ticket for Philly
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 2:57 PM
The Eagles selected Payton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 178th overall.
Analysis: Payton finally took over the starting job at North Dakota State in his fifth season and looked excellent, completing 72 percent of passes for 2,719 yards (12.1 YPA), 16 touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing 136 times for 777 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has a strong arm that still needs some tuning with its accuracy, but his legs are phenomenal. Payton had six carries of 30-plus yards in 2025 before running a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds at the NFL Combine. His tools are rare, but his lack of experience is a concern and can easily remind us of former NDSU quarterback Trey Lance. However, Payton is less risky as a fifth-round pick (Lance went third overall), meaning the Eagles can take their time with his development while Jalen Hurts remains the starter. The Eagles also have quarterbacks Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton on the roster, and one of those two will need to get cut for Payton to make the 53-man roster. |

Scooped by Philadelphia

The Eagles selected Bell in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 68th overall.
Analysis: Bell emerged as Miami's starter at left tackle in 2024 and was the full-time starter in 2025, when he was tasked with protecting Carson Beck. Bell was named to the All-ACC Third-Team in his senior year, when he did not allow a sack and logged the fifth-most offensive snaps in the FBS. He has a 6-foot-9, 346-pound frame that makes him a top-heavy blocker, but that towering presence could make it difficult for Bell to keep up with speedy pass rushers. Still, those skills should build with time and reps, and Bell will have the opportunity to learn behind veteran offensive tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson (foot). |

Dealt to Philadelphia
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 7:54 PM
The Eagles have traded a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as well as a 2027 third-round pick to Minnesota in exchange for Greenard (shoulder) and the 244th overall pick of this year's draft, Lindsey Young of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: Greenard also is signing a four-year extension worth up to $100 million with his new team, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. The veteran is coming off a lackluster 2025 campaign in which he recorded just 38 tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 regular-season appearances, but he totaled 24.5 sacks across the 2023 and 2024 seasons and will now be a prime bounceback candidate under Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Greenard is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery undergone in December. |

The Eagles selected Stowers in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 54th overall.
Analysis: Stowers (6-foot-4, 239 pounds) began his college career as a distinguished quarterback recruit for Texas A&M but couldn't catch on at the position, leading to him converting to tight end. He would play tight end for New Mexico State (2023) and Vanderbilt (2024-2025), and he proved a quick study. By the time he transferred to the Commodores, it was clear that Stowers had standout natural pass-catching ability, both in the sense of ball skills and yardage after the catch. Though Stowers might not be a good blocker by tight end standards, his 4.51-second 40 at the combine is actually faster than fellow rookie and 20th overall Eagles draft pick Makai Lemon's 4.53-second pro day 40. With a 45.5-inch vertical jump and 135-inch broad jump to go with that speed, Stowers is highly athletic even by wide receiver standards. Although he can't play the same type of tight end as starter Dallas Goedert, it might be difficult for Philadelphia to keep Stowers off the field as time passes. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Eagles add first-round WR
Fri, Apr 24, 2026, 12:04 PM
The Eagles' selection of WR Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft provides further indication that the team is preparing to move on from Brown, Tim McManus of ESPN.com and Zach Berman of The Athletic report.
Analysis: McManus notes that Adam Schefter of ESPN previously suggested Brown appears likely to be traded to the Patriots on or after June 1, and the addition of Lemon to a Philadelphia wideout corps that has already brought in Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore this offseason is another sign pointing to such an outcome. Meanwhile, the Patriots opted to bolster their offensive line depth in Round 1 rather than add a high-profile rookie WR by selecting offensive tackle Caleb Lomu 28th overall. For his part, however, Eagles GM Howie Roseman remains reluctant to tip his hand regarding the team's plans for Brown, stating Thursday, "For us, A.J. is a member of the Eagles. ... We don't have any trades that have been made or that are done. And I think for us, we're taking this one day at a time." |

Selected by Eagles
Thu, Apr 23, 2026, 9:05 PM
The Eagles selected Lemon in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 20th overall.
Analysis: The expectation for some time has been that the Eagles will eventually trade A.J. Brown, and the selection of Lemon in the first round only reinforces that expectation. Lemon (5-foot-11, 193 pounds) is a very different receiver from Brown -- Brown is a prototypical boundary receiver whereas Lemon ideally fits in the slot -- but Lemon's play at USC gives reason to suspect he will draw targets and convert targets efficiently as soon as he gets on the field. If the Eagles subtract Brown for Lemon then they might need to allocate more of their passing game toward the underneath and slot than they have otherwise during Jalen Hurts' time as starter. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Patriots remain in mix for trade
Mon, Apr 20, 2026, 7:20 AM
The Patriots remain at the clear forefront in terms of trade talks for Brown, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Considering that a potential deal for Brown isn't likely to happen before June 1, Schefter notes that another team still could emerge as a contender to acquire the wideout, but for now the Patriots appear to be the favorite to land the 28-year-old. Added context regarding the chances of New England being Brown's landing spot will arrive in the coming days, via the team's approach to the WR position at the upcoming NFL Draft. Meanwhile, since the end of the 2025 regular season, the Eagles have bolstered their depth at wide receiver by adding Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown GM Roseman won't reveal much
Wed, Apr 15, 2026, 12:58 PM
Eagles GM Howie Roseman avoided questions about Brown's future while talking with reporters Tuesday, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Roseman initially declined to comment on Brown when answering a two-part question, instead focusing on recent trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks. When a different reporter asked about Brown again, Roseman responded, "What do you think the odds of me answering this question any different than I answered it anywhere else?" Roseman then repeated his line from earlier this offseason, saying "A.J. Brown's an Eagle." The response will do nothing to quiet trade rumors, with numerous reports suggesting the Eagles had serious talks with the Rams and Patriots in March. From a cap standpoint, it becomes much easier for the Eagles to move on from Brown after June 1, which means this could drag out for a while even if the team has already made an internal decision of sorts. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Dealt to Philadelphia
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 3:41 PM
The Eagles agreed to terms Friday on a trade to acquire Wicks (concussion) from Green Bay in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wicks will reportedly ink a new one-year, $12.5 million contract with Philadelphia, providing him a substantial pay raise. The soon-to-be 25-year-old wideout doesn't necessarily face an easier path to playing time with his new team, though that could change if rumors surrounding A.J. Brown as a potential trade candidate do ultimately materialize this offseason. Per the current state of the Eagles' roster, all of Brown, DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and TE Dallas Goedert represent target competition for Wicks, who tallied just a 30-332-2 line across 14 regular-season appearances as a depth option for the Packers in 2025. Wicks appears to have gained full clearance from the concussion that forced him to miss the end of the 2025 campaign. |

Gets look from Philadelphia
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 6:22 PM
The Eagles signed Martin (knee) to a one-year contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: As an undrafted rookie last season, Martin played three regular-season games with Baltimore, with all 34 of his snaps coming on special teams. He tore his ACL in late November and ended the campaign on IR. It's unclear how far along Martin is in his recovery, and there's certainly a chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. |

Headed to Philly
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:47 PM
Tryon-Shoyinka and the Eagles agreed on a one-year contract Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Tryon-Shoyinka will join Philadelphia after combining to record 22 total tackles (10 solo) over 16 regular-season games with the Browns and Bears in 2025. The 26-year-old will provide his new squad with another experienced backup option behind Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo on the defensive line. |

Elijah Moore Elijah Moore Joining Eagles' WR corps
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 7:16 PM
The Eagles are slated to sign Moore to a one-year deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: In nine regular-season games with the Bills in 2025, Moore caught just nine passes on 17 targets for 112 yards and carried six times for 24 yards and a TD. However, the 2021 second-rounder did log a 61/538/1 receiving line with Browns a year prior, and the 25-year-old will now look to engineer a bounce-back campaign with the Eagles. For now, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown are atop the team's WR depth chart, but there's been plenty of speculation that Brown could be moved, and if that happens, Moore could push for notable role in Philadelphia's offense in 2026. |

Inks deal with Philly
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 7:39 PM
The Eagles signed Gray to a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Gray spent his first seven seasons with the Saints and was selected to the Pro Bowl and named a first-team All-Pro as a special-teams ace in 2021. He was a second-team All-Pro twice. Gray was released ahead of Week 1 last summer and spent the 2025 campaign bouncing around the league with the Ravens, Broncos and Bucs, appearing in just five regular-season contests. |
