Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Agrees to reworked contract
Wed, May 7, 2025, 10:00 AM
Goedert and the Eagles are in agreement on a reworked contract that will keep him with the team for 2025, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Offseason trade rumors never materialized, keeping the 30-year-old with the only NFL team he's known. Goedert averaged between 3.7 and 4.6 catches per game each of the past six regular seasons, reliably putting up solid efficiency stats on 5-to-6 targets per game, with the biggest difference from year to year being his number of absences. He's missed multiple games in five straight seasons, including a career-high seven last year before bouncing back in the playoffs with a 17-215-1 receiving line in four games. Goedert should continue to provide low-end TE1 fantasy production when healthy, serving as Philadelphia's No. 3 receiving option behind WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. |

Terrace Marshall Terrace Marshall Landing with Philly
Thu, Apr 10, 2025, 4:51 PM
Marshall has agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Marshall, who the Panthers took in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded three catches for 41 yards on six targets in seven games for the Raiders. With the Eagles, Marshall will have a chance to compete for depth slotting behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but as long as the top duo is healthy, steady targets will be hard for the team's other wideouts to come by. |

Avery Williams Avery Williams Bound for Philadelphia
Fri, Mar 14, 2025, 5:11 PM
Williams signed a contract with the Eagles on Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams was limited to return duties with the Falcons in 2024, finishing the regular season with 408 kick-return yards and 185 punt-return yards across 17 games. He'll likely share those responsibilities with Cooper DeJean in Philadelphia, but Williams will have a chance to compete with Will Shipley and AJ Dillon for backup duties out of the backfield behind Saquon Barkley. |

Kylen Granson Kylen Granson Lands with Philadelphia
Fri, Mar 14, 2025, 2:57 PM
Granson is signing a one-year contract with the Eagles.
Analysis: A 2021 fourth-round pick, Granson was the tight end of choice in clear passing situations for most of his tenure with the Colts, but he didn't get much playing time otherwise and scored just one TD in 62 regular-season games. He did have back-to-back seasons of 30-plus catches and more than 300 yards in 2022 and 2023, before sinking to a 14-182-0 receiving line in 2024. Granson may end up part of a rotation in Philadelphia if the trade rumors concerning Dallas Goedert come to fruition. |

Harrison Bryant Harrison Bryant Links up with Philadelphia
Thu, Mar 13, 2025, 2:11 PM
Bryant signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bryant appeared in 13 regular-season games with Las Vegas in 2024, in which span he secured nine of 12 targets for 86 yards. The 2020 fourth-round pick will next compete to entrench himself in a similar depth role with Philadelphia, where Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra stand atop the tight end depth chart. |

A.J. Dillon AJ Dillon Finds new home in Philly
Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 4:58 PM
The Eagles and Dillon (neck) agreed to terms of a contract Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Dillon sustained stingers in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign and also during preseason 2024, which kept him on injured reserve this past season. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Dillon has received clearance from a top neck specialist, allowing him a new opportunity in Philadelphia, where he'll compete with 2024 fourth-rounder Will Shipley as the top backup behind workhorse running back Saquon Barkley. Josina Anderson of BovadaHub.com reported that Dillon received a one-year deal from the Eagles. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Set to back up Hurts in 2025
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 6:09 PM
McKee is in line to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts for the 2025 season after the Eagles traded Kenny Pickett to the Browns on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: McKee spent most of the 2024 campaign as the Eagles' emergency quarterback behind Hurts and Pickett. McKee did appear in two games and started in the Eagles' regular-season finale against the Giants, during which he completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 seventh-round pick should be the favorite to be the Eagles' backup quarterback in 2025 unless another QB is added through free agency or the draft. |

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Dorian Thompson-Robinson Dealt to Philly
Mon, Mar 10, 2025, 4:49 PM
Thompson-Robinson and a 2025 fifth-round pick were traded to the Eagles on Monday in exchange for Kenny Pickett, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: The 2023 fifth-round pick appeared in 15 games (five starts) for the Browns over the past two seasons, completing 121 of his 230 pass attempts for 880 yards, one touchdown and 10 interceptions. Additionally, Thompson-Robinson rushed for 187 yards on 35 attempts. The 25-year-old now gets a fresh start in Philadelphia, where he's expected to sit behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee, serving as the team's No. 3 quarterback. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Handles No. 3 receiver role in 2024
Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 4:19 PM
Dotson secured 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards across 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024. He also rushed once for 13 yards.
Analysis: Dotson played a sizeable 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working in a No. 3 receiver role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. His most impactful game of the season game during the Eagles' win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, with two catches for 42 yards on three targets. The 2022 first-round pick looks set to reprise a similar role for the 2025 season, though with all of Brown, Smith, running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Dallas Goedert pushing for opportunities on offense, he seems likely to again end up on the outside looking in for fantasy purposes. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Quiet rookie season
Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 3:05 PM
Shipley rushed 30 times for 82 yards (2.7 YPC) across 16 regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also secured all four of his targets for 35 yards and compiled 173 yards as a kick returner.
Analysis: Shipley, a 2024 fourth-round pick, handled a depth role behind Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell out of the backfield for Philadelphia, ultimately logging an unremarkable rookie campaign. He did, however, go off for 77 yards and a score, the first of his career, on just four carries versus Washington in the NFC Championship Game. With Gainwell set to become an unrestricted free agent, Shipley could climb the depth chart behind Barkley in Year 2. |

Kenneth Gainwell Kenneth Gainwell Staring down free agency
Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 12:02 PM
Gainwell rushed 75 times for 290 yards (3.9 YPC) and one touchdown across 17 regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also secured 16 of 22 targets for 116 receiving yards, while racking up a career-high 456 yards as a kick returner.
Analysis: Gainwell spent the 2024 campaign operating in a depth complementary role behind superstar backfield leader Saquon Barkley, culminating in just six carries for 10 yards during the team's Super Bowl LIX win. Having played out the final year of his rookie deal, the 2021 fifth-round pick is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year next week. Gainwell's versatile skillset will improve his odds of securing another pass-catching or change-of-pace role. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Makes two appearances in 2024
Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 11:57 AM
McKee completed 30 of 45 pass attempts (67 percent) for 323 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions across two regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also rushed five times for minus-one yards.
Analysis: McKee played 34 percent of offensive snaps Week 17, with Jalen Hurts in the concussion protocol and backup Kenny Pickett having been forced out early due to a ribs injury, and he then started the team's Week 18 regular-season finale against New York. Having shown out well in limited action, McKee seems a solid candidate to reprise his No. 3 quarterback role behind Hurts and Pickett during the 2025 season. He has two years remaining on his deal with Philadelphia. |

Kenny Pickett Kenny Pickett Capable as backup in 2024
Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 11:54 AM
Pickett completed 25 of 42 pass attempts (60 percent) for 291 yards, two touchdowns and one interceptions across five regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also rushed nine times for 15 yards and one touchdown, and he fumbled once.
Analysis: Almost all of Pickett's offensive snaps came in two appearances, Week 16 and Week 17, when he filled in for a concussed Jalen Hurts before being forced off the field due to a ribs injury of his own. Pickett was cleared in time for the start of Philadelphia's playoff run, ultimately playing a backup role behind Hurts en route to the team's Super Bowl LIX victory. He has one year remaining on his deal with the Eagles and figures to reprise his role as Hurts' backup for the 2025 season. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Pens two-year extension with Philly
Tue, Mar 4, 2025, 1:22 PM
The Eagles and Barkley agreed to terms Tuesday on a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Barkley's new deal reportedly includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing, plus incentives worth up to an additional $15 million, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year, Barkley's arrival in Philadelphia transformed the team's identity, resulting in a season which ultimately culminated in a Super Bowl LIX victory over Kansas City. Barkley will warrant consideration for the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts, with the Eagles set to return a top-end offensive line to open holes for one of the most explosive and versatile threats from scrimmage in the league. |

Lew Nichols Lew Nichols Back with Philly
Tue, Feb 25, 2025, 4:30 PM
The Eagles signed Nichols on Tuesday.
Analysis: Nichols spent chunks of the 2024 season on the Eagles' practice squad but was cut again ahead of the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs. A seventh-round pick by the Packers in the 2023 Draft, Nichols has yet to appear in a regular-season game in the NFL. He'll compete for a job this offseason. |

Danny Gray Danny Gray Signs future deal with Eagles
Fri, Feb 14, 2025, 7:30 PM
Philadelphia signed Gray to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Gray signed with the Eagles' practice squad in mid-September after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated for a single game during the 2024 campaign, but by signing a future deal, Gray will be able to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp with the Eagles. |

Tyrion Davis-Price Tyrion Davis-Price Staying in Philadelphia
Fri, Feb 14, 2025, 7:26 PM
The Eagles signed Davis-Price to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Davis-Price signed a one-year contract with the Eagles in February of 2024 after spending the first two years of his NFL career with the 49ers. He was unable to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but Davis-Price stuck around on the practice squad and was elevated for Week 17 against the Cowboys, during which he logged three carries for seven yards. Davis-Price will have the opportunity to participate in the Eagles' OTAs, minicamp and training camp in his quest to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 season. |

Elijah Cooks Elijah Cooks Inks future deal with Philadelphia
Fri, Feb 14, 2025, 7:15 PM
The Eagles signed Cooks to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Cooks signed with the Eagles' practice squad Jan. 14 after spending most of the 2024 season on the Jaguars' practice squad. The 26-year-old wideout will be on Philadelphia's 90-man roster for the start of the new league year, which gives him the opportunity to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Two grabs in SB LIX victory
Sun, Feb 9, 2025, 10:23 PM
Goedert secured both targets for 27 yards in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
Analysis: The talented tight end helped ignite the Eagles' first touchdown drive with a 20-yard reception on the second play of the possession, and he subsequently drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on the same drive when he took a hit to the head from the Chiefs' Trent McDuffie on a third-down incompletion. Goedert would go on to play a minor role the rest of the way, but by recording a second catch, he finished with multiple receptions in each of Philadelphia's four postseason victories. When healthy, Goedert was a key complementary target for Jalen Hurts once again during the regular season and postseason, but he's slated to head into the final year of his contract in 2025 unless an extension is reached or Philadelphia opts to exercise a potential out that would result in a dead cap hit of just over $11 million. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Comes up big in SB win
Sun, Feb 9, 2025, 9:50 PM
Smith brought in four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
Analysis: Smith had enjoyed his fair share of success against Steve Spagnuolo's Chiefs defenses in the previous two meetings, including the Eagles' narrow Super Bowl LVII loss to Kansas City two years prior when he'd recorded seven receptions for 100 yards. Therefore, Smith's team-leading yardage total Sunday wasn't exactly a surprise, and he got to that number with a back-breaking 46-yard touchdown grab on a perfectly thrown ball by Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter. Smith was particularly consistent down the stretch of the regular season and throughout the postseason, posting a combined 39-470-4 line on 44 targets from Week 15 on. Smith enters the second season of a $75 million extension in 2025, so he'll once again project as a key component of the offense as the Eagles look to win back-to-back titles. |
