Your updated guide to the Eagles offseason: Personnel changes, draft targets and more

The free agent frenzy is mostly in the rearview mirror, so it’s a good time to take stock of all the changes the Eagles have made so far this offseason.

It’s been a busy one, and more changes will be made with plenty of free agents still on the market and the NFL draft a month away.

Here’s an updated guide to the offseason, and where things stand with the Eagles:

The first domino of the offseason to fall was the Eagles moving on from former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, whom the team replaced by hiring first-time coordinator Sean Mannion. The Eagles surrounded him with some new additions to the staff, some of whom were coordinator candidates: Josh Grizzard (pass game coordinator); Jerrod Johnson (senior assistant/special projects for the head coach); Ryan Mahaffey (run game coordinator/tight ends); and Chris Kuper, the new offensive line coach who replaced longtime line coach Jeff Stoutland.

There were some minor changes to the defensive staff, too, with Christian Parker taking the coordinator job in Dallas.

The full coaching staff for the 2026 season is here.

As expected, it wasn’t a very busy free agency period for the Eagles, who didn’t have a ton of salary cap flexibility. But Howie Roseman and Co. still managed to make some upgrades. Here’s a list of the new players on the team who arrived via free agency (all of the players signed one-year deals):

CB Riq Woolen: The Eagles filled Adoree’ Jackson’s spot by bringing in the talented Woolen.

WR Hollywood Brown: Brown is still in his late 20s and can still stretch the field. It remains possible A.J. Brown is off the team come September, but Brown is a clear upgrade over Jahan Dotson at the WR3 spot.

TE Johnny Mundt: Mundt, who was released by Jacksonville, should provide a blocking boost.

CB Jonathan Jones: A veteran who gives the Eagles depth in the secondary.

Edge Arnold Ebiketie: Ebiketie has some tools to make an impact but may be more of a rotational piece depending how the rest of the edge corps shakes out.

RB Dameon Pierce: Out went AJ Dillon, in came Pierce, who should fill a similar role.

TE Stone Smartt: A former college quarterback who provides depth to the tight end position.

S J.T. Gray: After trading Sydney Brown, the Eagles acquired a veteran with special teams prowess.

The Eagles also added via trade, acquiring quarterback Andy Dalton from the Carolina Panthers.

Some of the additions came from within. The Eagles re-signed the following players:

TE Dallas Goedert: A career-high 11 touchdowns didn’t net Goedert a major deal on the free-agent market, so he’s back with the Eagles on a one-year deal.

TE Grant Calcaterra: The Eagles signed Mundt in part because Calcaterra hasn’t been a good enough blocker, but they still like Calcaterra’s upside as a receiver — at least enough to bring him back on a one-year deal.

S Marcus Epps: As it stands, Epps will compete for a starting job next to Drew Mukuba. Can he fill the void left by Reed Blankenship’s departure?

P Braden Mann: The largest commitment by years the Eagles awarded in free agency went to the punter, who signed a four-year deal.

The following Eagles weren’t free agents, but the team either extended or restructured their contracts for the 2026 season and/or beyond:

Cap limitations in some cases, and younger players waiting in the wings for others, meant some free agents had to find new homes for the 2026 season. Here’s a look at the former Eagles who signed elsewhere in free agency:

As mentioned, the Eagles also traded backup safety Sydney Brown to Atlanta in a deal that improved their draft capital.

The following Eagles remain unsigned and are free agents:

If you’ve read this far, first, thank you. Second, it’s kind of remarkable that we’re this far into the offseason and there is no permanent resolution to the A.J. Brown situation.

It remains possible the Eagles trade him for the right package, and New England still feels like the best fit. That could happen at or around the draft, or not until after June 1, when the cap ramifications lessen for the Eagles.

It’s also very possible the Eagles keep their top receiver for 2026.

The Eagles still have some work to do to bolster their depth chart. Here are a few position groups with the most obvious needs:

Edge rusher: It’s the position with the most glaring need as far as top-level talent goes. It seems unlikely the Eagles enter the season with the trio currently at the top of the depth chart: Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, and Ebiketie. There are free agents still on the market and the draft could be a place for some depth additions.

Offensive line: The starting spots are filled, but the Eagles need some reinforcements behind veterans with uncertain long-term futures.

Safety: The Eagles probably don’t mind Epps starting next to Mukuba, and they think Carter can play safety despite being a nickel for most of his NFL career. Still, it’s a position to watch as the offseason progresses.

Wide receiver: If A.J. Brown is indeed dealt, would the Eagles go into the season with Hollywood Brown as the No. 2 next to DeVonta Smith, with Darius Cooper as the No. 3? That seems unlikely. Even if A.J. Brown stays, the Eagles could be looking to add some depth here.

It’s time for the Eagles to turn the page. They’ve spent the last few years infusing talent to the defense via the draft, and as those paydays loom, it’s time to get younger and less expensive on offense.

That means the Eagles are probably most likely to use their first-round pick on an offensive player. Will it be Lane Johnson’s replacement? Will it be a wide receiver?

Free agency is ongoing, and there are still some key dates to pay attention to as the offseason rolls on:

The annual league meeting is from March 29 to April 1 in Arizona.

The draft will take place beginning on Thursday, April 23, in Pittsburgh. Teams have until April 15 to conduct visits, tests, and interviews with prospective draft picks.

NFL teams have a May 1 deadline to exercise fifth-year options for players selected in the first round of the 2023 draft. For the Eagles, that means Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith.

Teams may conduct their three-day rookie camps from May 2 to May 4 or May 9 to May 11.

The spring league meeting is May 19 and 20 in Orlando.

The Eagles’ opponents are known. They play home games vs. their three divisional opponents (Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants), as well as other games vs. the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Houston Texans.

Besides their three NFC East road games, the Eagles also travel to play the San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tennessee Titans.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles will get an international game. The remaining possibilities are: London (Jacksonville or Washington); Mexico City (San Francisco); and Rio de Janeiro (Dallas).

The schedule is out in May, but the opponents for the aforementioned “home” teams for those international contests likely will be known before the regular release.
