The Eagles agreed to terms with former Temple offensive lineman Matt Hennessy and are re-signing punter Branden Mann and longsnapper Rick Lovato.

Eagles, kicker Jake Elliott agree on four-year extension
The Eagles agreed to terms with Jake Elliott Wednesday on a four-year contract extension that stretches through the 2028 season.
The move, which was announced by the team a few hours before the new league year begins on Wednesday afternoon, will reportedly make Elliott one of the highest-paid kickers in the NFL.
Jason Kelce on the Eagles’ new free agent additions: ‘I want to be a part of this so bad’
In the week-plus since Jason Kelce’s official retirement in Philadelphia, the Eagles’ roster has seen some major shakeups. From fellow longtime Eagle Fletcher Cox retiring to Saquon Barkley joining the team, the Eagles have made a lot of big moves.
But the addition of Barkley behind the offensive line has Kelce the most excited. He said the star running back isn’t enough to coax him out of retirement, but it did give him pangs of regret.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson apologizes to Eagles fans
Hours after news broke Tuesday that he was rejoining the Eagles on a three-year deal, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson offered an apology to Birds fans.
Gardner-Johnson didn't specific what he was apologizing for, but during a Twitch stream in July, he said people in the city were his least favorite thing about Philadelphia, calling them “[bleeping] obnoxious.”
Four best linebackers still available for the Eagles
Three days into free agency, the Eagles are still in need of a linebacker.
The market for off-ball linebackers has been active during the first two days of the NFL’s legal tampering period, with several players agreeing to lucrative multi-year contracts with new teams.
Why did the Eagles break with tradition and spend big money on Saquon Barkley?
One year ago, I was waging a long and lonely writing campaign against the idea of drafting Texas running back Bijan Robinson. A few months later, I was extolling the Eagles’ brilliance in solving their backfield dilemma as they did: letting Miles Sanders walk, trading for D’Andre Swift, entering the season with a trio of capable backs who were combining to make less than the Panthers paid Sanders.
In both cases, the rationale was simple: It rarely makes sense to invest significant assets in a position where replacement costs are low, depreciation is high, and top-end output has less impact than other spots on the field.

Saquon Barkley Eagles contract details
The Bears haven't traded Justin Fields yet. Could he land with the Eagles?
With Marcus Mariota on his way out of Philadelphia, one rumor continuing to spread is the possibility the Eagles could trade for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer suggested the Eagles could be trading partners with Chicago if the Bears were willing to accept a late round draft pick for Fields, who hasn't drawn interest from many teams looking for a quarterback.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson coming back to the Eagles
C.J. Gardner-Johnson is headed back to the Eagles.
One year removed from leaving the team as a free agent, the fiery defensive back on Tuesday agreed on terms to return on a three-year contract with a maximum value of $33 million, according to league sources.
Julio Jones among Eagles’ remaining free agents
After two days of unofficial free agency (which technically begins at 4 p.m. today), 14 former Eagles players have yet to be signed by other teams.
Among those yet to sign are Julio Jones, the seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro the Eagles added to the team in October. Jones, 35, had just 11 catches in 10 games last season, but did manage to haul in three touchdowns.
