Eagles Boost Cornerbacks, Edge Rushers in Free Agency

About this episode

The Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their roster during the second week of free agency, adding eight new players and re-signing three from last season. Key acquisitions include cornerbacks Riq Woolen and Jonathan Jones, edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie, wide receiver Marquise Hollywood Brown, quarterback Andy Dalton, tight ends Johnny Mundt and Stone Smartt, and running back Dameon Pierce. The team also retained tight end Dallas Goedert, tight end Grant Calcaterra, and punter Braden Mann. These moves, seen as smart risks with low downside, strengthen the Eagles defense and wide receiver corps, while keeping a proven tight end in place despite injury history. With cap space opening up and nine draft picks, the Eagles are poised for more roster enhancements before the draft.
