The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off free agency for the 2026 season with a mix of retention

and shakeups.

General manager Howie Roseman is shopping wide receiver AJ Brown but hell firm on a high

asking price, validated by a recent Jalen Waddle trade.

The extended defensive lineman Jordan Davis and signed cornerback Rick Willen to a one-year

deal worth up to $15 million to bolster the secondary.

Meanwhile, the Eagles added speed with Hollywood Brown on a one-year pact after a stint with

the Kansas City Chiefs where he caught 49 passes for 587 yards last season.

They also reluctantly brought back tight end Dallas goadard, their top red zone scorer

with 11 touchdowns in 2025 after no real.

The market emerged analysts call this offseason met for a team that underachieved last year

lowering expectations while keeping core strengths intact.

Pairing Willen with Cooper Dejan and Quinyan Mitchell could create a top tier secondary

but trading Brown won't instantly fix issues.

On the edge, they picked up outside linebacker Arnold E. Biketti to join J. Lix Hunt and

Nolan Smith Jr. though they still hunt for more rushers via trades or free agency.

The DEP is thin too, with calls to re-sign Marcus Epps as a reliable backup.

Looking ahead, Mott Drafts project him grabbing offensive tackle Caden Proctor at pick 23

for insurance behind Lane Johnson.

Overall, these moves signal a high variance push to stay playoff contenders without a

full rebuild.
