It's March 10th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. NFL free agency tampering is in full swing even before the official start on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Eastern. The Philadelphia Eagles have already lost a few key defenders with linebacker Nikopy Dean heading to the Las Vegas Raiders on a three-year. Thirty-six million dollar deal. Edge, Russia, Jalen Phillips landed a huge four-year, $120 million dollar contract elsewhere after the Eagles extended Jordan Davis for. Three years and $78 million dollars. Safety. Read Blankenship is off to the Houston Texans on a three-year, $24.75 million dollar pact. These moves net the Eagles four compensatory picks in the 2025 draft, helping offset the losses without spending big right away. Howey Roseman can now target release players who won't eat into those extra assets to fill needs cheaply before the 2026 draft. Things are bummed about breaking up tandems like the exciting White's Secondary Duo, but

there's optimism for smart ads along the offensive line and, at, tight end. Injuries and contract uncertainties make depth crucial, especially with starters like Landon Dickerson and Cam Jergens coming off rough patches. One prime option is interior lineman Elton Jenkins, cut by the Green Bay Packers after leg ligament damage. The 30-year-old former second-rounder started 94 of 96 games at Guard, Tackle, and Center, and he knows new offensive coordinator. Sean Manion from their Packers days. Meanwhile, ex-Eagles Guard Mecky Bechton got released by the Los Angeles Chargers to save $9.7 million dollars. The six-foot-seven B started all 19 games in their Super Bowl run two years back and could return on a cheaper deal. At tight end, Philly Native John New Smith is available off his Pittsburgh Steelers cut, bringing Pro Bowl upside as a stopgap without breaking the bank. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
