After winning a second Super Bowl in the 2024 season, the Philadelphia Eagles had an up-and-down 2025 campaign.
Despite one of the league’s best defenses and plenty of star talent on the offensive side of the ball, the Eagles made a much quicker playoff exit than they anticipated, which has already led to significant changes. While Nick Sirianni remains head coach, he brought in a new offensive coordinator in Sean Mannion, with more changes expected.
From A.J. Brown’s uncertain future, to needs for a tight end, pass rusher and more, Philadelphia figures to have a busy offseason as it looked to retool for 2026.
The Sporting News is tracking all the Eagles’ latest moves as free agency gets under way, from official signings and trades, to rumors and rumblings. Here’s how Philadelphia’s offseason is shaping up.

Eagles free agency rumors, news, updates
Eagles sign CB Riq Woolen
Philadelphia’s first external potential starter of the offseason will be a cornerback, as Schefter reports the team has agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal with former Seahawks DB Riq Woolen.
He’s set to start opposite of Quinyon Mitchell in 2026, also meaning Cooper DeJean won’t have to become a full-time corner.
Philadelphia bringing in pair of TEs, but Goedert remains on open market
Philadelphia is bringing back tight end Grant Calcaterra on a one-year deal, per Schefter, and also reportedly agreed to a contract with former Jaguars veteran Johnny Mundt. Neither are expected to become starting options, but Calcaterra will be a backup, while Mundt is known for his run-blocking.
S Reed Blankenship signs with Texans
Former Eagles safety Reed Blankenship agreed to a three-year deal with Houston, ending his run as a starter in Philadelphia.
LB Nakobe Dean heading to Raiders
Yet another former Eagle is heading elsewhere, with linebacker Nakobe Dean signing a three-year, $36 million deal with the Raiders, per Schultz.
Dean joins Jaelan Phillips and Jahan Dotson as names to depart Philly before the Eagles have signed an external free agent.
WR Jahan Dotson heading to Falcons
Former Eagles receiver Jahan Dotson is departing for the Falcons on a two-year deal, per Schultz.
Michael Carter II signs renegotiated deal with Eagles
Defensive back Michael Carter II has signed a renegotiated contract with Philadelphia, per Berman, after the team acquired him last season. Carter was set to count more than $10 million against the cap.
Bradley Chubb a name to watch in replacing Phillips
The Athletic’s Zach Berman reports that with Phillips gone, the Eagles could eye another former Miami Dolphin in Bradley Chubb, who has experience with DC Vic Fangio.
‘No momentum’ on an A.J. Brown deal yet
Ian Rapoport reports that the Eagles haven’t found “any momentum” in an A.J. Brown trade yet, and once free agency is “off and running” it could be off the table.
Philadelphia in need of pass rushers following Jaelan Phillips-Panthers deal
Jaelan Phillips, the former Dolphins EDGE who the Eagles acquired at last season’s trade deadline, has left Philadelphia to sign a four-year, $120 million deal with the Panthers, per Schefter.
Phillips had been heavily connected to an extension with the Eagles, but he lands a massive deal to go to Carolina. Immediately, star-level pass rushing becomes a big need for Philadelphia; Phillips was considered their best pass rusher in 2025, and he leaves a void the team will need to fill.
The Eagles had a “walkaway number” for Phillips, per Zach Berman, which came to fruition.
Eagles extend DT Jordan Davis
The first major domino of Philadelphia’s free agency was extending DT Jordan Davis, who had a breakout 2025 and became one of the best players in the league at his position.
Davis received a three-year extension worth $78 million, per Zach Berman. He becomes the highest paid NT in NFL history.
