The Eagles were one and done in the playoffs, but it wasn't all bad for a team that finished the regular season 11- 6 overall. The first back-to-back NFC East Champion since the 2001-04 Eagles (four) over two decades ago, Philadelphia is the only NFL team to repeat as a division winner in 2025. Philadelphia is one of just two NFL teams with five consecutive postseason berths (tying a team record set from 2000-04), joining Buffalo (seven). The Eagles are also one of only three clubs to have advanced to the playoffs in eight of the previous nine seasons (along with Buffalo and Kansas City), representing the best nine-year stretch in franchise history.

Now, Howie Roseman will decide on 21 free agents and build Sean Mannion's scheme around quarterback Jalen Hurts.

With the Super Bowl now complete and the new league year fast approaching, we're predicting the Eagles' offensive depth chart heading into free agency.

QB: 2​


Starter: Jalen Hurts: $31,971,800

Tanner McKee: $1,191,630

At an average annual salary of $51 million a year, Hurts is the first NFL quarterback to make over $50 million in a season and win the Super Bowl. The previous record was held by Patrick Mahomes. The Eagles quarterback is entering the third year of the five-year, $255 million deal he signed prior to the 2023 season, and his $51.5 million salary is guaranteed for 2026 as he'll count $31,971,800 against the cap with a September 1 option bonus looming. This season will be the final year of guaranteed money, and his cap hit will rise to $42,132,800 in 2027 and $47,541,000 in 2028, according to Over The Cap.

RB: 4​


Starter: Saquon Barkley: $9,881,100

Tank Bigsby: $1,485,399

Will Shipley: $1,254,241

Carson Steele: $1,005,000

Ben VanSumeren: RFA

WR: 7​


Starter: A.J. Browns: $23,393,498

Starter: DeVonta Smith: $10,726,510

Britain Covey: $1,215,000

Quez Watkins: $1,075,000

Starter: Johnny Wilson: $1,054,252

Darius Cooper: $1,010,000

Danny Gray: $1,005,000

We don't think Philadelphia will trade A.J. Brown, and Johnny Wilson was displaying dynamic potential before his knee injury.

TE: 3​


Starter: Dallas Goedert (Free Agent)

Draft pick

E.J. Jenkins: $1,025,166

Jaheim Bell: $1,005,000

Cameron Latu: $1,005,000

We're predicting Goedert returns on a team-friendly one or two-year deal. Philadelphia should still draft another tight end, with Grant Calcaterra a free agent.

OL: 12​


Starter: Lane Johnson: $20,299,000

Starter: Jordan Mailata: $15,855,233

Starter: Landon Dickerson: $10,275,000

Starter: Cam Jurgens: $5,421,200

Starter: Tyler Steen: $3,900,534

John Ojukwu: $1,172,500

Drew Kendall: $1,093,769

Willie Lampkin: $1,005,000

Cameron Williams: $960,392

Myles Hinton: $943,316

Hollin Pierce: $885,000

Jake Majors: $885,000

A full off-season and an extra month of rest could allow this unit to return to its dominant ways, with Cameron Williams being a player to watch.
