The Eagles have moved past Super Bowl 59 and are locked in on having a singular focus on the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and now the Mandatory Minicamp have concluded, and Philadelphia will get a five-week break before returning to the NovaCare Complex.
Training Camp begins in late July – July 22 is report day, with a July 23 practice to follow – and a surprise move or two could still be on the way, but the majority of the work has been completed. As we await the arrival of training camp, here are the winners and losers of the Eagles' offseason.
Sirianni landed a new contract during the offseason. With no contract disputes or severe injuries, Sirianni confirmed that all 90 players on the Eagles roster were in attendance, giving some insight into the urgency of this season and the leadership in place.
With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith working out at their respective camps, Jalen Hurts was able to build a connection with Jahan Dotson and other Eagles pass catchers. Dotson reportedly didn't have any drops during the off-season, and he's in line for a breakout season in a contract year.
Tyler Steen appeared to take all of the snaps as the starting right guard, as he had during OTAs. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was far from crowing Steen the winner when asked about the positional battle before practice.
The St. Joseph’s Prep product mixed in throws to other receivers as he split third-unit snaps with Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He's not nipping at Tanner McKee's heels, but McCord will definitely make the roster.
Gray was a topic of discussion around the NovaCare Complex, and the player we featured in a recent article continues to turn heads at Eagles practice. Gray signed with the Eagles' practice squad in mid-September after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated for a single game during the 2024 campaign.
Acquired in a trade for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Green had a quiet offseason. Tyler Steen appeared to take all of the snaps as the starting right guard, as he had during OTAs. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, when asked about the positional battle before practice, listed Matt Pryor, Trevor Keegan, Darian Kinnard, and Brett Toth as also being in the mix when training camp begins next month.
First-round picks are essential, and Campbell was the first linebacker selected by Philadelphia in the first round since 1979. Campbell wasn't able to practice much this spring, but the Eagles are setting clear expectations for his summer. The good news for Campbell is that he should be able to maintain his conditioning as he rehabs that surgically repaired shoulder.
The Eagles acquired the former UCLA star in a trade that sent Kenny Pickett to Cleveland. Upon arriving, Thompson-Robinson discussed playing Chess with Jalen Hurts and offered elite athleticism at the position. Fast-forward a few weeks, and Philadelphia drafted former Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord in the sixth round. Philadelphia will carry four quarterbacks throughout the summer, but Roseman drafted McCord, and he fits what the Eagles do with the deep ball.
The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Houston for Kenyon Green, opening up a starting role for Sydney Brown or Tristin McCollum. Brown is a physical safety who is stout on special teams but doesn't operate efficiently in space or match up against elite pass catchers. Enter Andrew Mukuba, a Swiss army knife from Texas who could keep Brown relegated to special team duties. Mukuba can play the slot, operate in space, and play with range, drawing comparisons to Gardner-Johnson.
The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Ringo is the biggest winner, and although he'll battle Jackson, Ricks is barely mentioned when it comes to first team reps.
