The Philadelphia Eagles are likely going to lose a lot of good players in free agency this offseason to other teams around the NFL. However, one of the silver linings is that they will receive a maximum of four compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft for the players they lose, minus the players they gain.
Here we'll track each signing (both lost and gained), and whether or not each player will count toward the compensatory pick formula. Bookmark 🔖, please.
• CB Isaiah Rodgers: Rodgers reportedly agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year deal worth $15 million. That should qualify him for a sixth-round pick in the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• iDL Milton Williams: Williams reportedly agreed to terms with the New England Patriots on a four-year deal worth $104 million. That should net the Eagles a third-round comp pick. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Josh Sweat: Sweat reportedly agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals on a four-year deal worth $76.4 million. That should qualify him for a fourth-round pick in the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• LB Oren Burks: Burks reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Bengals worth $5 million. That is probably not enough money for Burks to qualify for the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• RB Kenny Gainwell: Gainwell signed a one-year contract with the Steelers worth $1.79 million. That is not enough to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• CB Darius Slay: Slay reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Steelers worth $10 million, however he will not count toward the comp pick formula because he was released by the Eagles. (STORY HERE)
• RG Mekhi Becton: Becton signed a two-year deal with the Chargers reportedly worth $20 million. That should qualify him for a fifth-round pick in the compensatory pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• WR Parris Campbell: Campbell reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys. That should only be a veteran minimum contract. (STORY HERE)
• OT Fred Johnson: Johnson is signing with the Jaguars. The financials aren't known yet, which usually means it's a low-cost contract, but if there's a team that consistently gives dumb contracts to marginal players it's the Jags. We'll update when we have some figures. (STORY HERE)
• CB Avonte Maddox: Maddox signed with the Lions. Financials are presently unavailable, but it's highly unlikely that he signed a deal as a backup defensive back that will approach comp pick qualifying levels. (STORY HERE)
• RB A.J. Dillon: The financials of Dillon's deal with the Eagles are not yet known, but it's extremely unlikely that he earned enough money to qualify toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Josh Uche: Uche signed for $1.75 million, per Mike Garafolo. That is not enough to count toward the comp pick formula.. (STORY HERE)
• TE Harrison Bryant: Bryant signed a one-year reportedly worth "up to $2 million." That's not enough to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• CB Adoree' Jackson: Jackson reportedly signed a one-year deal worth $2.5 million. That's not enough to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• LS Charley Hughlett: Hughlett's one-year deal is worth $1.4 million. That's not enough to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• TE Kylen Granson: Granson signed a one-year deal. If Bryant (the other TE signing above) only got "up to $2 million," Granson certainly didn't earn enough to qualify for the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• RB/RS Avery Williams: Williams hasn't gotten a carry since 2022 and was pretty much just a return specialist for the Falcons in 2024. No way he got enough money to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Patrick Johnson: Johnson had 4 tackles for the Giants last season. He surely came back on a minimum deal. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Azeez Ojulari: Ojulari signed a one-year deal reportedly worth $4 million. If it's truly a $4 million deal — and maybe it's not because the national media folks will report whatever the agent tells them — that should count toward the compensatory pick formula at the seventh-round level, which would cancel out the sixth-round pick gained for the loss of Isaiah Rodgers. I'll be making an inquiry with the team Tuesday for further clarity. (STORY HERE)
