As NFL free agency unwinds over the next couple of weeks, we'll be covering each of the Philadelphia Eagles' outside signings, re-signings, retirements, departing players, and other noteworthy developments in great detail. This page will serve as overview of what the Birds do, as they do it, with links to each individual story that we publish. Bookmark 🔖, please.
• RB A.J. Dillon: Dillon is one of the biggest running backs in the NFL at 6'0, 247, but he missed the entire 2024 season with a neck injury. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Josh Uche: Uche was a Patriots second-round pick in 2020. He had one great season in 2022, when he racked up 11.5 sacks, but has otherwise had disappointing production. (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 is an experienced eight-year vet who can give Kelee Ringo competition for the CB3 job. (STORY HERE)
• LS Charley Hughlett: It seems the Rick Lovato era is over in Philly. (STORY HERE)
• TE Kylen Granson: Granson is a short, athletic tight end who contributes on special teams and has played some fullback. (STORY HERE)
• RB/RS Avery Williams: Williams was a cornerback who converted to running back, but is really just more of a return specialist. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Patrick Johnson: Johnson didn't make the Eagles' 53-man roster out of camp last year, and was claimed by the Giants. He missed out on the Super Bowl run, but is back. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Azeez Ojulari: Ojulari had a frustrating first four seasons with the Giants while battling injuries, but he has been productive when he has been on the field and he's still only 24 years old. (STORY HERE)
• LB Zack Baun: The Eagles made Baun a priority, as he is back in Philly on a three-year deal worth $51 million. (STORY HERE)
• RB Saquon Barkley: Barkley still had two years remaining on the contract he signed with the Eagles last offseason, but the team rewarded him with a more lucrative deal after he had one of the best seasons by a running back in NFL history. (STORY HERE)
• RT Lane Johnson: Johnson was previously signed through the 2026 season. He is now signed through 2027. (STORY HERE)
• The Eagles traded QB Kenny Pickett to the Browns for a fifth-round pick (originally held by the Lions) and QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson. (STORY HERE)
• The Eagles traded S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Texans for OL Kenyon Green and a 2026 fifth-round pick. (STORY HERE)
• CB Darius Slay: The Eagles reportedly will release the 34-year old Slay with a June 1 designation. Update: He signed with the Steelers. (STORY HERE)
• S James Bradberry: The Eagles reportedly will release Bradberry with a June 1 designation. (STORY HERE)
• iOL Nick Gates: With Brandon Graham returning from IR prior to the Super Bowl, the Eagles placed Gates on IR and then released him after the parade.

• CB Darius Slay: See above.
• RG Mekhi Becton: Becton signed a two-year deal with the Chargers, where he will remain at guard. (STORY HERE)
• WR Parris Campbell: The Cowboys missed out on Cooper Kupp, so they pivoted to... Parris Campbell? (STORY HERE)
• OT Fred Johnson: Johnson has served as the Eagles' swing tackle the last two seasons, and he started six games in 2024. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Brandon Graham: As expected, Graham is retiring after 15 NFL seasons. (STORY HERE)
• WR/RS Britain Covey: The Eagles non-tendered Covey, a restricted free agent. He will now become an unrestricted free agent, free to sign with any team. (STORY HERE)
