Philadelphia Eagles early 53-man roster prediction

Philadelphia Eagles early 53-man roster prediction

Philadelphia is set to retool its roster after losing ten critical contributors on both sides of the football.

Howie Roseman adjusted in free agency, adding a replacement for just about every player that departed.

At the same time, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, and others can be counted as starters or key contributors waiting in the wings.

Not counting Josh Sills or Tyree Jackson, the Eagles have 68 players on their roster. If/when those two return, Philadelphia could have close to 70 players on the roster.

With a 90-man limit and six picks, the Eagles will likely add 14-20 players over the next few weeks (mostly from undrafted free agency).

Here’s the first 53-man roster projection of the offseason ahead of the NFL draft.
