The first wave of the 2023 NFL free agency process came and went, with the Eagles quietly retooling their roster by restocking homegrown talent.
At the start of the new league year, Philadelphia had eight key contributors land lucrative deals elsewhere on the open market.
The Eagles retained six free agents while adding three new players, including former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota who reached an agreement on a one-year, $5 million deal worth up to $8 million.
Howie Roseman addressed the defense by adding safeties Justin Evans and Terrell Edmunds on one-year deals.
The Eagles’ GM put on a clinic during the NFL draft, landing three more Georgia Bulldogs, a hybrid safety, and more offensive line talent.
With undrafted rookies and select invites set to gather for a rookie minicamp, here’s an updated look at Philadelphia’s roster as the team works to get up to 90 players for training camp.
