Eagles' 70-player roster as offseason program gets underway and ahead of 2025 NFL draft

The first and second waves of NFL free agency are over, and the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles made moves to strengthen some positions and fill pressing roster needs. Nick Sirianni's team will return to the NovaCare Complex this morning to begin the nine-week off-season workouts program and OTAs. The Eagles' offense will look the same: Mekhi Becton is the only starter who departed, and Kenneth Gainwell, a key contributor, departed during the first wave of NFL free agency.

Dallas Goedert could depart via trade, but Philadelphia will still be explosive and among the league's most efficient and dominant offensive units.The defense has undergone an overhaul after defensive tackle Milton Williams (New England), Josh Sweat (Arizona), cornerback Darius Slay (Pittsburgh), cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (Minnesota), and linebacker Oren Burks (Cincinnati) all departed via free agency. The Eagles also traded away safety C.



J. Gardner-Johnson, who was third in the NFL with six interceptions last season, and backup quarterback Kenny Pickett.With the NFL draft just days away and a slew of moves made since early March, the roster looks different than it did at this time last season.

Here's a look at where the Eagles roster stands ahead of off-season workouts and the NFL draft. QB --3Jalen HurtsTanner McKee Dorian Thompson-Robinson Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and he'll enter 2025 with his fourth offensive coordinator in five years with the Eagles. After Kenny Pickett was traded to Cleveland, Tanner McKee is the unquestioned backup quarterback, while Dorian Thompson-Robinson offers an athletic option at No.

DillonWill ShipleyLew NicholsTyrion Davis-PriceIn his debut season with Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press and finished as a finalist for Most Valuable Player. Philadelphia signed former Packers running back A.J.

Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon sat out 2024 but offers a physical contrast to Barkley's elite athleticism. Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back.

FB -1Ben VanSumerenThe former Michigan State linebacker is a special-teams standout who will transition full-time to the fullback position. WR --8A.J.

BrownElijah CooksJahan DotsonDanny GrayTerrace Marshall Jr. Ainias SmithDeVonta Smith Johnny WilsonDespite missing three games due to injury, A.J.

Brown led the team with 1,079 receiving yards. He also ranked 1st in receiving average (16.1) (min.

60 catches) and 3rd in receiving yards per game (83.0) (min. 13 games), behind Ja’Marr Chase (100.

5) and Justin Jefferson (90.2). DeVonta Smith posted a career-high 8 TDs in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard TD in Super Bowl LIX.

During the run to the Super Bowl, he became the franchise’s all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595). Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards.

Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J.

Brown and DeVonta Smith. Dotson improved with time and had his most impactful game of the season during the Eagles' win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, with two catches for 42 yards on three targets. The 2022 first-round pick could have an increased role for the 2025 season if Philadelphia moves on from Goedert.

Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal and offers elite athleticism from the slot. TE --7Dallas GoedertGrant CalcaterraKylen GransonHarrison BryantEJ JenkinsNick MuseCameron LatuGoedert is the player to watch with rumors of a potential trade for the 30-year-old star tight end. Philadelphia could target a talented tight end in the second or third round of this weekends draft.

It'll be a tough decision after Goedert (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. Philadelphia has Grant Calcaterra as the backup, signing Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant.OL --11Jordan Mailata Landon DickersonCam JurgensKenyon GreenLane JohnsonTyler Steen Brett Toth Darian KinnardLaekin VakalahiKendall LammTrevor KeeganAccording to PFF, Jordan Mailata (96.

9) led the entire NFL in offensive and run-blocking grades (94.9). In addition, Mailata ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 91.

7 pass-blocking grade, behind Tristan Wirfs (93.7). The Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Texans for C.

J. Gardner-Johnson, and while he's a former first-round pick, the former Texas A&M star was the 76th highest-graded guard in the NFL out of 77 candidates, according to PFF.Former Alabama offensive tackle and third-round pick Tyler Steen was slightly better, landing at 75th with a 40.

7 grade from PFF. There will be competition for this spot, and it's a noticeable downgrade after Mekhi Becton's exit. Lane Johnson ranked 1st among NFL RTs in PFF pass-blocking grade (88.

1), pressure percentage (2.2%), and knockdown percentage (0.2%).

He allowed zero sacks and 1 QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps.DT -- 6Byron YoungMoro OjomoGabe HallJordan DavisJalen CarterThomas Booker During the regular season, Jalen Carter was 4th among interior DL with an 81.5 PFF pass-rush grade, behind Chris Jones (91.

Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances.Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row, but he logged 122 fewer defensive snaps and ceded snaps to second-year defensive lineman Moro Ojomo.

Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances. Ojomo finished the 2024 season with 20 tackles (six solo) in 17 regular-season games.

Ojomo saw a significant increase in workload in his second season with the Eagles, playing 370 defensive snaps and 70 snaps on special teams while appearing in all 17 of the team's regular-season games. Ojomo will be a starter, with Milton Williams departing.Edge Rusher --7Bryce HuffKJ HenryJalyx HuntPatrick JohnsonAzeez OjulariNolan Smith Jr.

Josh Uche We're predicting Hunt will get the first shot at replacing Josh Sweat despite Josh Uche getting signed. Hunt finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games.

Former Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari is another explosive player to watch. LB -- 5Zack BaunNakobe DeanOchaun MathisDallas GantJeremiah Trotter Jr. Baun is a Defensive Player of the Year finalist and All-Pro, while Trotter Jr.

should get the first shot at replacing the injured Nakobe Dean. Baun was PFF's highest-graded LB (90.1) in the regular season, producing 150 tackles and 5 FFs (2nd in the NFL, behind T.

J. Watt – 6). In the playoffs, Baun became the second NFL LB since 1991 to generate takeaways in each of their first four career postseason starts (Devin White in 2020), which included an INT of Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX.

CB -- 8A.J. WoodsQuinyon MitchellCooper DeJeanTariq Castro-FieldsKelee RingoEli RicksParry NickersonAdoree' JacksonKelee Ringo should get the first opportunity to replace the departed Darius Slay, while Adoree Jackson has history as a starting cornerback in the NFC East.

Mitchell and DeJean are stars and should be even more productive in 2025.
