When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2025, they have not one, not two, but four pending free agents who are set to be in heavy demand around the NFL when free agency opens up: Milton Williams, Zack Baun, Josh Sweat, and Mechi Becton.
Some like Baun, who became an All-Pro during his first-ever season as an inside linebacker under Vic Fangio. Others like Becton for his scheme versatility as a hybrid guard/tackle. And others still like Sweat or Williams, who are both among the best rushers in the NFL at their respective positions, depending on what a potential NFL team could need on their roster.
But which of the four players is the “best” free agent option in this year’s class? Well, in the opinion of NFL Daily host Gregg Rosenthal, the best Eagles free agent and top defensive player in the 2025 NFL free agent class is none other than Williams, the inside-out pass rusher who has never logged 50 percent of the team’s defensive snaps as a pro. Why? Well, because he believes Williams was the best defensive player in the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl and deserves to be paid accordingly.
While some may quibble with the decision to place Williams first and suggest he played better than Jalen Carter, fans didn’t have to wait long for the next Eagle to make it on the list, with Baun coming in two spots later at pick number five.
