With training camp underway throughout the league, here’s a little update on some former Philadelphia Eagles and a look at who is on a new roster in 2025 — at least for training camp. This long list of names will surely dwindle as we approach roster cuts, but there are plenty of former Birds to keep an eye on.
Four members of the Eagles Super Bowl LII roster announced their retirements this offseason, including Jason Peters, Ronald Darby, Jordan Hicks, and Rodney McLeod.
Hicks and McLeod spent the last few years together in Cleveland under DC Jim Schwartz, and while McLeod announced his retirement earlier in the offseason, Hicks made the decision just after the start of training camp.
Another former Eagles announced his retirement as camp got underway, OG Nate Herbig, is hanging up his cleats after five seasons. He spent the entire 2024 season on the Steelers IR with a shoulder injury, and then signed with the Washington Commanders this spring.
The Browns said there’s a chance the team keeps four quarterbacks on the roster, and now they might not have a choice. Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring on Saturday and will be re-evaluated in a week. In the meantime, former Eagles QB Joe Flacco is leading the offense, and trying to help the team’s two rookies quarterbacks.
