2025 NFL offseason: Biggest surprise players on each team - ESPN
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: WR Danny Gray. The 26-year-old wideout made an impression during the OTA and minicamp practices open to reporters, using his 4.33 speed to stretch the field and accelerate past defenders on catches over the middle. Gray was a third-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2022. He dealt with some injuries and tallied just one reception during his time in San Francisco. He was waived by the Niners in August and signed with the Eagles’ practice squad days later. Philadelphia has one of the top receiving duos in the league in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but there are some roster spots up for grabs lower on the depth chart. Gray will be competing with players like Ainias Smith, Avery Williams and Terrace Marshall during training camp.
Jalen Carter contract projection: Eagles DT could be highest-paid ever - BGN
This contract would immediately place Jalen Carter in second among interior defensive linemen in all major categories, vaulting him ahead of Christian Wilkins ($27.5 million APY, $57.5 million guaranteed) and former teammate Milton Williams ($26 million APY, $51 million guaranteed). While it wouldn’t match Chris Jones APY, it would give Carter a significantly higher amount of guaranteed money ($72 million vs $60 million) and a much higher percentage of guarantees (60% vs 37.8%). Given Howie Roseman’s tendencies, I’d expect this contract to mirror other recent Eagles extensions. The base salary will be placed at the lowest amount possible, with the vast majority of the contract paid out through signing and option bonuses. I won’t even attempt to predict exactly how Roseman will shape the deal in terms of actual dollar amounts of the individual bonuses or the number of void years. I do think it’s safe to predict that Carter’s deal is likely to be heavily backloaded and contain at least a couple void years to continue spreading out the cap hit from the signing and option bonuses.
10 reasons the Eagles can repeat as Super Bowl champs - PhillyVoice
1) Jalen Hurts is a big game player: There’s a belief among some in the NFL community that the Eagles’ roster was so loaded last season that all Jalen Hurts needed to do was not mess it all up, and go along for the ride. There is certainly some truth to the notion that Hurts had as ideal a situation as any quarterback could ever ask for. 1) He played behind the best offensive line in the NFL. 2) He had the best player in the NFL last season (Saquon Barkley) standing next to him in the backfield. 3) He was throwing to one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, plus a very good tight end in Dallas Goedert. 4) On the other side of the ball, the Eagles had the No. 1...
