The Eagles’ linebacker didn’t want to go anywhere else in free agency, and was able to work with the organization to get a new deal done as quickly as possible.

The Eagles made it a point of emphasis to re-sign Zack Baun before the linebacker hit free agency, and the feeling was mutual. Baun spoke to reporters after signing his new deal and explained how Philly was where he wanted to be in 2025 and beyond.

“I really actually didn’t want to leave. What we built here, the culture here. Honestly, now that I’m thinking about it, I’m just...

Yes, Jalen Carter’s extension will be over $40M a year… and worth it - Philly Cover Corner
Most view Chris Jones as the best DT in the league and he is statistically, but Carter is right with him. Both face double-team rates above 70%, well ahead of the other top contract guys, and both still produce at a silly rate. Carter is first in forced fumbles, batted passes, and TFLs, second in hits and hurries, a near 13% win rate and over 10% pressure rate....

College football is churning out incredible wide receiver prospects every year. Three rookie receivers (and four rookies total) had over 1,000 receiving yards last year. At least one rookie wide receiver has passed that benchmark in every season since 2019. It’s almost a given that these guys can come into the NFL and immediately make a difference. The 2025 NFL Draft class has some Day 1 game changers that will go very high and a few mid round gems who will contribute early in their careers. For the Eagles, it’s doubtful they will target a receiver in the first round,...

One of the newest Eagles’ additions put pen to paper in Philly and then spoke to reporters about his decision.

The Eagles added veteran CB Adoree’ Jackson to the secondary, and he spoke to reporters after arriving to Philly to sign his new contract.

He considered signing with the Eagles the last time he hit free agency coming out of Tennessee, but explained that he chose the Giants because of the familiarity with so many players and staff. Jackson named guys like Saquon Barkley and James Bradberry as reasons he signed with New York, but noted he didn’t talk to...

2025 NFL free agency signings: Ranking best deals, contracts - ESPN
1. Linebacker Zack Baun re-signs with the Eagles. The deal: Three years, $51 million ($34 million guaranteed). The Eagles signing Baun to a one-year, $1.6 million deal, converting him to an off-ball linebacker and then getting a near-Defensive Player of the Year performance, is one of the best transactions and development coaching jobs you’ll see in the NFL. Now it’s time for the Eagles to pay market rate (or in this case, perhaps less)...

The quarterback situation in New York feels anything but settled.

The New York Giants missed out on Matthew Stafford early in free agency, but did finally sign a second quarterback to join Tommy DeVito in the QB room, veteran Jameis Winston. He did enough last year in Cleveland to earn a two-year, $8 million contract with the NFC East team, but reports suggest he’s still not their top target.

Aaron Rodgers just took his first free agency visit on Friday with the Steelers, but after six hours, didn’t sign a deal before leaving. Now, the Giants will continue their pursuit...

Lots of Philly alumni are on the move as free agency gets underway this offseeason.

There’s a lot of news to keep track of as the Philadelphia Eagles start making offseason moves, but aside from saying goodbye to guys from the Super Bowl LIX winning team, there are also a lot of former players on the move, too.

Here are some of the Philly alumni who are on their way to new teams in 2025, and some that have been able to re-sign with their 2024 squad.

• After three years in Miami, wide receiver River Cracraft is signing...

Philadelphia’s 2018 draft pick is heading back to his hometown.

Avonte Maddox is leaving the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency to sign a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to Maddox’s partner’s Instagram story.

Maddox, who actually has a Lions tattoo on his arm, is returning to his hometown of Detroit.

Maddox’s departure from the Eagles certainly comes as no surprise.

REVIEW: Maddox began the season as the Eagles’ nickel cornerback. Teams clearly picked on him from the jump, which eventually led to DeJean replacing him in the slot. Maddox then saw some occasional snaps as the dime...

Philadelphia is clearly interested in adding another student to Jeff Stoutland University.

It’s officially Philadelphia Eagles pre-draft visit tracker season.

So far, the Birds are said to be hosting multiple offensive linemen at the NovaCare Complex ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft:

• Oregon OT Josh Conerly Jr. (via James Crepea)
• Purdue OT Marcus Mbow (via himself)
• NC State OT Anthony Belton (via himself)
• Iowa State OT Jalen Travis (via Zach Berman)

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

JOSH CONERLY JR.

Conerly is the No. 34 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus...

How would you grade this projection?

Welcome to this year’s Mock Simulation Series! Each week, I will run a simulation of the 2025 NFL Draft for the Philadelphia Eagles using the Pro Football Focus Draft Simulator.

Round 1, Pick 32 (for the Super Bowl Winner): Jalon Walker, Linebacker/Edge Defender, Georgia

Okay, I am calling it. After much internal struggle, Jalon Walker is my guy in this draft. And he needs to be an Eagle. Vic Fangio can use him as a defensive multi-tool that can play off-ball and the drop onto the line of scrimmage in obvious passing situations....

Five players who make sense for the Eagles during the second wave of free agency - PhillyVoice
Calais Campbell (38), DT, Dolphins (6’8, 307). Campbell is 38 years old, but still productive. He had 36 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2022 with Baltimore, 56 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2023 with Atlanta, and 52 tackles and 5 sacks with Miami in 2024. For what it’s worth, PFF had Campbell graded as the 7th best defensive lineman in the NFL last season, and Dolphins fans seemed...

Can’t go wrong if you don’t go

We have reached the “everyone worth signing has signed” portion of free agency, which means it is a good time to recap moves around the division.

Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles

Notable additions: G Kenyon Green, CB Adoree’ Jackson, DE Azeez Ojulari

Notable losses: Mekhi Becton, Brandon Graham, CJ Gardner Johnson, Isaiah Rodgers, Darius Slay, Josh Sweat, Milton Williams

The Eagles lost four starters and three high level backups/rotation players. They acquired just one player who played in more than half his team’s snaps last year, and only two others played more...
