Philadelphia Eagles free agents for 2024: Needs for the NFL draft, targets, and more as free agency draws closer
After missing out on the Super Bowl in 2023, the Philadelphia Eagles have some concern heading into the summer.
After winning their conference title the year before, the Eagles had great expectations for the 2023 campaign, especially after a successful draft and the return of some of their prospective free agents during the previous offseason. Philadelphia ultimately collapsed in the second half of the season, dropping its final four games and falling in the first round of the playoffs.
According to Over the Cap, the team’s available cap space as of this offseason places them in the bottom half of the league, despite the fact that just eight players who played more than 30% of the snaps will be eligible for unrestricted free agency.
In 2024, the Eagles ought to still be strong challengers. However, following a lackluster finish to the previous campaign, roster changes are anticipated due to the potential retirement of center Jason Kelce and a lack of present financial flexibility.
Here’s all you need to know about Philadelphia’s pre-offseason scenario.

Guyton, a fellow Sooners graduate who is already receiving coaching from Johnson and has the opportunity to learn more about the position while sitting behind the seasoned player, seems like a better long-term choice.”
