PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday made their last batch of cuts to finalize their roster ahead of the season opener next Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys.
What we know:
The Eagles will remain largely the same on the offensive side of the ball, although new Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo will be the team's new play caller after Kellen Moore took the head coaching job in New Orleans.
The defense will look slightly different this year, with the departures of key defensive playmakers like DE Josh Sweat, DT Milton Williams, and cornerbacks Darius Slay and Isiah Rodgers.
The Eagles added Alabama's standout linebacker Jihaad Campbell with the 31st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft last April, and continued to shore up their defense by selecting Safety Andrew Mukuba, DT Ty Robinson, CB Mac McWilliams and LB Smael Mondon with their next four picks.
Perhaps the Eagles' biggest move of the offseason happened less than a month after the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Philadelphia gave running back Saquon Barkley a two-year, $41.2M contract extension following his record-breaking first season with the Eagles.
Philadelphia also brought back breakout linebacker Zack Baun, who was a finalist for the 2025 Defensive Player of the Year award.
