Out of all the NFC East teams, the Eagles have been the hardest hit in terms of losing players in free agency, they’ve starters on both sides of the football and that is something that can really hurt them in 2024. The amount of major contributors they’ve lost is going to be tough to recover from in just one offseason but the Eagles were able to keep some of their free agents with probably the most important being center Travis Kelce. Their front office knew this was coming but with quarterback Jalen Hurts contract on the horizon they’ve been a bit shy about spending money.

Howie Roseman has done an excellent job of keeping this team competitive regardless of many players they’ve lost in the past and he’s been trying to fill holes on the defensive side of the football in free agency, and it now looks like he’s looking to find more players in the draft. But with holes are running back, offensive guard, linebacker, safety, and defensive tackle he’s going to have a lot of work to do in order to get quality players at all of those positions.

Free Agency Grade: B- (Winner)
