Bold opening: The Eagles are accelerating their off-season plan now, not waiting for free agency to officially begin, and they’re already shaping the 2026 roster with urgency.
Eagles Free Agency Tracker: Rumors, Reports, and Signings
Mar 3, 2026, 12:47 AM UTC
Free agency in the NFL officially kicks off on March 11, but Philadelphia isn’t letting that delay their maneuvering. After a disappointing finish to the 2025 season, 20 Eagles players entered free agency. Howie Roseman has a history of re-signing core players before they reach the open market, yet this year’s decisions will be tougher given salary-cap considerations and the long-term cost of sustaining a young, dominant defense.
On the bright side, there’s good news on the offensive line. Lane Johnson has announced his return for what would be his 14th season with the team, and Landon Dickerson is expected to come back as well—despite offseason reports that both players had contemplated retirement. This allowed the Eagles to focus on other gaps without overhauling the trench work, letting them lean on established Pro Bowlers while they draft developing talent behind them.
There’s still a lot of work ahead to complete Philadelphia’s roster. Among the 20 free agents, the team could lose three of their four tight ends, their punter, and two starting safeties. Below are the latest rumors and reports circulating around Howie Roseman’s plan, with more updates to come:
