Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
2026 NFL free agency updates: Signings, trades, rumors – ESPN
The Philadelphia Eagles are worth watching for reasons beyond A.J. Brown. Philly is asking for a steep price for Brown — one executive said it wants a first- and second-round pick for him. Perhaps that changes. New England is in the mix. While I never sensed Philly heavily pursued Crosby, the Eagles are active in the pass-rush market. People inside the league believe Philly is attempting to re-sign Phillips to a deal that would pay him well above $20 million per year. But Phillips will have a strong market if he chooses to enter free agency. As a contingency, the Eagles are believed to have inquired about Minnesota’s Jonathan Greenard. The Vikings have received many inquiries on Greenard, who will be far cheaper to acquire than Crosby. A Day 2 pick probably gets a deal done. But complicating matters is Greenard’s contract. Teams say he wants a new deal. His current contract is set to pay him $38 million over the next two years. Boye Mafe is also considered a viable edge option if the Phillips deal doesn’t materialize. With defensive tackle Jordan Davis now extended, Philly also must weigh whether to extend Jalen Carter, who is eligible for a new deal. I’m told Philly has received trade calls on Carter.

Jalen Carter’s name was mentioned as part of some trade discussions. This may or may not mean anything. First, 31 other teams can call and ask about a player. That doesn’t mean he’s being shopped. The other thing to remember is that the Eagles get talked about a lot because of Howie’s reputation as a deal-maker. Not every report that comes out is true. Agents and other teams leak info to help create a market at times. It is possible that the Eagles talked to other teams about Carter. If someone made a huge offer, Howie might be tempted. You’d rather not give up a special DT, but economics are a factor. The Eagles will have to extend Carter sometime soon. And he won’t be cheap. Always consider your options.
Roob’s Observations: Why Vegas thinks Eagles are a legit Super Bowl contender – NBCSP
Jalen Carter must be pretty happy today and not just because his college teammate and best friend Jordan Davis got $26 million per year. But because if Davis is worth $26 million per year, Carter must be worth well north of $30 million per year. Davis may have had a better 2025 than Carter, but long-term Carter has unlimited upside and everybody in the organization expects his career to be more like 2024 than 2025, when he was slowed by injuries and conditioning issues. But the player we saw in 2024 is as unstoppable as any interior lineman in the league. Chris Jones is at $31.75 million, and I would expect Carter to top that as soon as Howie gets around to signing him. That will give the Eagles two of the four-highest-paid intrior linemen in NFL history and it will mean Roseman drafted three of the four-highest-paid interior linemen in history – Davis, Carter and Milton Williams. Davis deserves so much credit for changing everything about his lifestyle, training, diet, sleep in order to become the player the Eagles expected when they made him the 13th pick in 2022. I’m not sure how the Eagles are going to be able to re-sign Moro Ojomo once Davis and Carter are signed. But that’s an issue for next year. For at least 2026, the Eagles are going to have one hell of a dominating interior line rotation.
Jordan Davis, Eagles reportedly agree to 3-year contract extension – BGN
An emerging leader on the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense will be staying in Philly for years to come. Jordan Davis and the team have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $78 million with $65 million guaranteed, according to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Davis is now the highest-paid nose tackle in league history. The annual value of his new money ($26 million per year) puts him tied — with old friend Milton Williams — for second-most among NFL interior defenders. Only Chris Jones earns more on a yearly basis. If you factor in Davis was already set to make about $13 million in 2026, his next four years average out to $22.75 million annually, which ranks as the 10th-highest annual interior defender rate.
Eagles ‘stay or go’ fan voting results – PhillyVoice
JimmySays: Despite there being no question at all that he will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback in 2026, Hurts dipped below 80 percent barely one year removed from earning Super Bowl MVP honors. […] JimmySays: Unsurprisingly, DeVonta came in at roughly 99 percent. On the other hand, a lot of readers either don’t want Brown back, or think he won’t be back.
Ideal ‘bust the budget’ free agency and trade predictions for the Cowboys – Blogging The Boys
Sign LB Nakobe Dean. Contract projection via The Athletic: 4 years, $40 million. Due to their time together with the Philadelphia Eagles, Nakobe Dean is a logical linebacker target for the Cowboys in free agency. Dean’s familiarity with Parker and his defensive scheme can help the transition go more smoothly and quickly. He does come with some red flags though. His well documented injury history since entering the league is a pretty significant concern. While reuniting with Parker makes him an ideal fit, the Cowboys may have to draft a LB early capable of competing for the starting job and for insurance purposes.
Commanders need to go big or go home in free agency – defensive edition – Hogs Haven
Jaelan Phillips (26): Phillips is another former first-rounder who was traded during the 2025 season from Miami to Philadelphia. He’s battled injury throughout his career, but when healthy, he has the traits to put it all together. Like Oweh, he has the desired athletic profile Peters and Quinn desire. Also like Oweh, he won’t come cheap, but he could be a great reclamation project for a defense lacking playmakers.
NFL rumors for Cowboys, Commanders, Alec Pierce suitors, and more on brink of free agent frenzy – SB Nation
Commanders expected to be active. After making a surprising run to the NFC Championship Game two seasons ago, the Washington Commanders crashed back to Earth a year ago. Jayden Daniels, coming off a tremendous rookie season, battled injuries throughout the year and the Commanders limped to a 5-12 finish. But Washington has the fourth-most cap space in the league (more than $80 million in effective cap space according to Over the Cap) and with several needs to address, the Commanders are going to be active over the next few days. Two positions at the top of their list are wide receiver and running back, with Rico Dowdle and Mike Evans named as potential targets for the Commanders in the coming hours.
5 NY Giants thoughts on the eve of NFL free agency – Big Blue View
The Baltimore sources I have contacted think it’s “50-50” that Linderbaum stays with the Ravens. Long-time NFL columnist Gary Myers said over the weekend he has been told Linderbaum could be “much too expensive” for the Giants. Myers could be right. The Giants have released linebacker Bobby Okereke and offensive tackle James Hudson and gotten running back Devin Singletary to take a pay cut. At this point, though, Spotrac lists the Giants with $21.9 million in cap space applying the top-51 rule. That still isn’t really enough to play in the deep end of the free agency pool. I do expect more cap-clearing moves to come before Monday. If it isn’t Linderbaum, I do believe the Giants will sign at least one major free-agent offensive. lineman beyond making a strong effort to bring back right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor. Could that be a guard like Wyatt Teller, Dylan Parham, or Alijah Vera-Tucker? Right tackle Braden Smith if Eluemunor moves on? Your guess is as good as mine.
