The Philadelphia Eagles hosted seven free agents for try outs on Monday, according to the NFL’s official personnel notice.
The names:
- LB Jamin Davis
- EDGE Isaiah Foskey
- OG LaDarius Henderson
- CB Mike Hilton
- WR K.J. Osborn
- OT Kadeem Telfort
- WR Quez Watkins
This news doesn’t necessarily mean any signings are imminent. The Eagles could merely be doing due diligence. The pro personnel department keeps an updated list of the top available free agents at every position and these try outs help to give them more information.
Some quick notes on these players:
- Davis was the Washington Commanders’ first-round pick (No. 19 overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft. He clearly turned out to be a bust for them. After being released in October 2024, he spent some time with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Jets. The Eagles love themselves former first-round picks.
- Foskey also boasts draft pedigree as a 2023 second-round pick (No. 40 overall). He has since signed with the Cincinnati Bengals, however.
- Henderson has experience at both left tackle and left guard. He played for the national champions (Michigan) in 2023.
- We previously wrote about Hilton on Monday. The Eagles could conceivably sign him to play nickel cornerback if they want to shift Cooper DeJean to the outside. Which they shouldn’t be in a rush to do but might eventually have to.
- Osborn has logged 34 starts in 67 career games played. He was fairly productive for the Minnesota Vikings before falling off last season. Has some limited punt and kick returning experience but didn’t perform well in either category.
- Telfort is a 6’7”, 322 pound blocker who attended four different colleges before signing with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2023. The 26-year-old has played just 23 career snaps on offense.
- Oh, hey, Quez Watkins! There was once hope that Watkins could be a solid starting wide receiver for the Eagles but his struggles led to the Birds not re-signing him after his rookie contract expired. He then failed to catch on in stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.
