The Philadelphia Eagles free agency plans may have just been leaked, as they could have interest in several big name players including Xavier McKinney, CJ Gardner-Johnson, Kamren Curl and more as the Eagles news just broke that the Eagles will be aggressive in trying to add star in their prime defensive players in NFL free agency. The Eagles also made a big roster change, as Howie Roseman cut Avonte Maddox, but are open to a return with Avonte Maddox for the right price. Also in Eagles free agency, they would try and bring back D’Andre Swift, but the Eagles are also interested in other running backs like Saquon Barkley and Austin Ekeler. Also the Eagles will be aggressive in trying to get more cornerbacks this offseason, whether it’s in Eagles free agency or the Eagles draft. Also Brandon Graham will be back with the Eagles and they also might trade for Justin Simmons. Plus Jason Kelce is going crazy in retirement. We discuss all that and more Eagles news as NFL free agency is just ahead!

All right so we just got a bunch of new updates on the Eagles just ahead of the start of NFL free agency as one Legend is reportedly returning for his farewell tour while another former Eagles potential return is heating up plus there are a bunch of rumors flying
Around about the Eagles Making a Splash move for one of these star safeties and on top of that there’s multiple new reports apparently leaking the Eagles big plans to aggressively go after some bigname defensive players in free agency I mean man things are about to get crazy
As free agency is almost here so we’re going to talk about all the latest news in this video today and we won’t waste any time let’s get straight into it so even though the legal tampering period doesn’t start for a few more days it seems the first Domino has already
Fallen for the Eagles INF fre agency as at least we know that one of the three eagles legends that were contemplating retirement this offseason will be back with Jake robotti of the Liberty line reporting that quote Eagles Legend Brandon Graham will return to the team in 20124 sources told the Liberty line
He will be back on a new contract and is not expected to hit the open market and then rabotti elaborated further saying quote earlier this offseason a source explained a liberty line that Brandon Graham would either retire or return to Philadelphia he will not be retired
Firing I’m told and he’s made that clear to Philadelphia brass Graham like he said after the season ended truly desires a farewell tour with the Eagles and if they take him back he’d come back the Eagles wanton him back and will retain him while no deal is officially
Agreed to the true expectation is he’ll return to Philadelphia and robot’s original tweet was also quote tweeted from Ian Rapaport who backed it up so safe to say that this report from rot is legit and really this is no surprise I mean BG even made it clear as the season
Came to an end as Jake had mentioned in that second tweet that he wanted to come back to the team this next your first farewell tour guy I want to when when you’re 12 13 years it be it’ll be my farewell it’ll be my farewell tour next year you
Know what I’m saying if the Eagles want me to do it one more time I would love to be here for another year um because I know we got something special and you know 15 my farewell tour I’ll be uh I’ll be done next year overall I love this I
Mean I love BG he’s obviously a legend and even though he’s not producing at the level that maybe he once was he still had his moments this past year where he was able to make make a big impact and they came in crucial moments of some of the Eagles bigger wins and
He’s obviously still an incredible leader one of the best the Eagles have and in losing Jason Kelce it’s just crucial to still have a guy like BG in the locker room so overall again I really like this and drop a like down below for Brandon Graham returning next
Season now in addition to this news confirming that BG is going to be back next year we got another huge update on the Eagles free agency plans today this one from Zack Burman saying quote look for the Eagles to be aggressive in free agency trying to add in their Prime
Defensive players to multi-year Deals and this is huge because we all know that the eagles need to do what they can to rebuild and retool that defense that last year was just one of the worst units in the NFL and we know Harry Roseman is very capable of lurring in
Some great players and signing them to good value deals and we also know that there are plenty of great options out there in free agency that have already first been linked to the Eagles and that also fit this spill of being in their Prime defensive players that the birds
Could potentially sign to Big contracts to keep them in Phil for a long time so this report just adds another level of validity to those other reports that were linking some of these star players to Philly and one of those reports obviously was talking about safety CJ Gardner Johnson and a potential reunion
With the eagles with the initial report from Tony Pauline saying that there’s quote a real chance of the Eagles bringing back chony and free agency and since then we got another update a few days back this time with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN mentioning a reunion as something that’s on his radar saying
Quote a CJ Gardner Johnson reunion in Philadelphia is on my radar the Eagles realized they missed The Talented safety in the secondary now CJ obviously fits the bill of a guy who’s in his prime as he’s just 26 years old and someone that they could get on a big multi-year
Contract and if you watch my video from Saturday you know that I would be a huge fan of bringing CJ back assuming that he could get past his animosity he apparently has towards Philly fans I mean I just think he’s a great player and he brings the kind of energy and
Attitude that this defense really really needs but what do you guys think now another guy that the Eagles have been linked to just ahead of free agency is star Broncos safety Justin Simmons but this situation is a lot different however because one Simmons doesn’t quite fit the mold of being one of those
In their Prime players as much as he’s 30 years old and he’s getting closer to the end of his career and he also isn’t a free agent on top of that he’s still under contract in Denver for one more season meaning that the Eagles would
Have to trade for him if they wish to add him to the team now based on reports it seems as if not only the Broncos are willing to trade him but the Eagles have a good amount of interest in making this move as well as a report came out saying
Quote Justin Simmons to the Eagles has some Buzz with a whole bunch of Z’s now I will say that I think Justin Simmons is a great player and he’d be a great addition to the Eagles defense especially since he played under Vic fangio for a while and he apparently
Enjoyed his time playing for Vic but honestly I’m not too crazy about the idea of them going out and making this trade because one you’d have to give up some Capital to get him obviously two he’s on the last year of his deal so it’s not a long-term solution at the
Safety position and three he’s on the older side so I just think that the Eagles would be much better off making a move to just sign a younger free agent that would also serve more as a long-term option maybe that’s CJ Gardner Johnson who again I would love him to
Return or maybe it’s someone else I mean there’s been rumors and reports linking the Eagles to some other star free agent safeties that are on the younger side Jake ratti had reported that the Eagles had some for of interest in Cameron curl not too long ago and I personally would
Really like him as a big free agent signing at the safety position I mean he’s just 24 years old and he’s just overall a really good safety he’s coming off a year where you had 115 tackles he’s also great against the Run he’s solid in pass coverage and he’s also a
Physical guy and he would fit pretty well into viig fangio scheme so again if the Eagles went and signed him I’d be pretty happy about it and then you also got Xavier mckenny from the Giants who I mean there was a good amount of speculation that the Giants may decide
To place the franchise tag on him turns out they decided not to do that and he will officially hit the open market and again this is another guy who should be a top Target for the Eagles maybe even the top Target I mean mckin is just 24
Years old he’s been a captain and he’s just a great overall Talent last year he put up 116 tackles along with a force fumble two fumble recoveries and three interceptions he also really doesn’t miss tackles I mean his Miss tackle percentage is only around 6% and again he’s just another physical safety that
Can stop the run he can cover and he’s going to be a playmaker in that secondary and a strong voice as well so I would really love mcken I think that the Eagles should make him one of their top Targets in fre agency and aggressively go after him and it seems
Like that could very well happen with Jake rabotti mentioning those three names that I just mentioned as realistic targets for the Eagles saying quote I can very confidently say that Eagles will be aggressive in the safety Market I reported the other day that they have a form of interest in Commander Cameron
Curl and they’ve been linked to CJ Garner Johnson Xavier mckeny is another name to watch Howie Roseman will be active so I’m personally really excited to see how this whole situation plays out and whether or not they decide to bring one of these three guys in I’d definitely be really really happy if
They do but what do you you guys think what safety should the Eagles bring in a free agency now the craziness does not stop there at safety because we have another report this time from Adam Kaplan saying that the Eagles will be very aggressive in going after players
At another defensive position this off season and that is a quarterback as he said that the Eagles will be aggressive in pouring resources in the cornerback this off season whether that be in free agency or the NFL draft now the Eagles have already went ahead and made a
Change of that position today by cutting slot cornerback ofon Maddox as Adam shefer reported quote more roster moves the Philadelphia Eagles are releasing quarterback of vonte Maddox after six seasons per sources he had a $9.6 million salary cap hit for 2024 the two sides will keep talking and are open to
A reunion now this was most likely just a move to save cap space as it saved an additional $2 million and Maddox did have a pretty big salary next year and with his injury history and just how unreliable he’s been in the past 2 years it definitely makes sense that maybe the
Eagles would want to consider other options or at the bare minimum knock that salary down a little bit now like shter said the two sides are open to a reunion but it would have to be on a cheaper salary now I for one think that
Mad is a really good player and I love the energy that he brings to the defense despite his small frame I mean this is a 5983 lb guy that can hit pretty hard so I really like what he’s brought to the team when he’s been on the field and I
Definitely like reunion just on a cheaper contract and also maybe you’d bring in someone else at the slot position to compete with him so you’re not so relying on them or maybe the Eagles think that someone they already have on the roster can provide that I
Mean I don’t really know but this is definitely an interesting move the one that also makes sense so what do you guys think about the Eagles cutting Maddox now getting back to that initial report there’s definitely a pretty good chance the Eagles try and make a splash
At cornerback this off season and the one strong free agent Market at corner has gotten a bit weaker with the top two guys both getting franchise tagged taking them off the open market and the best remaining guys consist of Kendall Fuller chobia Wu Stefon Gilmore and Kenny Moore and the Eagles could
Definitely go after some of these guys I mean I like some of these guys a lot actually Kenny Moore is a name that’s really interesting to me the problem is it’s just that all of them are I wouldn’t say old but they’re not quite as young as maybe you would hope the
Youngest guys are more an azier at 28 years old and sure there are other good options besides those guys but none that get me super super excited so I’m curious to see if the Eagles add a bigger name Corner in free agency I wouldn’t be mad if they did cuz they do
Got to do something of that position but it really wouldn’t surprise me if the place where they decided to really address the quarterback position is the NFL draft I mean there are plenty of options if they wanted to go that route you got quinan Mitchell who’s been
Linked to the Eagles a lot Cooper to jeene from Iowa you know the white Corner which is kind of funny there’s Nate Wiggins who just ran that extremely fast 42940 at the combine there’s Kool-Aid mckinstry and Andis rraw Jr I mean there’s a ton of options at corner
In this year’s draft it’s a pretty strong class for that position and the Eagles met with quite a few of these guys at the combine so I’ll be interested to see if they decide to go this route after all and it wouldn’t surprise me if they did I mean we’ll go
More in depth on some of these guys as we get closer to the draft so make sure you sub and turn on notifications so you don’t miss any of the Eagles coverage we got coming this off season but now getting back to some more free agency updates it’s Now official the Eagles
Decided not to use their franchise tag on anybody and that includes running back DeAndre Swift so he’s set to hit the open market while he reportedly draw a lot of interest from different teams and now if you’ve been following this channel you know that I want the Eagles
To resign DeAndre Swift pretty badly but if they don’t and Boston Scott and Rashad Penny also go elsewhere they’ll only have one running back in Kenny gainwell under contract now they’ve been linked to other bigname running backs on the free agent Market including saquin Barkley as their one of six teams named
As having legit interest in the Giant star running back since they declined to franchise tag him plus they’ve also been listed as the team with the second best odds to sign Austin Eckler but to me it just doesn’t make much sense to want to get either one of those two guys over
Swift I mean a leg zero was here last year he had a career year and he was a clear Difference Maker for the offense and pretty much every single time he touched the ball there was a chance he was going to make a big play plus Barkley and Eckler are potentially going
To be more expensive than Swift so I say just resign DeAndre he’s worth it Assuming he’s not going to get some crazy contract which I don’t think he will if he’s somewhere from that $6 to 8 million range I think there’s a decent chance that I personally would pull the
Trigger the question is would ho Roseman do that or not but what do you guys think and also just getting back to the biggest eels news that we’ve had all off season I mean now that Jason k is retired how do you think cam jorgens is
Going to do filling in at Center I mean I personally think that he’s going to be great so far during his career he’s allowed zero sacks and had zero penalties and he was also handpicked by Kelsey himself to be his replacement so I’m excited to see what he’s going to do
Obviously he’s probably not going to I mean no let me rephrase that he’s not going to be as good as Kelsey that’s just impossible to live up to and the Eagles obviously are really just going to miss Jason’s leadership but I think cam is going to do about as good a job
As we can ask for but that being said again I’m really just going to miss Jason I mean he was my favorite player and he was was just everything this organization and City could have ever asked for there is a reason there’s been an outpouring of support since he
Announced his retirement whether it be from fans or fellow players or the Eagles organization or even other teams I mean heck the Cleveland Cavaliers honored Jason Kelce last night at their game because he’s from their Hometown to Cleveland and it’s because he’s just overall so loved for being a great
Player leader and person I mean you can see that in the story that came out yesterday about how Jason let his longtime trainer wrap his ankles one last time for his retirement press conference because he wasn’t able to do it for Kelsey’s last game in Tampa because he was going through
Chemotherapy you also hear that in the story from a veteran that called into WIP saying that when he was going through PTSD and in his darkest time post combat Jason reached out and offered him his support now with Jason um I’m a veteran a combat veteran and
I’ve seen a lot and done a lot and I was going through some stuff I got I got hit with covid and I never had any PTSD nothing like that I’d always been able to handle that just like kind of compartmentalize it and never really
Worried about it I got Co in November 22 and it triggered something in my head and I end up being out of work 10 weeks staring at the wall um reliving kill shots it was just horrible horrible um worst lowest time of my life and I evidently I posted something on Jason’s
Facebook page and uh he called me up he reached out he text me up and like brother you okay you need somebody to talk to wow wow wow that is a wow I mean that oh he’s been my favorite player um since his second year in the league I’ve about
His jersey um just this one it’s great for him but man man you got to love and respect Jason Kelce man I mean what a Class Act what a great player what a great person and a perfect representation of what a Philly athlete should be and now he
Deserves to enjoy his retirement which he kicked off with the bang Jason Kelsey welcome to New Height Do that with never change Jason I can’t wait to keep watching the podcast and just see what you do as you move on in your post football life now if you don’t want to miss any Eagles coverage in the craziness of free agency make sure you subscribe and also really importantly

Give me your predictions for Eagles free agency down below! ⬇
Bring Danielle Hunter to Philly, Howie!!!!
Please get Barkely. Please.
If we can get Xavier McKinney and also were able to get Simmons for a mid rounder…
When it comes to CB, don’t forget we have the suspended Isaiah Rodgers on the roster. He’s solid, just needs to stop gambling on football lol and if we grabbed Gilmore to go opposite of him and we possibly could get Worthy possibly in the late second or even third.
I’d also not like to lose Maddox, he’s solid, just needs to stay healthy.
As far as RBs, there are quite a few available. I like Singletary behind our O-line, but keeping Swift or possibly getting Saquon would all dope.
We are also a team that’s really good at finding the solid UDFAs.
Seems like everyone wants swift back I hope we really do resign him. He’s just as good if not better than any other RB in the market and he has chemistry with the offense it’s always good to keep familiar faces together
Kelce is DEFINITELY on the Mt. Rushmore of Philadelphia sports legends!
Calling it now. Brandon Graham fairwell tour and superbowl win
Bg gotta chill with that farewell tour bs. Fuk he think he the Beatles ? That’s the problem with the organization now. We pay old players for too long. But let the young ones walk. Kept all the old guys this year but let the young ones walk last year. But still paid the old guys top money. If it ain’t for the vet minimum I’ll let him walk. He made 10 mil last year could have used that on a safety. Farewell tour lol that just sounds weird for a football player to say that. Kelce never said that one time. Love what u did in the SB we won BG but it’s time to move on. New blood new team new regime.
McKinley and CJ should be the new Eagles safety’s. Then draft a stud corner with the 22nd pick
Who's REALLY going to be the new center? 🤔 I know some guys (and girls) who hate the Birds but they all LOVE Jason Kelce.
Our secondary has really sucked in recent years. Maddox has to go. He's too short to reach up and defend.
I'd save my money for the draft.
DO NOT TRADE SWIFT.
I just can’t see any way that Howie signs Swift. It’s not what winning teams are doing. Look around the NFL. It’s quite honestly stupid to do it if you judge it by the winning teams. Point me to a team that’s won anything with big money at the RB position. I’m trying to think of one. Bye bye Swift. 👋
Spammed the comments for the algorithm. Doing good work youngun even if I don’t agree with you on things. 👍
The Eagles could also draft Oregon Ducks Center Jackson Powers-Johnson, who is arguably the best IOL in the draft. No matter where Jurgens is placed on the O-Line, the Eagles need to get a new IOL.
Kellen Moore 😂😂😂😂
Suprised u didn’t mention the Christian Wilkins rumors at all
The eagles need to get rid of Bradberry
Get McKinney. Dude is a DAWG!
SIMMONS RELEASED
They released Simmons today
What do the top ten highest paid RBs in the league ALL have in common?
NO RINGS!!!!
Number 11 is Miles Sanders who won one when he WASN’T being paid.
Sign Deandre Swift, it makes all the sense in the world. he won't be as expensive as Barkley and frankly Swift is a more electric, faster change of direction, and a better outside runner while still able to slip between the tackles. I hope the Eagles (Howie) doesn't get blinded by the big name attraction of Barkley. i'd love to hear your opinions on the linebacker situation, free agency, the draft and how to approach the position.
Who tf cares about the eagles anymore
