Eagles Trade Gardner-Johnson, Lose Key Players in Free Agency

Following their Super Bowl victory, the Philadelphia Eagles are undergoing significant roster changes as free agency begins. Key players, including defensive tackle Milton Williams, defensive end Josh Sweat, and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, have signed with new teams, while cornerback Darius Slay is reportedly in talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles are focusing on integrating younger players into their lineup, as general manager Howie Roseman emphasized the need for youth to step up in response to these departures. Notably, Williams secured a lucrative four-year deal worth $104 million with the New England Patriots, making him the highest-paid player in the team's history. As the Eagles navigate these changes, they anticipate compensatory picks that could aid in replenishing their roster. The team will need to adjust strategically, especially in the secondary, following the loss of experienced players.
