Eagles Anticipate Strategy Shift Ahead of Free Agency

As the NFL offseason approaches, the Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for free agency with just under $22 million in salary cap space. Although the Eagles have made significant signings, including a contract extension for linebacker Zack Baun, they face challenges with key players like Josh Sweat and Milton Williams potentially leaving. Myles Garrett's desire to leave Cleveland has generated speculation, but the Eagles are not expected to pursue him due to their current roster situation and salary cap constraints. The team is also looking at defensive needs, particularly at edge rusher, as they anticipate possible departures and retirements. With 16 pending free agents, Howie Roseman and his staff must strategically navigate the upcoming free agency period to bolster their roster while managing their financial commitments. The legal tampering period begins soon, highlighting the urgency for teams to solidify their plans for the new league year.
