Eagles face roster changes ahead of 2026 Draft, plans for maximum compensatory picks

As the NFL free agency period unfolds, the Philadelphia Eagles have been relatively quiet, with many notable quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, still available. The Eagles have lost some key players to free agency, including Mekhi Becton, which has maxed out their compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL Draft, bringing their total to 12 picks, with five in the first two days. This strategic accumulation of draft capital aligns with General Manager Howie Roseman's plan to build the roster with young talent while maintaining flexibility for potential trades. The Eagles' rivals in the NFC East are also actively reshaping their rosters, with varying degrees of success, as they aim to challenge the Eagles' dominance in the division. With the season opener still months away, the Eagles' depth chart is expected to undergo further changes as more free agents and draft picks are integrated into the team. The upcoming season will reveal how these offseason moves will impact the Eagles' quest for a second Super Bowl title.
