The Eagles will look much different when the team reconvenes at the NovaCare Complex for the 2023 off-season program.
Philadelphia lost ten free agents, retained five of their own, and added three free agents from other teams during the first wave of signings and agreements.
Making matters even more urgent, the franchise will work to sign All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurt to a hefty contract extension, ensuring that the Eagles are a Super Bowl contender for years to come.
With the first wave of free agency in the rearview mirror, here is an updated look at the team’s current depth chart.

Miles Sanders moved on to Carolina and was replaced by Rashaad Penny. Boston Scott re-signed, and Kenneth Gainwell will assume his role.
