The Eagles are going to look a lot different when the team reconvenes at the NovaCare Complex for the 2023 off-season program.
Philadelphia has 18 pending free agents and 9 key contributors on defense that could move on for heftier paydays when the new league year starts on March 15.
Making matters even more urgent, the franchise will work to sign All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurt to a hefty contract extension, ensuring that multiple free agents are unlikely to return.
With the league tampering period fast approaching, here is an updated look at the team’s current depth chart.

Miles Sanders and Boston Scott are both set to test free agency, while Gainwell will look for an increased role.
