The Eagles are back at the NovaCare Complex as the offseason program begins for 76 select veterans and second-year players.
The nine-week training program has three phases: one mandatory minicamp for the entire roster and one rookie minicamp for each group.
Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program, with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program with on-field workouts, which may include individual or group instruction.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program, during which teams may conduct ten days of organized team practice activities, or “OTAs.”
No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed.
The Eagles are changing their offseason program, including adding a mandatory minicamp for the first time under Nick Sirianni. They will have 7 OTAs (May 20, May 22-23, May 28, May 30-31) and three days of mandatory minicamp (June 4-6). In 2022 and 2023, they had six total OTAs.
A former 2022 third-round pick of the 49ers, Davis-Price appeared in seven games with San Francisco and registered 40 carries for 120 yards. In 2023, he appeared in one game and registered six carries for 21 yards before being waived by the team on December 5, 2023.
A 23-year-old native of Baton Rouge, LA, Davis-Price attended Louisiana State University for three years (2019-21), where he appeared in 35 games and logged 379 carries for 1,744 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The Eagles see potential, and according to his agency, the reserve/futures deal was the most lucrative deal signed this offseason.
A pass-rushing outside linebacker, Okwara was waived by the Lions ahead of the NFC title game.
Okwara logged just seven tackles (six solo), including two sacks, in nine games played last season.
Over the past three seasons, the 25-year-old defensive end recorded 29 total tackles, ten tackles for loss, and seven sacks for the Lions’ defense.
The signing looks like a reach for potential; as the third-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Okwara hasn’t played more than 13 games in a single season.
Tanner McKee had a nice training camp last season and he’s got talent, but if the season started today and Hurts suffered an injury, the signal-caller would have no prior NFL game experience.
That’ll change with Pickett’s arrival.
He’s started 24 games in his first two seasons and the Steelers — going 7-5 under center in both of those years. He’s completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions during his career.
White finished the 2023 regular season with 83 tackles (49 solo), including 2.5 sacks, two interceptions, and an additional four defensed passes across 14 games. He added three assisted tackles in the Buccaneers’ two postseason games.
Last off-season, White initially requested a trade but instead played under the fifth-year option. White struggled with foot and groin injuries throughout the 2023 season and was replaced in the starting lineup by K.J. Britt. White played 37 defensive snaps in two postseason games.
White joins Nakobe Dean in the starting lineup as a linebacker, but the cabinet isn’t bare, as Philadelphia signed the versatile Zach Baun. Ben VanSumern and Brandon Smith are also potential hopefuls at inside linebacker.
At 25 years old, Huff has increased his sack production in seasons, jumping from 3.5 sacks in 2022 to 10.0 this past season.
More of a situational pass rusher than a true defensive end or SAM linebacker, Huff played in just 42 percent of the Jets’ defensive snaps, as he was used solely in pass-rushing situations. He still logged ten sacks, and one season after Philadelphia brass was left highly disappointed with the pass rush’s production, Howie Roseman is signing a natural.
The 25-year-old did not attend his first Pro Bowl in 2022 because the Eagles played in Super Bowl LVII.
In 17 regular season games last season, Hurts completed 65.4 percent of his passes for 3,858 yards and a career-high 23 touchdowns. He also added 15 rushing touchdowns, setting a new NFL record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season, matching Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Hurts also broke multiple franchise records – establishing team records in total yards (4,463) and total touchdowns (38) while finishing second in the league in total scores behind Allen (42).
Hurts will need to improve on his turnovers, while taking on more of a leadership role after the departures of Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox.
The talented punter returns to Philadelphia after signing a two-year deal in free agency.
After years of uncertainty at the position, punter Braden Mann set an Eagles records by averaging 49.8 yards per punt with a 43.9-yard net average.
#11 WR A.J. Brown
One year after shattering the Eagles record for receiving yards in a season, A.J. Brown registered an Eagles receiver record 106 catches, to go along with 1,456 yards and 7 touchdowns.
After being an early off-season cut, Maddox is back on a reduced contract. When healthy, he’s one of the top slot cornerbacks in the NFL.
#32 DB Reed Blankenship
The young safety signed a two-year deal and avoids restricted free agency after he appeared in 15 regular-season games last season, leading the Eagles in interceptions (three), solo tackles (79) and total tackles (113).
The former undrafted free agent is now a key part of the Eagles defense and should team with Sydney Brown and potential draft pick for years to come.

#53 LB Zack Baun
The versatile linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Eagles.
Baun recorded 30 tackles across 17 games in the 2023 regular season.
Baun saw a career-high 292 defensive snaps last season while continuing to play a critical role on special teams (381).
The 2020 third-round pick was a core special-teamer since his first year with the Saints, but he’s yet to log more than 30 tackles in a single season.
#55 DE Brandon Graham
Graham wants to retire as an Eagle and he’ll play one final season after signing a one-year deal.

#86 WR Joseph Ngata
#87 WR Griffin Hebert
#88 WR Dallas Goedert
With Goedert now 29 and Jack Stoll, last year’s No. 2 tight end, signing with the New York Giants in free agency, the Eagles could look to add a tight end in the draft.
#90 DT Jordan Davis
The third year defensive tackle enters a key season and will need to improve his production with Fletcher Cox retiring.
#93 DT Milton Williams
#94 DE Josh Sweat
Sweat signed for $10 million through the 2024 season.
#95 DT Marlon Tuipulotu
#98 DT Jalen Carter
The No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Carter is star at the defensive tackle position, and is the new king with Fletcher Cox retiring.
CB Isaiah Rodgers --Reserve/Suspended by Commissioner
A 5-10, 176-pound cornerback, Rodgers was a sixth-round pick of the Colts out of UMass in 2020.
Rodgers appeared in 45 games (10 starts), logging 88 tackles, ten passes defensed, and three interceptions.
A phenomenal special teams standout, Rodgers became just the sixth rookie in Colts history to return a kickoff for a touchdown, earning PFWA All-Rookie honors last season.
Rodgers has averaged 27.0 yards per kickoff return in his career.
