The Eagles made several critical signings during the 2023 NFL free agency process, with all of the additions being one-year deals.
Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman watched ten contributors leave on the open market.
Thanks to his shrewd maneuvering and roster building, the Eagles are in line for four valuable compensatory picks in 2024, according to NFL.com draft expert, Lance Zierlein.
The Eagles played the compensatory pick game perfectly. They knew they would have a large number of players leaving in free agency, and they didn’t add any projected qualifying free agents to the team. Philadelphia should receive the maximum number of picks, including a third-rounder for Hargrave.
The Birds were slated to have six picks in the 2024 NFL draft, but thanks to the compensatory formula, they’ll have 10.
