5 former Eagles make a ranking of the NFL's top 50 free-agent signings
A recent ranking of free-agent signings could be looked at as a testament to how well the Eagles find and develop talent.
In today's NFL, keeping a stacked roster intact from one year to the next is nearly impossible. Just take a look at the two most recent Philadelphia Eagles offseasons. The salary cap forces tough decisions.
The deepest teams always have to let key contributors walk eventually. That reality is once again on display in the City of Brotherly Love. A recent ranking of the league's top 50 free-agent signings, one crafted by Sports Illustrated, featured five former Eagles.
It was a clear reminder of how well this organization continues to identify, develop, and maximize talent. The names span different roles, timelines, and levels of impact, but they all point to the same conclusion. Philadelphia knows what it's doing when it adds bodies to the roster.
Former Eagles headline free agency rankings across NFL rosters. Reed Blankenship’s inclusion is perhaps the most telling. He was an undrafted free agent who grew into a reliable starter and team captain.
