Count them. 12 veterans on the Philadelphia Eagles roster are walking into camp with a ton to prove. Here’s who we think may be in danger of losing a roster spot.

Is it just us, or are things getting really interesting? The Philadelphia Eagles officially began the third phase of their offseason OTA program on Tuesday, May 21st. No one’s wearing pads yet, but we’ve already seen things that, at one time seemed impossible.

Carson Wentz is completing passes to DeSean Jackson for goodness sakes. Now, did you even think that was possible in 2016?

Philly’s got recognizable and bona fide stars at every position of the depth chart, so much so that we forget about guys sometimes. Honestly, when was the last time you heard or mentioned the name Jordan Howard?

With so much to pay attention to, it can be hard to keep up, but here’s something everybody’s thinking about, even now.

Who’s going to make the final 53-man roster? It may be too early to tell, but we can identify dark horses. We can also identify the guys who figure to be dismissed. We can even come up with some reasonable expectations for the guys who we were drafted.

For this one, we play the role of prognosticator, and we do our best to identify the veterans with the most to lose at every position. How did we do? You tell us. The debate table is officially open.
