Expect more roster turnover from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022.

When Philadelphia Eagles vice president/general manager Howie Roseman held up that sheet of looseleaf paper and stated that Philly wanted guys that ‘love football’ are ‘healthy’, and ‘could run’, we already knew what would happen. What’s sad is this. It didn’t even take a year before what we expected came to pass. Year after year goes by, and the Eagles refuse to abandon a familiar yet unsuccessful form of roster-building.

Howie has become the NFL’s poster child for making bad draft choices, signing players to extensions that drag on for far too long (and are too expensive), and signing aging free agents in an attempt to cover the deficiencies that this team has at just about every position. You can already guess where this is headed. Turnover will most certainly come in 2022 when we begin discussing free agency.

Currently, there are 15 players on the Eagles active roster that are expected to become free agents at the beginning of 2022’s offseason. Ten are unrestricted free agents. Five are restricted free agents. Many of these guys won’t be back, but here’s a list of five of the more well-known players who are nearing their final days as members of this team.
