With the 2026 NFL Draft set to begin, Philadelphia Eagles fans may be a bit more invested in what the team does after the grueling three-day selection process. Seconds after the final pick of the NFL Draft, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and his staff will be dialing the remaining players who were not selected, otherwise known as undrafted free agents (UDFAs).
For Draft "diehards," these are the players who were unselected by NFL teams and will hope to 'grind' their way onto a roster. The stories of Wes Welker, Tony Romo, and James Harrison are all of which became mainstays in the NFL and cornerstones for the franchises that believed in them.
Going into the 2026 NFL draft, the Eagles currently have 74 players on their roster as they prepare for the next generation of their franchise. With eight draft picks, the team has at least eight more UDFAs to reach the maximum of 90 players (without international player pathway exemptions). Last season, the Eagles signed nine UDFAs, with wide receiver Darius Cooper being the most notable.
While plenty of predictions have been made for what the Eagles will do with their draft picks, below are eight possible UDFA signings the team can make at the end of Day 3.
Bryson Eason, DT, Tennessee
Eason is set to be a high-priority UDFA if he doesn't find a home in the seventh round. A dominating force in the middle, Eason could be a high-value UDFA that could push for a spot on the 53-man roster, possibly pushing 2025 draft pick Ty Robinson.
Denver Harris, CB, UNLV
The Eagles had to utilize a lot of "retreads" in the secondary, like Kelee Ringo, for late-season support. Harris brings fresh blood to the secondary, and despite some underwhelming moments in college, he brings a five-star pedigree with a 4.4 40-yard dash.
Chad Lindberg, C/G, North Carolina
Lindberg could be a steal with his 6-foot-6 frame. His versatile skill set makes him a practice squad candidate to develop and possibly provide value to the Eagles down the line.
Kyle Dixon, WR, Culver Stockton College
Coming from the NAIA school, Culver Stockton College, Kyle Dixon may be one of the lesser-known and best-kept secrets in this class. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Dixon ran a 4.46 at his Pro Day, proving he can be an elite downfield option for many teams.
E.J. Warner, QB, Fresno State
The Eagles will certainly bring in a young QB to add depth to their room and support Jalen Hurts, Andy Dalton, and Tanner McKee. While Warner didn't "wow" anyone in college, he brings a wealth of experience in addition to the pedigree of being the son of an NFL legend. It's also worth noting that he played college football at Temple.
Laith Marjan, K, Kansas
Laith Marjan makes sense for the team after the draft ends. Marjan hit from 55 yards at KU, while also going 40 for 40 on extra points as well. He could be a solid option for Philadelphia, as the team has seen Jake Elliott decline over the past two seasons.
Matthew Hibner, TE, SMU
Historically, the Eagles have utilized UDFA tight ends, and if Hibner slips through the cracks, he may be a solid option. The Eagles have seven tight ends on the roster currently. Signing Hibner would easily put him in the upper tier of talent in the room for a high-value return.

Weylin Lapuaho, OG, BYU
Lapuaho is a mauling guard with plenty of experience during his time at BYU. At 6-4 and 310 pounds, he has prototypical size that should transition to a practice squad spot where he can provide value in a year or two.
