The Philadelphia Eagles have made a habit of making so few mistakes when it comes to free agency or big-time contract extensions that they’re now the gold standard in both departments.
The 2026 free agency cycle was a master class in such moves, with the Eagles signing 10 free agents with only 1 of them receiving anything more than a 1-year contract — punter Braden Mann with a 4-year, $14 million contract extension.
The Eagles may have also made the low-key best free-agent signing in the NFL by getting Super Bowl champion cornerback Riq Woolen away from the Seattle Seahawks on a 1-year, $15 million contract.
It’s why Pro Football Focus singled out the Eagles for some high praise in listing the “Most Favorite and Least Favorite” free-agent signings for all 32 NFL teams and, in an interesting twist, the Eagles got the rarely-seen “N/A” grade for their least favorite signing … because there just wasn’t 1 to point out.
“Despite signing some outsiders and re-signing their own players, the Eagles don’t seem to have overpaid for anyone,” PFF’s Zolton Buday wrote.
