Welcome one and welcome all to our annual, PSN Eagles bold predictions: Free Agency Edition! The guys all got together to give you what we believe will happen this week as free agency begins! We’ve got you covered from top to bottom, from the big splashes to the diamond in the rough! Buckle up and let’s have some fun!
Bryan Cameron
The first move I believe they make is locking down Marcus Williams. He’s 25 years old and a stud at the safety position. He’s played a majority of his snaps as a natural safety while playing less than 10% of the time in the box which Is kinda what Gannon wants but somehow I believe they make this worm.
A big splash to me will be the wide receiver position. Allen Robinson will be an Eagle. It makes all of the sense in the world. Allen Robinson will thrive next to DeVonta Smith. He’ll also help the arm talent of Jalen Hurts as Allen Robinson still has plenty in the tank to go up and grab the ball out of mid-air.
An under-the-radar move to me will be what they do at the cornerback position. They want to go young but what’s better than a young player with experience? Nothing. This is why I think the Eagles need to go after Rasul Douglas and bring him back home. Allow him to shine in this new scheme as he did in Green Bay.

1) Allen Robinson signs 3-year deal
2) Zach Pascal signs 4-year deal
3) Miles Sanders traded
4) Xavier Rhodes signs 2-year deal
5) JJAW cut, Reagor traded
The Eagles need linebacking help and the fact Jordan Hicks has been released simply due to the fact Arizona wants to lean on their draft capital instead should open up the road to return to Philadelphia as the veteran that this young group clearly needs.
Robinson is probably the perfect free-agent fit for Phlly. Coming off of a down-year that can be largely attributed to a QB carousel in Chicago, Robinson ticks every box that Howie could possibly want, and will come at a discount as a result.
The Eagles have a tricky decision to make in the secondary. Rodney McLeod has been around the team since 2016 but has a worrying injury history and is reaching the tail end of his career. Meanwhile, Anthony Harris joined last year and was by far the better player for Gannon’s scheme due to the overlap in Minnesota.
Both players are now free agents, and it makes sense for the Birds to build for the future. That unfortunately means bringing back the best player and saying goodbye to a vocal leader on the defense in Rodney McLeod. It will be the toughrest

Bold Prediction: Philadelphia signs two legit starters at LB. No more Corey Nelson’s or Jatavis Brown’s.
Colin Newby
I think the Eagles will be more aggressive on defense than on offense. Justin Reid seems like the name that makes the most sense at safety, and I’m not closing the door on a Rodney McLeod return. I also expect a veteran pass rusher, possibly Calais Campbell, who comes in to do what Ryan Kerrigan was supposed to do. As much I would like to see Allen Robinson, I think they’ll be more conservative on offense. Zach Pascal makes so much sense because of his connection to Nick Sirianni, and I expect him in Philadelphia next year.
Tommy Orne
Eagles ship Gardner Minshew and the 2022 16th-overall pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Chase Claypool.
Philadelphia has the luxury of shedding some draft capital if need be, and Claypool makes a lot of sense. The Eagles immediately address an issue at wideout with a relatively proven commodity and walk away with plenty of picks left to spoil.
With a cap hit of just $3.9MM over the next two years, the Eagles get at least two cheap seasons to pair Claypool with DeVonta Smith. Philly could do a lot worse.
You’d need to twist the Steeler’s arm to make this happen, but it’s certainly not like Pittsburgh’s getting the short end of the stick. They add a young, capable quarterback who has shown he can start in the league while tacking on an additional mid-first rounder to rebuild an aging core. Everybody wins.
