Philadelphia

Eagles

Pryor entered the league as a sixth-round Eagles reserve but spent the past four years bouncing around various locales. That includes a stint as a 15-game starter for the Bears last season. He held up surprisingly well on Caleb Williams’ right side, mostly at guard. Although he’s now on the wrong side of 30, Pryor is valuable, experienced depth.

The 10-year NFL veteran should provide depth along one of the top performing offensive lines from a season ago. Lamm has appeared in 119 games for the Texans, Browns, Titans, and Dolphins, 44 of which have been starts. He started 16 games in Miami during his three seasons with the team.

Maddox was a fourth-round pick of the Eagles back in 2018 and has spent his entire seven-year career with the team. Playing primarily as a backup, Maddox has started 41 of the 81 games he’s appeared in during his career and has played on 345-plus defensive snaps in every season outside of an injury-shortened 2023. Maddox has played primarily as a slot corner when asked to play in coverage and will likely play a similar role with the Lions.

The proposal is to give “both teams the opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession, subject to a 15-minute overtime period in the regular season.” The current rule for the regular season has a 10-minute overtime period where both teams must possess the ball, unless the team receiving the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession. There were 16 overtime games during the 2024 regular season, and none in the playoffs.

It’s one of a few rules tweaks proposed by teams for the 2025 season, and it comes after Green Bay’s defense was totally unable to stop the Eagles’ use of the tush push in their postseason loss to Philadelphia in January. The tush push — a play in which the QB is pushed from behind by a teammate to convert a short yardage play — has proven nearly unstoppable for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense. The combination of an elite offensive line and Hurts’ unmatched lower body strength has made the tush push a cheat code for the Eagles over the past few seasons. Some teams with far less powerful quarterbacks — including the Packers — have used tight ends to run the tush push. The Eagles in 2024 converted 71 percent of their fourth down attempts, the fourth highest rate in the NFL.

The six-year veteran played the last two seasons with the Eagles. He started six of 17 games during the 2024 regular season and appeared in all four games during the playoffs, including Super Bowl LIX. The Jaguars have already signed free agents Patrick Mekari and Robert Hainsey this offseason in hopes of bolstering their offensive line. Pro Football Focus graded the Jacksonville offensive line as the league’s 12th-worst pass blocking unit in 2024.

Graham, 36, is one of the few modern NFL players to spend his entire career in one city. “My life has been forever changed because of this magical place,” Graham said of Philadelphia during his retirement presser. Graham earned legendary status over the second half of his career with the Eagles, helping the team earn three Super Bowl berths and winning two, including last year’s championship domination of the Chiefs. He told reporters Tuesday that he re-tore his triceps in the Eagles’ Super Bowl win over KC. Graham retires with 76.5 sacks over 206 games. His best season came in 2022, when he recorded 11 sacks along with 11 tackles for a loss. Pro Football Focus graded Graham in 2024 as the league’s 20th best defensive end. His 13 hurries in 2024 ranked 86th among all defensive ends.

Of course he did: It’s the rare restructure that’s a raise. The five-time All-Pro tackle will make an additional $8 million over the next two seasons including an additional $30 million in guaranteed money. That brings his ledger to $48 million, $40 million of which is guaranteed, over the coming two seasons. The Eagles continue to reward the mainstays of their roster following a Super Bowl Championship. The updated contract now ties Johnson to the Eagles through the 2027 season, effectively serving as a one-year extension.

Looking to stockpile talent on the cheap, the Eagles land themselves a solid pass rusher in Ojulari. During his first four seasons with the Giants, Ojulari totaled 22 sacks over 46 games. He managed six sacks in just 11 games last season. Injuries have plagued the former second-round pick throughout much of his career, but if healthy, he should prove to be an adequate replacement for Josh Sweat, who left in free agency earlier this offseason.
