Burks signed a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million with Philadelphia on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Burks saw the most defensive work of his career with San Francisco last season, tallying 308 defensive snaps and accumulating a career-best 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 15 regular-season games. He also continued to play on special teams, which had been his primary role in the NFL prior to last year. Burks will likely provide depth at linebacker for Philadelphia in the coming campaign while adding value as a core special-teamer.

Oren Burks : Inks deal with Eagles
Burks signed a one-year contract worth up to $2.5 million with Philadelphia on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. Burks saw the most defensive work of his career with San Francisco last season, tallying 308 defensive snaps and accumulating a career-best 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 15 regular-season games. He also continued to play on special teams, which had been his primary role in the NFL prior to last year. Burks will likely provide depth at linebacker for Philadelphia in the coming campaign while adding value as a core special-teamer.
Josh Sweat : Restructures deal
The Eagles restructured Sweat's contract ahead of the 2024 season Friday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports. The 26-year-old defensive end's restructured contract allows him to make up to $13 million in 2024, with $10 million guaranteed, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Sweat saw a dip in production last season compared to the previous two years, but he was still fairly impactful nonetheless. The Florida State product appeared in all 17 of the Eagles' regular-season outings, logging 43 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks. Sweat is expected to remain one of the most productive players on Philadelphia's defense in 2024.
Kenny Pickett : Dealt to Eagles
The Steelers are trading Pickett to the Eagles for a draft pick swap, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. As recently as 10 days ago, multiple Pittsburgh beat reporters said the team preferred to keep Pickett and Mason Rudolph and then let them compete for the starting job. Both are now gone and will be backups for other teams, while the Steelers have Russell Wilson as the lone QB on their offseason roster. The move to Philadelphia might help Pickett's development but also means he'll have no opportunity to compete for the top spot, instead serving as a clear backup to Jalen Hurts. The 2022 first-round pick has two seasons remaining on his rookie contract, plus a fifth-year option for 2026 that's unlikely to be picked up.
Devin White : Lands in Philadelphia
The Eagles agreed to terms with White on a one-year contract worth up to $7.5 million on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 26-year-old was the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Bucs and spent the first five seasons of his career in Tampa Bay, winning a Super Bowl and being named to one Pro Bowl. White played in 14 games last season, finishing with 83 tackles (49 solo), six pass breakups, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions. He brings much-needed playmaking ability to Philly's linebacker corps.
Jake Elliott : Secures four-year extension
Elliott and the Eagles agreed to terms Wednesday on a four-year, $24 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Elliott's new contract with an averaged of $6 million per season ties him with Justin Tucker as the highest-paid kicker in the history of the NFL, per Schefter. Last year was the strongest statistical season of Elliott's career, as he averaged a 94 percent field-goal rate (30-of-32) and missed just one of 46 extra-point tries. The 32-year-old's 32 field-goal attempts ranked just 16th in the league, however, with his career-high mark having come in 2021 with 33 field-goal tries.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson : Heading back to Philly
The Eagles are slated to sign Gardner-Johnson to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Gardner-Johnson was part of the Eagles' Super Bowl team in 2022 before signing a one-year deal with the Lions last offseason. CJGJ ended up missing all but three games with a torn pec but was able to return for Week 18 and Detroit's playoff run. He's just 26 years old and should return to an every-down role in the Eagles' defensive backfield alongside Reed Blankenship.
DeVante Parker : Links up with Eagles
Parker and the Eagles are in agreement on a one-year contract, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Frank suggests the Eagles will only have to pay Parker something around the veteran's minimum, with New England in line to cover most of his 2024 compensation. The Patriots reportedly are set to release Parker on Wednesday at the start of the 2024 league year, despite his $3.2 million base salary being fully guaranteed. The 31-year-old has never lived up to his status as the 14th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but he does have 5,660 receiving yards through nine season and should be in the mix for Philly's No. 3 WR job behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. None of the guys that filled that role for portions of last season -- Julio Jones, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus -- is under contract with the Eagles for 2024.
Kenneth Gainwell : Becomes backup to Barkley
Gainwell is poised to operate as the backup to Saquon Barkley, who slated to sign a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports. Gainwell looks set to remain Philadelphia's No. 2 running back, but instead of backing up D'Andre Swift (who is set to join the Bears on a three-year, $24 million contract), he'll look to complement an established, true three-down workhorse in Barkley. That could spell less opportunities for offensive touches for Gainwell, who tallied career-high marks with 84 carries for 364 yards and two scores in 2023, but he should retain quality value as an insurance option behind Barkley. Gainwell's versatility makes him a solid depth option for Philadelphia, though the team could still add further reserves to the backfield.
