The 2024 NFL Draft wraps up Saturday night with 257 rookies beginning their professional football careers. However, the draft process isn’t finished, as all 32 NFL teams hope to find some diamonds in the rough during the UDFA signing period.
The Philadelphia Eagles have done an excellent job finding talent in the UDFA period over the years on both sides of the ball. Last year, the Eagles signed nine undrafted free agents, including cornerback Eli Ricks and linebacker Ben VanSumeren, who received regular-season snaps on defense.
Philly hopes to have similar success this year as they look to find players to develop, who could start for the team or elsewhere in the NFL. Below, we’ll keep you updated with the latest UDFA news and signings by the Eagles as they continue to add to their 90-man roster.
