The 2026 NFL Draft will officially conclude on Saturday evening, as 257 rookies begin their NFL journeys in hopes of becoming stars and maybe even Pro Football Hall of Famers. However, the work isn’t done for the Philadelphia Eagles and the other 31 NFL teams, who will immediately sign undrafted free agent players after Mr. Irrelevant is announced.
Last year, the Eagles made a slew of UDFA signings, finding a diamond in the rough in wide receiver Darius Cooper, who made the 53-man roster out of training camp.
The Eagles will hope to find the next Darius Cooper in this year’s UDFA class. Below, we’ll give you all the info you need on who Philadelphia brings in as an undrafted free agent or tryout player, as the Eagles begin to fill out the rest of their 90-man roster.
1. Maximus Pulley, DB, Wofford
According to Justin Melo of NFL Draft on SI, the Eagles are signing Wofford defensive back Maximus Pulley. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound defender had a tremendous pro day last month, recording a 4.45 40-yard dash, 41.5″ vertical, 10’3″ broad jump, 4.25 shuttle, and 16 reps on the bench press, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC-2.
Last season, Pulley racked up 80 total tackles, five interceptions, five pass deflections, two defensive TDs, and a forced fumble. For his efforts, Pulley earned All-Southern Conference first-team and first-team All-American honors. He started in 34 games over his three years at Wofford after beginning his college career at Western Kentucky (two years).
2. Deontae Lawson, LB, Alabama
The Eagles are reportedly signing former Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Deontae Lawson following the 2026 NFL Draft, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan graded Lawson as the eighth-best inside linebacker in this year’s draft class.
The 6-foot-3, 226-pound linebacker can hold his own in pass coverage, is a good blitzer, and has a quick first step. This past season with the Tide, Lawson had 89 combined tackles (career-high), 4.5 tackles for loss, four pass deflections, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 1.5 sacks.
3. Dae’Quan Wright, TE, Ole Miss
According to Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles are bringing in former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright as an undrafted free agent.
4. Kapena Gushiken, DB, Ole Miss
According to Jason B. Hirschhorn of The Leap, the Eagles are signing former Ole Miss defensive back Kapena Gushiken. The 5-foot-10, 189-pound defender was graded as the eighth-best combo safety in this year’s class, per Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan.
5. Tucker Large, DB, Washington State
According to Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles are signing former Washington State Cougars defensive back Tucker Large as an undrafted free agent. Large, who played safety with the Cougs, spent the first four years of college at South Dakota State.
In his lone season at Washington State, the 5-foot-11, 183-pound defensive back had 71 combined tackles, eight pass deflections, and three tackles for loss across 13 games.
6. Jaeden Roberts, OG, Alabama
The Eagles are continuing to add to the trenches after the draft. According to Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles have signed former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive guard Jaeden Roberts.
The 6-foot-5, 327-pound lineman was graded as the 12th-best offensive guard in this year’s class by Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan. Roberts has started in 25 games at right guard over the last three years with the Crimson Tide. Roberts will likely compete with sixth-round pick Micah Morris, Willie Lampkin, and Hollin Pierce for backup spots on the interior offensive line.
7. Rocco Underwood, LS, Florida
The Eagles addressed their long snapper vacancy, signing former Florida Gator Rocco Underwood, per Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
8. Josh Weru, N/A, Kenya
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Eagles GM Howie Roseman told reporters that they are signing Josh Weru out of Kenya from the International Pathway Program. The 6-foot-4, 244-pound Weru is a former rugby player who hasn’t played football, but put on a show at his pro-day.
Check out Lance Zierlein’s scouting report on Weru on NFL.com:
Weru’s pro day results and field workout should capture the attention of evaluators hungry to mold an explosive athlete. While the former rugby player has no football background, his time in rugby should give him a bit of a head-start on making the transition. He was very fluid in his workout, with loose hips and quick feet. He’s a natural bender with excellent speed and rare explosiveness in his hips. Teams won’t get a full sense of Weru’s potential until he’s competing in pads during camp, but given his athletic ability, it might take a late draft pick to get a seat at the table.
Just like Ura Bernard, whom the Eagles took in the seventh round, they’ll have a huge learning curve. However, they’ll both have a chance to earn a spot on the practice squad, as teams can have a maximum of 17 players, including a designated international player.
