The Philadelphia Eagles are likely going to lose a lot of good players in free agency this offseason to other teams around the NFL. However, one of the silver linings is that they will receive a maximum of four compensatory picks in the 2026 NFL Draft for the players they lose, minus the players they gain.
Here we’ll track each signing (both lost and gained), and whether or not each player will count toward the compensatory pick formula. Bookmark 🔖, please.
Players lost
• CB Isaiah Rodgers: Rodgers reportedly agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings on a two-year deal worth $15 million. That should qualify him for a sixth-round pick in the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• iDL Milton Williams: Williams reportedly agreed to terms with the New England Patriots on a four-year deal worth $104 million. That will almost certainly net the Eagles a third-round comp pick. (STORY HERE)
• EDGE Josh Sweat: Sweat reportedly agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals on a four-year deal worth $76.4 million. That should qualify him for a fourth-round pick in the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• LB Oren Burks: Burks reportedly agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Bengals worth $5 million. That is probably not enough money for Burks to qualify for the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• RB Kenny Gainwell: Gainwell signed a one-year contract with the Steelers worth $1.79 million. That is not enough to count toward the comp pick formula. (STORY HERE)
• CB Darius Slay: Slay reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Steelers worth $10 million, however he will not count toward the comp pick formula because he was released by the Eagles. (STORY HERE)
Players gained
• RB A.J. Dillon: The financials of Dillon’s deal with the Eagles are not yet known, but it’s extremely unlikely that he earned enough money to qualify toward the comp pick formula.
