Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles have been active in the 2025 offseason, bringing in over a dozen new players. Howie Roseman, the team's Executive Vice President and General Manager, provided insights into the new additions and their potential contributions to the team.

Discussing the acquisition of offensive lineman Kenyon Green from Houston, Roseman said: "Here's a guy who just turned 24 years old, who we had done a lot of work on coming into the 2022 NFL Draft. We felt like he had tools in his body, great character, and I think he'd be the first to admit that his career hasn't gotten off to the start that he'd like it to have, but we feel like he's got a chance to kind of reinvent himself and start over here in Philadelphia and that will be the opportunity for him."

Roseman touched upon the transaction involving quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson from Cleveland, noting: "It starts with Kenny Pickett and the amazing teammate he was here and the year that he had as an Eagle and helping us win a Championship...The Browns were aggressive in trying to acquire him...In the course of the conversations, the window opened to also bring in a developmental quarterback in Dorian Thompson-Robinson and that was something we were interested in."

On the signing of running back A.J. Dillon, Roseman stated: "Talented guy, out last year with an injury, seems healthy, determined to succeed. He's a great complement to the guys we have here."

Regarding linebacker Joshua Uche, Roseman commented: "This is a guy that we've had our eye on for some time...Joshua is a talented guy with a great work ethic who has shown the ability to get to the quarterback."

Roseman remarked on tight end Harrison Bryant: "A lot of these guys, when they hit free agency, you've done a lot of work on them as they enter the NFL Draft...He has a dual-skill set in that he can block and he can run routes and catch."

Cornerback Adoree' Jackson was also a notable addition: "Another guy that we've had a lot of conversations about to bring to Philadelphia through the years and we've always had tremendous respect for his skill set," Roseman explained.

The team also signed long snapper Charley Hughlett: "This guy was somebody who had tremendous success in Cleveland – a Pro Bowl-level player, a captain..."

On outside linebacker Patrick Johnson, Roseman stated: "Bringing Patrick back is something we are really happy about – it's interesting that he comes back and he's the oldest guy in that (edge) room."

Special teams player and running back Avery Williams was also signed. Roseman described him as "a five-phase special teamer."

Discussing another tight end, Kylen Granson, Roseman said: "You're always looking at guys who remind you of people...Kylen has a similar body type and similar athleticism."

Outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari was another addition, of whom Roseman commented: "We obviously know him well with us playing the Giants twice each season."

The team also signed offensive lineman Kendall Lamm: "Experienced swing tackle who helps us," Roseman noted.

Finally, the Eagles agreed to terms with offensive lineman Matt Pryor, whom Roseman described as "versatile and he knows what Jeff Stoutland (run game coordinator/offensive line coach) wants."
