Inside the Eagles’ 2026 Roster: Surprising Star Breakouts and Hidden Risks Revealed
I still like the linebacker room, despite Dean’s departure.
Safeties
This is a position Roseman usually tries to figure out on the fly, and that appears to be the case again this offseason. With Blankenship gone, last year’s second round pick, Andrew Mukuba, will be expected to take a more active role in the defense. He showed good flashes before getting injured. Like with Campbell, Roseman is relying on a high draft pick to play and produce right away. The team re-signed Marcus Epps to take the other starting safety spot. He’s not a stud, but he has a high floor. You know what you’re going to get with him, and there’s something to be said for that. After that, however, it’s dicey.
Roseman dealt away Sydney Brown to the Falcons and replaced him with veteran J.T. Gray, mostly for the purposes of special teams. He’s 30 years old and likely won’t get a ton of snaps on defense. Michael Carter, II, listed as a cornerback on the depth chart, could be moved to safety if Roseman isn’t able to find anything to his liking in free agency or the draft. There’s also A.J. Sam and Brandon Johnson in the house, too.
