Like the Eagles, the rest of the NFL trimmed their rosters down, with hundreds of players hitting the waiver wire, able to be claimed and brought onto a new team.
Philadelphia is 31st on the waiver wire list, meaning they won’t have the first shot at many of the available free agents.
All 32 NFL teams have until 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday to submit claims.
Here are a nine players Philadelphia should consider who have either hit the waiver wire or become free agents within the last couple of days
OL Michael Dunn
LB Davion Taylor --- practice squad
#Bears have informed LB Davion Taylor he will be waived.

WR Trent Taylor
A bit of a surprise: The #Bengals released punt returner/WR Trent Taylor, who had five punt returns of 20+ yards last year. He also averaged 14.5 yards per return this season.

Update, Taylor is signing to the Bears 53-man roster.
DT Timmy Horne
Horne, 6-feet-4, 323 pounds, signed with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in 2022 but immediately made an impact, playing in all 17 games and starting five while compiling 27 tackles.
WR Stanley Morgan
LB Jabril Cox
WR - Jamison Crowder
Philadelphia has a strong group of WRs at the top, but they don’t have a reliable guy at the backend of the position. Crowder, who was released by the New York Giants, would be a great pickup. The veteran has played for the Washington Commanders, New York Jets, and recently for the Buffalo Bills, collecting 415 career receptions and 28 touchdowns.
LB - Deion Jones
Before his stint with the Panthers, Jones was a Pro Bowl player under Dan Quinn with the Atlanta Falcons and played with the Cleveland Browns last year.
OL - Alex Leatherwood
The former first-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 has proven to be a bust. Leatherwood has played both guard and tackle with the Raiders and the Bears, and Jeff Stoutland could be his best shot at success.
LB - Christian Kirksey
Kirksey is a nine-year veteran who had 124 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions last season.
WR Kendall Hinton
Hinton caught 39 passes for 486 yards and a touchdown the past two seasons and became a significant contributor on special teams for Denver.
Punter Pat O’Donnell
O’Donnell, who’s entering his 10th year in the league and was solid last season in Green Bay, could solve the Eagles problem.
LB Cory Littleton
Cory Littleton, a former Pro Bowl linebacker, had signed a one-year, $2.7 million contract with the Texans this offseason. Littleton spent last season with Carolina, starting 15 games and recording 47 tackles and half a sack.
CB Darius Rush
The former cornerback from South Carolina was thought of as a potential first or second round draft pick.
Injuries slowed his initial NFL development this summer, but he did have a pick-six in the Colts preseason opener, and he’s run a 4.36-second 40-yard dash.
WR Seth Williams
Williams, who spent last season on the Jaguars’ practice squad, had a strong summer, and the Auburn product and 2021 sixth-round pick of the Broncos tied for the Jags’ team lead with seven receptions for 109 yards in the preseason.
