The first wave of the NFL’s free agency period has past and the Eagles roster looks a lot different than it did when the team walked off Lincoln Financial Field after a Wild Card loss.
Howie Roseman has stayed true to his retooling efforts and the Eagles have landed a few big fish like Javon Hargrave and Darius Slay.
With the draft upcoming and moves still to be made, here’s the Eagles project depth chart after the first wave of NFL free agency.

QB: Carson Wentz — Nate Sudfeld
RB: Miles Sanders — Boston Scott
WR: DeSean Jackson — Shelton Gibson

Changes from the 2019 season
As of now, Jason Peters will find employment elsewhere, as the Eagles transition to Andre Dillard at the left tackle spot.
Until the Eagles make a move in the NFL draft, Greg Ward will assume the role in the slot after Nelson Agholor moved on to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency. JJ Arcega-Whiteside could be an option if the Eagles move on from Alshon Jeffery in the coming weeks.
At running back, Miles Sanders is now the goto guy, with Jordan Howard moving on to the Miami Dolphins. Boston Scott will assume the role of change of pace and third-down back until the Eagles add another running back.
