The Philadelphia Eagles made it to Super Bowl 59, making it their second apperance on Championship Sunday the last three years. However you look at it, that's no easy feat, and one of the reasons they got where they're at is that they're stacked with talent. One look at their roster shows that Philly doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. Sure, signing running back Saquon Barkley got them over the hump, but he's far from their only game-changer.

Surprisingly, the Eagles don't have many significant free agents to take care of in 2025, aside from All-Pro linebacker Zach Baun, who was a steal last year. Still, some of their players slated to hit the open market could have a robust market. The following four, in particular, would help the Jacksonville Jaguars fill a handful of roster holes.

Jack Driscoll, offensive tackle

You know offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is one of the best in the business because he outlasted Chip Kelly and Doug Pederson in Philly. Nick Sirianni chose to retain him when he was the head coach, and it's easy to see why. Under his tutelage Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce became Hall-of-Fame worthy, and left tackle Jordan Mailata has become a staple of the Eagles trenches.

Right tackle Jack Driscoll isn't nearly as prominent as his teammates but has delivered when called upon. A fourth-round pick in 2020, he's appeared in 67 games with 18 starts for the Eagles. Last year, he posted a respectable Pro Football Focus overall grade of 71.3 while giving up just one sack and three total pressures on 110 snaps. In Jacksonville, he could provide depth behind bookend offensive tackles Anton Harrison and Walker Little.

Josh Sweat, edge rusher

Josh Sweat, a fourth-round pick in 2018, is everything the Eagles expected from Derek Barnett when they drafted him 14th overall the year prior. While he had a quiet rookie campaign, he progressively got better and has registered 43 sacks over the past seven years.

The Jaguars have two talented pass rushers in Travon Walker and Josh-Hines Allen but need to round out their rotation. Signing Sweat wouldn't come cheap, but he could turn their pass rush into one of the best in the league.

Milton Williams, defensive tackle

One of the Jaguars' biggest weaknesses last year was the interior defensive line. They couldn't stop the run or bring the heat. Milton Williams could help with that. In fact, he's previously been linked to Jacksonville.

A third-round pick in 2021, Williams had a breakout season in 2025, registering five sacks. He's posted 11.5 the past four years. He could certainly become a key cog in the Jacksonville rotation. The only downside is that signing could hamper the development of Maason Smith and Jordan Jefferson, both of whom showed promise late in 2024.

CJ Uzomah, tight end

Once a fixture of the Cincinnati Bengals offense, tight end C.J. Uzomah has been slowed down by injuries in recent years and has taken into more of a complementary role. He signed with the Eagles last year after two unremarkable seasons with the New York Jets.

Last year, Uzomah suited up for just seven games with three starts. His days as a starter are probably over, but he could provide depth at tight end in Duval if the Jags release or trade Evan Engram in the offseason.
