Hence, ahead of the 2025\/26 season, let&#8217;s look at five <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/philadelphia-eagles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> free agents whose exits could affect their title defense.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<h2>Top five Philadelphia Eagles free agents whose exits could hamstring Philadelphia in 2025<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Zack Baun, Linebacker<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/zack-baun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Zack Baun<\/a> enjoyed the best season of his five-year career in 2024. The All-Pro linebacker was instrumental in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/full-list-philadelphia-eagles-free-agents-2025-feat-josh-sweat-zach-baun-others\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Eagles&#8217;<\/a> NFC East title win, and he continued his dominant performances in the postseason. Baun had a solid showing in the Super Bowl, amassing seven tackles, one interception, and one pass deflection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Looking to predict NFL playoff Scenarios?

Baun makes the team&#8217;s defense significantly better and looks like an elite fit in the locker room.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Josh Sweat, Edge Rusher<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/josh-sweat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Josh Sweat<\/a> might have earned himself a new bumper contract following his Super Bowl LIX performance. The veteran rusher relentlessly pressured Patrick Mahomes in the contest and came out with a stat line of 2.5 sacks and six tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Sweat is a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; pass rush, and he&#8217;ll be a significant loss if the two parties fail to agree on a deal. Furthermore, Sweat will be in high demand around the league as elite pass rushers are at a premium in today&#8217;s NFL.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Brandon Graham, Edge Rusher<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/brandon-graham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Brandon Graham<\/a> is a certified Philadelphia Eagles legend. The former Pro Bowler has spent his entire 15-year career with the Eagles and can boast of contributing to both Super Bowl triumphs.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are strong indications that Super Bowl LIX will be his last game in the NFL. The Eagles won the game, and the iconic edge rusher could retire as a Super Bowl champion. His departure would sting as he&#8217;s one of the biggest presences in the locker room and a top-notch player at his position when fit.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Mekhi Becton, Guard<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/mekhi-becton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Mekhi Becton<\/a> is a starting guard for the newly minted Super Bowl champs and a major part of the team&#8217;s offensive line. He was great in the regular season and enters free agency in a great position.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important that the Eagles re-sign Becton due to his development as a starting-caliber right guard. Finding a replacement via the free agency market might be too costly, and there aren&#8217;t many elite guards available late in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Avonte Maddox, Cornerback<\/h3>\n<p>Avonte Maddox is a backup cornerback for Nick Sirianni&#8217;s team. He is a versatile weapon in the secondary and has spent his entire career with the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>The Pittsburgh product has started in roughly half of the games he&#8217;s played in as an Eagle. Hence, the front office must reach an agreement with the player, who has proved efficient in his role for the past seven seasons.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Nicolaas Ackermann<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', pixelID); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel);\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel);\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/top-5-philadelphia-eagles-free-agents-whose-exits-hamstring-philadelphia-2025-ft-zack-baun-brandon-graham\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Philadelphia Eagles have defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX.
