The Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up their 2021 season, which resulted in a 9-8 record in the NFC East and a postseason playoff berth.

Now the Eagles face an offseason with a ton of questions and a ton of excitement due to their three first-round picks.

Philadelphia signed 11 players that finished the season on their practice squad to reserve/future contracts on Monday. Eight of the 11 players the Eagles signed appeared in at least one regular-season game last year.
