3 Eagles Still Unemployed Entering Training Camp

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to open up training camp later this month at the NovaCare Complex after having an eventful offseason that saw them making massive changes on both sides of the ball.

The Eagles were busy in free agency as they signed Saquon Barkley, Bryce Huff, and Devin White, and brought back C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Eagles fans were excited to see the veteran safety back with the team as the defense missed his playmaking last season.

However, other former Eagles players are sitting in free agency with training camp scheduled to kick off soon. Most of these players are veterans and might not be considered a significant addition on paper. 

But they could provide a respective team with depth, depending on if that squad loses a player in training camp or preseason. Below, we’ll highlight a few Eagles still looking for work before training camp.

1. Zach Cunningham

The veteran linebacker surprisingly hasn’t been signed this offseason despite having a good 2023 campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 29-year-old linebacker had 85 combined tackles, four pass deflections, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, and a fumble recovery. Cunningham wasn’t spectacular in pass coverage last season for Philadelphia, but he was their best linebacker by far.

The veteran defender produced a 75.9 completion percentage allowed on targets, a 93.9 pass rating allowed when targeted, and only gave up a receiving touchdown. Cunningham showed he could stay healthy and help a contender looking for linebacker depth.

That said, Cunningham got signed in August last year, so there’s a chance the same situation could play out again. If the Eagles were to lose a linebacker in camp or preseason, it wouldn’t be shocking to see them reach out to the veteran.
