Philadelphia Eagles Make Major Offseason Moves with New Signings

The Philadelphia Eagles signed RB Tyrion Davis-Price, OT Darian Kinnard, and former Lions edge rusher Julian Okwara to futures contracts. Davis-Price, a former 49ers third-round pick, has shown potential but struggled to make an impact in the NFL. Kinnard, a former Chiefs fifth-round selection, provides depth at the offensive line, while Okwara, a talented but injury-prone edge rusher, will be given a chance to prove himself with the Eagles.
