NFL Draft 2023: Eagles undrafted free agent tracker
The NFL draft is over but the Eagles arent done adding.
The Eagles drafted seven players in this years draft but have been aggressive adding undrafted players in recent years. Last years initial 53-man roster included three undrafted free agents and another one ended up on the team shortly after final cuts.
In recent years, the Eagles havent been shy about paying out some big money to lure the best UDFAs to Philly and theyve found some gems.
Entering this draft, the Eagles had 71 players on their roster. They drafted seven players, added DAndre Swift in the draft and waived DT Marvin Wilson. That leaves 12 spots open.
Well track all their UDFA signings here:

Ty Zentner, P/K, Kansas State: The Eagles might need an upgrade from Arryn Siposs and at least Zentner would give him some competition. Zentner was a Ray Guy Award semifinalist in 2022 and averaged 44.5 yards per punt, putting 27 inside the 20. ( Kansas State punter/kicker Ty

Trevor Reid, OL, Louisville: Reid (6-4, 311 pounds) started two seasons at left tackle at Louisville.

The 6-foot-3, 237lb freak athlete posted a 42.5-inch vertical leap, 29 reps on the bench, and a 10’11” broad jump.
