Bo WolfFeb 12, 2025
Wolf expects the Eagles to lose several key free agents: they think Mekhi Becton is the least likely to stay, that Milton Williams is very unlikely to return, and that Josh Sweat won't be back either because Philadelphia won't be the team offering the most money.

- 1Josh Sweat to move“I also don't think Josh Sweat is coming back, in part because you know, they made him take a pay cut last year... I don't think that the Eagles will be the ones who offer him the most money.”
- 2Mekhi Becton to move“So I think I think Mackai Bectam is the least likely to stay for several reasons... McKay Beckton was like a great one year bandit. I don't think that they view him as worthy of like top of the market salary”
- 3Milton Williams to move“Milton Williams, I think is also very unlikely to return... He's going to get paid this offseason. I don't think they can afford him.”
