Breaking down contract details for Eagles' UDFA class of 2026 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles drafted eight players last month and then got to work signing undrafted free agents.

In recent seasons, the Eagles have found success with undrafted players like Reed Blankenship , T.J. Edwards , Britain Covey and more. Last year, the Eagles signed Darius Cooper as a UDFA and he made the roster.
This spring, the Eagles' initial UDFA class was eight players. They have since waived safety Tucker Large with an injury designation and replaced him with undrafted LB Isiah King , but we won't include King in this list because he wasn't part of the initial class.
This year, the Eagles gave out $775,000 in guaranteed money to their initial UDFA class, according to OverTheCap . It's the lowest figure in guaranteed money since the 2021 UDFA class:
2026: $775,000 (8 players)
2025: $1,139,000 (9 players)
2024: $1,351,103 (6 players)
2023: $918,000 (9 players)
2022: $1,747,000 (12 players)
2021: $480,000 (7 players)
2020: $764,000 (13 players)

All of these UDFA contracts are standard three-year deals that come with base salaries of $885,000 in 2026, $1.05 million in 2027 and $1.165 million in 2028. If any of these UDFAs play out these initial contracts, they would become restricted free agents after the 2028 season.
The money doesn't always indicate how well these UDFAs are going to perform. Heck, Blankenship got one of the smallest sums of guaranteed money in his rookie class. But it at least tells us how much the Eagles had to pay to entice these players to come to Philly. This year, Ole Miss DB Kapena Gushiken and International Player Pathway program DE Joshua Weru were at the top of the class with $25,000 signing bonuses and total guarantees of $272,500 each.
