While we have been focused on the Giants, what has happened in the rest of the NFC East?
The NFC East has once again been one of the most active divisions in the league during the 2025 offseason. Teams across the division have made moves, from blockbuster trades to significant departures, all of which will impact the upcoming season.
Philadelphia Eagles
Notable Signings: QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (trade), G Kenyon Green (trade), RB A.J. Dillon
Notable Departures: Edge Josh Sweat, DT Milton Williams, CB Darius Slay Jr., CB Isaiah Rodgers, RB Kenneth Gainwell, QB Kenny Pickett (trade), S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (trade)
The Eagles, coming off their second Super Bowl in franchise history, have been busy reloading their roster. They made a notable addition in signing EDGE Josh Uche to a one-year, $1.92 million deal. Uche is expected to bring versatility to the pass rush after the loss of Josh Sweat to the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles also secured linebacker Zack Baun on a three-year, $51 million contract, rewarding him for his strong performance last season. However, the team took a significant hit in their secondary with the departure of two key players: Darius Slay, a longtime defensive leader, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, whose playmaking abilities have now helped the Eagles to two deep playoff runs. To strengthen the offensive line, the Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Houston Texans in hopes of developing him into a starter, even though he struggled in Houston.
Dallas Cowboys
Notable Signings: RB Javonte Williams, DT Solomon Thomas, DE Payton Turner, DT Osa Odighizuwa (re-sign), CB Kaiir Elam (trade), LB Kenneth Murray (trade)
Notable Departures: CB Jourdan Lewis, DE DeMarcus Lawrence, OT Chuma Edoga, RB Rico Dowdle
The Cowboys have taken a more measured approach in free agency, making key moves to improve their roster. Defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa re-signed on a four-year, $80 million deal, while veteran Solomon Thomas joined on a two-year, $8 million contract. In the secondary, safety Markquese Bell was kept with a three-year, $9 million deal, and cornerback Kaiir Elam was acquired from the Buffalo Bills. On offense, returner KaVontae Turpin was re-signed to a three-year, $18 million deal, and the Cowboys strengthened their backfield by adding Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. To improve the pass rush, Dante Fowler Jr. and Payton Turner were signed on one-year deals. Additionally, Robert Jones was brought in to help on the offensive line.
Washington Commanders
Notable Signings: WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (trade), LT Laremy Tunsil (trade), DT Javon Kinlaw, CB Jonathan Jones, S Will Harris, LB Bobby Wagner (re-sign), TE Zach Ertz (re-sign), DE Deatrich Wise Jr.
Notable Departures: DT Jonathan Allen, WR Dyami Brown, S Jeremy Chinn, OT Cornelius Lucas, CB Benjamin St-Juste
The Commanders were the most active team in the division, making one of the biggest moves of the offseason by acquiring left tackle Laremy Tunsil in a trade with the Houston Texans. Tunsil is considered one of the best pass protectors in the NFL and will significantly upgrade a Commanders offensive line that struggled last season. Washington also made moves at quarterback, signing Marcus Mariota to a short-term deal to provide stability behind Jayden Daniels. Defensively, the Commanders added cornerback Jonathan Jones and edge defender Deatrich Wise Jr. to further strengthen their unit.
