Key Points:
- Eagles OT Lane Johnson expressed optimism about new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, highlighting Mannion’s Shanahan/McVay-inspired system and its potential to ease blocking responsibilities for the offensive line.
- The Eagles signed running back Dameon Pierce to a one-year contract; Pierce, formerly with the Texans and Chiefs, has struggled with injuries but showed early promise in his rookie season.
- Philadelphia made strategic free-agent acquisitions of cornerback Riq Woolen, edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie, and receiver Marquise Brown, bolstering key positions after missing out on other targets.
