Reuben Frank and Dave Zangaro bring back Stay or Go in 2026, trying to figure out the futures of every Eagles player on the roster.
We already took a look, at quarterback, running back, receiver and tight end.
Up today: Interior offensive line.
Landon Dickerson
Roob: I’ll be surprised if Dickerson really does walk away from football at 27 years old after five seasons, three Pro Bowls and a ton of injuries. I guess anything is possible and I can imagine how frustrating it’s been to deal with being hurt all the time, not just with the Eagles but throughout his college career both at Florida State and Alabama. But Dickerson is such a competitor and I just feel like once he heals up over the next couple months that he’ll decide he wants to continue playing. The Eagles sure need the Landon Dickerson of 2022 through 2024 back.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: It certainly seems possible that Dickerson could walk away from football at just 27 years old. In the locker room after the loss to the 49ers, his future definitely seemed in question and some reporting this offseason has furthered that thought. But eventually, I think Dickerson will take a step back and if his body feels good enough, will try to play again. Just a hunch. He signed a four-year, $84 million extension last March and has played at a high level when he’s healthier. If he does return, the next question is whether or not he can stay healthy enough to get back to that Pro Bowl level. He just wasn’t that guy in 2025 and it was a big reason for the Eagles’ offensive struggles. If he can return to form, it would go a long way.
Verdict: Stays
Cam Jurgens
Roob: The Eagles also need a healthy Cam Jurgens back after he struggled through a down year in 2025 coming off back surgery. He just wasn’t the same player this past year as he was the previous two years. The difference between Dickerson and Jurgens is that Dickerson has had a long series of injuries to every limb he’s got. With Jurgens, it’s just the back and even though he was healthy enough to play in 2025 he wasn’t himself. But there’s no reason to believe that with a healthy offseason he can come back and regain his form in 2026. The Eagles sure need him to.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: Same as Dickerson. The Eagles would really benefit if Jurgens can be healthier and get back to his 2024 form. He somehow made the Pro Bowl but his play clearly dropped off from the Super Bowl season. During that Super Bowl season, Jurgens played through a painful back injury that required surgery in the offseason. The biggest fear is that the back injury is something that Jurgens will never be able to overcome completely to get back to his level of play in the 2024 season. The Eagles have to hope both Jurgens and Dickerson can play better this upcoming season.
Verdict: Stays
Drew Kendall
Roob: I think the Eagles like Kendall, the third of their three 5th-round picks in 2024, as a backup center prospect. He got mop-up duty at the end of the Raiders game and played that second Washington game and it seemed like he held his own. Will he ever be a starting-caliber center? Probably not. But I’d expect him to be around a while as a backup.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: The Eagles drafted Kendall with a fifth-round pick out of Boston College but he didn’t get to play much. Just 89 offensive snaps all season. But when he did play, Kendall looked fine and he also had a good rookie training camp. So he appears like a player who is worth continuing to develop.
Verdict: Stays
Willie Lampkin
Roob: An intriguing guy at 5-foot-11, 290 pounds, Lampkin spent the summer with the Rams before the Eagles picked him up. Unfortunately, we never got to see Lampkin play because he was on IR all year with knee and ankle injuries he suffered in a preseason game with the Rams vs. the Chargers after a promising training camp. Will be fun watching him in training camp but ultimately doubt he’ll find his way to the 53.
Verdict: Goes
Dave: I’m intrigued by Willie Lampkin, whom the Eagles list at 5-foot-11 and that might be generous. The Eagles claimed Lampkin early last season after he was released by the Rams and he was on IR all season, although he did get a three-week window to practice. The Eagles could run into a numbers crunch on the O-line and they might have to try to sneak him through to waivers. This is a wild guess because we haven’t even seen Lampkin in a training camp practice yet, but I’ll have him staying. Lampkin has a unique blend of leverage and strength and I can’t wait to watch him in training camp.
Verdict: Stays
Jake Majors
Roob: Majors, a five-year starter at center at Texas, spent his rookie season on the Eagles’ practice squad after starting out in training camp as an undrafted rookie with the Bucs. He’s known as a smart, savvy interior lineman who set a Longhorns record with 56 career starts. Like Lampkin, training camp in 2026 will be our first chance to see him in action, and he’ll have a shot at competing for a roster spot, but he remains a longshot.
Verdict: Goes
Dave: After going undrafted, the Buccaneers signed Jake Majors but he was released and final cuts. The Eagles signed him to their practice squad in September and he spent most of the season there. We don’t have much to go off here, but he’s facing an uphill battle.
Verdict: Goes
Matt Pryor
Roob: I don’t really understand what happened to Pryor. All the analytics had him playing very well at guard for the Bears in 2024, but the Eagles preferred him at tackle, and he actually got the first crack at right tackle before Fred Johnson after Lane Johnson got hurt, and that did not go well. Pryor was seriously overmatched. I expected Pryor to be a solid backup, but that never happened, and I can’t imagine he’ll be back.
Verdict: Goes
Dave: One of the strangest decisions all season came in Week 3 when Lane Johnson had to leave the Rams game early and the Eagles decided to play Matt Pryor at right tackle. It didn’t go well and eventually they put Fred Johnson in there and things settled down. The Eagles have always tried to make Pryor a tackle and he has never been very good at it. He provided some depth and versatility on a one-year deal in 2025 but it’s time to move on.
Verdict: Goes
Tyler Steen
Roob: Played well this year, and he may not be the massive run blocking machine that Mekhi Becton was, but Steen was a solid and consistent presence at right guard in his first season as an NFL starter on an offensive line that was beset by injuries and inconsistent play. Steen is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but I think he’s the kind of guy the Eagles are going to want to lock up for the long haul.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: The truth is that Tyler Steen wasn’t the Eagles’ weakest link on the offensive line in 2025. In fact, he was a perfectly fine starting right guard. He isn’t as massive or strong as Mekhi Becton, whom Steen replaced, but Steen ended up being a solid starter in his third NFL season. (He also tried to fight an entire team full of Commanders and that was fun.) The former third-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie deal and should be the starter at right guard again in 2026.
Verdict: Stays
Brett Toth
Roob: I’ve probably listed Toth as a “Goes” each of the last six years, but I give the dude credit for hammering himself into a pretty good NFL interior lineman after years of getting cut, bouncing around to other teams and toiling away on the practice squad. After playing 224 snaps in his first six seasons, he played 363 this past year split pretty evenly between left guard and center, and he showed he can be a viable player. He’ll be 30 this coming season, but if Dickerson really does retire I would expect Toth to be in the mix to replace him at left guard. One of Jeff Stoutland’s greatest triumphs, an undrafted run blocker from Army who has become a solid NFL interior lineman.
Verdict: Stays
Dave: The Eagles had a bunch of problems on their offensive line last season but they were lucky to have Brett Toth. The 29-year-old played in every game this season and started 4. He played a career-high 363 offensive snaps and acquitted himself very well. He’s a free agent but as long as another team doesn’t try to pry him away, the Eagles should absolutely want to bring him back for this next season. Former OL coach Jeff Stoutland (that still feels weird) began working with Toth in 2019 and we saw the fruits of that labor last season.
Verdict: Stays
