Former Eagles offensive lineman Brett Toth has agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal, according to a league source.
With some lingering questions about the health of their starting offensive line, the Eagles on Tuesday night lost a valuable backup.
Toth, 29, played a significant role for the Eagles in the 2025 season while both left guard Landon Dickerson and center Cam Jurgens battled injuries all year. Toth played in all 17 games in 2025 and made four starts. After playing just 224 offensive snaps in his entire career before last season, Toth played 363 for the Eagles in 2025.
“Do what they tell me to do, be an asset in the locker room, the meeting room,” Toth said before last season about his staying power. “For me, it’s been an interesting role. I’m sure you all have seen it over seven years. As a backup, you don’t really get set at one position. You just kind of work at the position that’s available, whatever they tell you to do. And just be able to kind of pass the culture along to the new guys and just impart whatever wisdom that’s been imparted on me over the years.”
Toth actually has a pretty interesting story. The Eagles first signed Toth back in 2019 out of Army when he was given a military waiver as a 22-year-old. But he was clearly a project. At Army, Toth barely ever had to pass block and then had to learn how to do it at the professional level.
The Eagles initially tried to play Toth at tackle but eventually moved him inside to guard and center. There were plenty of ups and downs during his time with the Eagles — and there were even stints with the Cardinals and Panthers — but Toth continued to develop under former offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.
While Jordan Mailata is obviously the project player Stoutland gets the most credit for developing, Toth was another success story. But earlier this offseason, Stoutland stepped down as the Eagles’ offensive line coach as the team undergoes some significant offensive changes. It’s probably fair to wonder if Toth would have returned had Stout still been his coach.
Earlier on Tuesday, Matt Pryor agreed to terms with the Cardinals. The next big question about the Eagles’ offensive line depth is about swing tackle Fred Johnson, who is also a free agent. Last offseason, Johnson left for Jacksonville in free agency but was eventually brought back to Philadelphia in a trade.
The Eagles will have their entire starting offensive line returning in 2026 — Mailata, Dickerson, Jurgens, Tyler Steen and Lane Johnson — but depth could be an issue. And with the injuries on the line last season, that’s something the Eagles might want to address.
The backups on the roster right now are Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton, Cameron Williams and Willie Lampkin. It’s possible that Kendall (a 2025 fifth-round pick) is ready to become a reliable backup interior offensive lineman in his second NFL season; he could step into Toth’s role.
