The team previously had Makai Lemon (whose contract includes a fifth-year team option by virtue of him being a first-round pick), Cole Payton, Micah Morris, Cole Wisniewski, Uar Bernard, and Keyshawn James-Newby put pen to paper during the team\u2019s rookie minicamp at the Jefferson Health Training Complex two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And so it\u2019s just third-round pick Markel Bell who remains unsigned. He\u2019ll still be able to participate in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/173178\/eagles-announce-2026-offseason-workout-schedule\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Eagles\u2019 spring workouts (including OTAs and mandatory minicamp)<\/a> even if he does not sign his contract anytime soon. The real deadline for getting Bell under contract is by training camp, which doesn\u2019t begin until sometime in late July. Still plenty of time for that to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For now, it\u2019s good to know the Eagles got some paperwork out of the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles signed tight end Eli Stowers, their second-round pick (No. 54 overall) in the 2026 NFL&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,46147,99],"class_list":["post-651002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
