What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with free agent safeties Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray. Epps returns to Philly after stints with the Raiders, where he suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 of 2025. Gray, a special teams standout from the Saints with 103 career games, bolsters the back end.

Why it matters: These low-risk signings follow the trade of Sydney Brown to the Falcons, signaling a shift to reliability over youth in a critical secondary position prone to injuries. Historically, Epps stabilized Eagles' defense in 2022 playoffs.
