We have signed OT Markel Bell. All eight 2026 Draft picks are now under contract. https://t.co/AyXpCLTjq0

What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles announced they have signed offensive tackle Markel Bell. With Bell's deal done, all eight of the team's 2026 draft picks are now under contract.

Why it matters: Getting the full draft class signed before the offseason program ramps up removes any contract uncertainty heading into training camp. For an Eagles team that prioritizes the offensive and defensive lines, adding a tackle to the developmental pipeline reinforces depth up front for the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch for where Bell lands on the depth chart and how he competes for a roster or practice-squad spot once camp opens.
