Philadelphia Eagles Make Moves Ahead of Season, Signing 11 Players to Futures Contracts
The Philadelphia Eagles have been busy in the offseason, announcing the signing of eight players and three more to futures contracts. The team has added depth to its roster with a mix of experienced veterans and young talent.
Among the newly signed players is fullback Carson Steele, who caught the attention of coaches during his time at UCLA. With his impressive strength, speed, and agility, Steele is expected to contribute in short-yardage situations. Although he had a rocky start with the Chiefs last season, he spent the 2025 season on their practice squad.
The Eagles also signed offensive tackle John Ojukwu, who has experience starting games for the Titans. While his performance was not consistent, he offers a potential option for the team's offense.
On the other hand, nine of the players signed to futures contracts were already part of the Eagles' practice squad. Among these are Gabe Hall, Chance Campbell, and Brandon Johnson, all of whom showed promise during training camp but failed to secure regular playing time this season.
The Eagles seem to be building a strong fullback corps, with Steele joining Ben VanSumeren and Cameron Latu in the mix. As for Ojukwu, he provides an additional option at tackle.
With these signings, the Eagles are preparing for another competitive season ahead. While some of the new players may face stiff competition for roster spots, they bring much-needed depth to the team's depth chart.

. Think it's gonna be an interesting season with all these new faces... Carson Steele is definitely one to watch, he seems like a beast on the field 
! Not sure what to make of John Ojukwu though, hopes he can live up to his experience 
. Anyways, looks like the Eagles are building depth and that's always a good thing... fingers crossed for them this season 
[
. Plus, adding more depth at tackle can't hurt. The Eagles are definitely building a strong foundation for the upcoming season 
I mean, how many "breakout stars" have we seen in the NFL that end up on practice squads? 
And what makes me think these 9 guys who were already on the practice squad are gonna magically make it onto the active roster just because they got futures contracts? 
seems like a pretty shallow way to build depth, you know? 
his skills could really help in short-yardage situations... and john ojukwu seems like an interesting addition at tackle... still not sure about the futures contracts though 
! Carson Steele is gonna be a beast in short-yardage situations, and John Ojukwu is a solid backup tackle 
]
And don't get me wrong, adding Ojukwu and Steele is cool, but I'm still wondering how Gabe Hall and Chance Campbell landed two more spots. Did they just magically improve over the offseason? 
The Eagles are really upping their game this offseason and adding some serious firepower to that offense! 
the eagles are trying to cover up something with all these signings lol. like, why do they need so many fullbacks? it's not like they're gonna make the playoffs just because of a few extra guys on the roster 
i'm also lowkey skeptical about carson steele... did he really have that rocky start with the chiefs last season? it seems too convenient 
.
!
and I was reading about NASA's plans to send humans back to the moon by 2028... can you believe it? 
the eagles have a history of losing key players mid-season too
, i'm low-key excited to see how he plays. And yeah Ben VanSumeren & Cameron Latu already had dat spot locked up 
, but more options @ tackle never hurts 
? I mean, I get it, people are passionate about their teams and all that, but come on... there's so many other interesting topics to discuss around here. And don't even get me started on how outdated the formatting is - can we switch to something more modern like Discord or Slack already?
