The Eagles had a contingency plan in place when two of their franchise pillars, Kelce and Fletcher Cox, retired in the offseason. They spent a 2022 second-round pick on Jurgens. Then, in 2023, they drafted Jalen Carter No. 9 overall. Both Jurgens and Carter were named starters in the Pro Bowl in their first seasons in their new full-time roles.

The NFL announced the Pro Bowl rosters for the AFC and NFC, and the Philadelphia Eagles had six players make the roster, led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Carter. Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, Jalen Carter, Lane Johnson, Landon Dickerson, and Cam Jurgens made the roster, and Carter, Baun, and Jurgens made the list for the first time.

Baun had primarily been used as an edge rusher and special teamer, and depth at a relatively small salary cap hit — $1.6 million — was on the mind when Howie Roseman signed Baun. The Eagles, though, got much more than they bargained for.

The Pro Bowl will have 6 Philadelphia Eagles, including 3 first timers this year. See which Birds made the team and who got snubbed.

Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowlers Saquon Barkley and Jalen Carter were named Wednesday to the NFLPA's 3rd annual All-Pro team.

Running back Saquon Barkley and interior defensive lineman Jalen Carter earned the nod for the Birds and, quite frankly, you can’t argue with either selection. This was the first time either made this team.
