A few days after announcing jersey numbers for their 2025 NFL Draft picks and undrafted rookie free agent signings, the Philadelphia Eagles officially revealed jersey numbers for their non-rookie offseason additions.

There are also multiple returning players who changed their numbers.

Here’s an overview with our signature #JerseyNumberAnalytics to follow.

VETERAN ADDITIONS

CB Adoree’ Jackson – 8

EDGE Joshua Uche – 13

QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson – 14

RS Avery Williams – 18

RB AJ Dillon – 29

WR Terrace Marshall – 46

LS Charley Hughlett – 47

TE Cameron Latu – 49

EDGE Azeez Ojulari – 52

OT Kendall Lamm – 74

OG Kenyon Green – 76

OL Matt Pryor – 79

TE Kylen Granson – 83

TE Harrison Bryant – 85

WR Elijah Cooks – 86

RETURNING PLAYER CHANGE

WR Jahan Dotson – 2 (used to be 83)

CB Kelee Ringo – 7 (used to be 22)

CB Parry Nickerson – 34 (used to be 30)

FB Ben VanSumeren – 43 (used to be 57)

LB Dallas Gant – 57 (used to be 52)

OG Trevor Keegan – 77 (used to be 79)

WR Danny Gray – 80 (used to be 41)

NOT LISTED

EDGE Patrick Johnson

RB Lew Nichols

ANALYSIS

As the preeminent authority on all things related to #JerseyNumberAnalytics, here are my incredibly important takes.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson switched from being No. 23 in 2022 to No. 8 in 2024. Now Adoree’ Jackson is the new No. 8. Jackson’s aesthetic at USC in No. 2 looked good but I don’t see the single digit translating well here. The Eagles’ No. 8 just isn’t a great look in their jersey font (except for their Kelly Green uniforms). I don’t know if Jackson will be able to have success in No. 8.
What is Joshua Uche doing? He went from previously wearing numbers in the 50s to now wearing No. 13. He has no chance of succeeding in that number. I guess he wanted to be bold and try to carve out a path as the first Eagles defender to ever wear No. 13.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson wore No. 1 at UCLA (obviously taken in Philly) and No. 17 on the Cleveland Browns (obviously taken in Philly). So, he had to go with a new number and No. 14 is OK for a player fighting to be QB3. It’s better than Kyle McCord in No. 19. DTR is the first Eagles quarterback in No. 14 since A.J. Feeley. No. 14 became available with Kenny Gainwell leaving Philly to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Avery Williams is listed as “RS” (for return specialist) on the Eagles’ official website roster page. Nick Sirianni really talked him up at the owners meetings. And now he’s wearing No. 18, which was previously worn by Britain Covey (who just signed with the Los Angeles Rams). Good signs for Williams thus far.
The first thought that came to mind for AJ Dillon wearing No. 29 is DeMarco Murray once wearing that number. Yikes. But then I quickly flushed that bad memory from my mind by thinking of LeGarrette Blount wearing No. 29 in 2017. Blount was obviously a big, bruising back at 6’0”, 247 pounds. Dillon is also listed at 6’0”, 247 pounds. So, Dillon is the new Blount confirmed.
A number in the 40s is tough for a wide receiver. Not a good sign for Terrace Marshall’s chances of sticking around.
Charley Hughlett wore No. 47 with the Browns. Makes sense that he’d wear it again in Philly. Consistency is a quality you want to see from your long snapper.
Cameron Latu has no chance to make the roster as a tight end wearing No. 49. The Eagles haven’t had an offensive player with that number since Boston Scott in 2018.
Don’t love No. 52 for Azeez Ojulari. He was No. 51 on the New York Giants and No. 13 at Georgia (how didn’t he get that number over Uche?). No. 52 has been an off-ball linebacker number (and not a very successful one) for the Eagles for some time. The last defensive lineman to wear No. 52 was Daniel Te’o-Nesheim (RIP) in 2010.
Kendall Lamm going for No. 74 is a savvy veteran move. He’s coming to Philly to try to replace Fred Johnson as the swing tackle. Johnson wore No. 74.
Kenyon Green wore No. 76 on the Houston Texans. He shouldn’t be keeping his old number as he looks to turn the page on his struggles.
No. 79 is an underrated number and thus a good get for Matt Pryor. Previously worn by the likes of Brandon Brooks and Todd Herremans, Pryor is in a good spot to make the roster.
Kylen Granson wore No. 83 with the Indianapolis Colts, so he’s carrying that number over to Philly. It’s not a very interesting tight end number.
No. 85 is a solid look for Harrison Bryant. If the Eagles end up moving on from Dallas Goedert, he could look to move to No. 88 since he wore that number for the first four years of his career.
No. 86 is a wildly good get for Elijah Cooks, a player who’s currently considered to be one of the longest long shots to make the roster.
Jahan Dotson used to wear No. 5 at Penn State. If you turn a 5 upside down, it looks like a 2. So, there’s that. Maybe a new number will encourage Jalen Hurts to throw his way more often in 2025. As could an offseason of the two working on building chemistry with each other.
What is Kelee Ringo doing?! No. 22 was a great look for him, especially after he originally had to wear No. 37. Why the change to No. 7? Strange. Stock down move.
Parry Nickerson wore No. 34 with the Miami Dolphins in 2023. So, he’s going back to that look.
Ben VanSumeren, now listed as a full-time fullback and not a linebacker, is No. 43. That’s OK. Leonard Weaver used to have that number. I thought No. 45 would’ve been ideal for BVS.
Dallas Gant is smart to switch from No. 52 to No. 57. The latter number has seen more Eagles linebacker success recently, comparatively speaking.
Trevor Keegan going from No. 79 to No. 77 is a downgrade. He wore No. 77 at Michigan, so, I get it … but he would’ve been best served to keep No. 79.
Danny Gray goes from being practice squad fodder in No. 41 to an actual contender to make the roster in No. 80. Have to take him much more seriously now.
Not sure why Patrick Johnson and Lew Nichols aren’t listed here. Johnson previously wore No. 48, which is currently open. Nichols wore No. 38 last summer, which is currently worn by Lewis Cine.
