Davis – an undrafted rookie – was recently waived by the Jets, but he will get at least one opportunity to audition for a roster spot.

The Eagles added 10 players during the draft, and their rookie class has expanded further today. Philadelphia has signed the following undrafted free agents:

The Super Bowl champions, like all other teams, made a few notable investments as part of the process of putting together their UDFA class. Pierce received $180K in guarantees, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reports. He will spend the offseason competing for a depth role behind one of the best O-lines in the NFL.

Brandon Johnson also landed a six-figure commitment from Philadelphia. Per Wilson, the 5-11, 180-pounder received $170K guaranteed. After three years at Duke, Johnson played out his senior season with the Ducks. He recorded one interception and a scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in 2024. Johnson will aim to carve out a roster spot via a special teams role.

Hook will likewise aim to earn a spot as a third phase contributor while providing depth on defense. His five-year stint at Toledo included three consecutive campaigns with first-team All-MAC honors. Hook totaled seven interceptions over that span, and in 2024 he set a new career high with 107 tackles.
