On the Monday after the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft, the deadline for unrestricted free-agent signings to count toward the compensatory pick formula was reached. Any players signed after that deadline do not count toward the formula, and so, the teams that will receive compensatory picks will mostly be known, with some wiggle room for changes due to in-season factors like playing time, for example.
Now that we've reached the deadline, the short answer to the question posed in the headline is... drumroll... None. Apologies if you were hoping for a more satisfying answer.
Using OverTheCap's compensatory pick cancellation chart (via the great Nick Korte), the Eagles have two qualifying CFAs (compensatory free agents) lost. They have six qualifying CFAs gained. In chart form:
| CFAs lost (APY) - Projected round | CFAs gained (APY) - Projected round |
| RB D'Andre Swift ($8 million) - 6 | EDGE Bryce Huff (17 million) - 4 |
| QB Marcus Mariota ($6 million) - 6 | RB Saquon Barkley ($12.6 million) - 5 |
| S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson ($11 million) - 5 | |
| LB Devin White ($4 million) - 6 | |
| LB Zack Baun ($3.5 million) - 7 | |
| OT Mekhi Becton ($2.75 million) - 7 |
Because they have more qualifying players gained than lost, they will not receive any comp picks. This is a basic compensatory pick rule, and one that is somehow still commonly misunderstood, even by national reporters. For example:
Haason Reddick does not have a new deal with the Jets and is now entering the last year of his contract. If the Jets don’t extend him and he leaves in free agency, the Jets would get a compensatory pick. So they’re giving up a pick and if they lose him, would get one back. https://t.co/annxZ6y7ii

(More accurately, if Reddick leaves in free agency next offseason — and he is not canceled out within the comp pick formula by a player signed by the Jets in free agency — then the Jets would get a comp pick.)
Even without any extra projected comp picks, the Eagles currently have nine picks in the 2025 draft, shown here:
| Round | How acquired |
| 1 | Eagles' own pick |
| 2 | Eagles' own pick |
| 3 | Eagles' own pick |
| 3 | From Dolphins |
| 4 | From Lions |
| 5 | Eagles' own pick |
| 5 | From Texans |
| 7 | PHI, ATL, NO, or DEN |
| 7 | PHI, ATL, NO, or DEN |
They acquired three extra picks via trades during the 2024 draft, in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds.
• They traded a fourth-round pick in 2024 (120th overall) to the Dolphins for a third-round pick in 2025.
• They traded a fourth-round pick in 2024 (123rd overall) to the Texans for the 127th overall pick in 2024 and a fifth-round pick in 2025.
• They traded a fourth-round pick in 2024 (132nd overall) and a sixth-round pick in 2024 (210th overall) to the Lions for a fifth-round pick in 2024 (164th overall), a sixth-round pick in 2024 (201st overall), and a 2025 fourth-round pick.
