The Eagles announced Friday that they signed a pair of offensive linemen draft picks, versatile C/OG/OT Isaac Seumalo (3rd round) and OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai (5th round).
On Wednesday, the Eagles were able to sign RB Wendell Smallwood (5th round), S Blake Countess (6th round), S Jalen Mills (7th round), DE Alex McCalister (7th round), and LB Joe Walker (7th round).
The only remaining unsigned player is No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz.
When the new Collective Bargaining Agreement was signed, one of the positives that came from it was that rookie contracts were essentially predetermined, leaving no wiggle room for negotiations that would lead to training camp holdouts by rookie draft picks.
Here is what each player will count for against the cap, as estimated by overthecap.com. We'll include Wentz, who again, has not yet signed.
