Acquiring OL Kenyon Green from Houston: "Here's a guy who just turned 24 years old, who we had done a lot of work on coming into the 2022 NFL Draft. We felt like he had tools in his body, great character, and I think he'd be the first to admit that his career hasn't gotten off to the start that he'd like it to have, but we feel like he's got a chance to kind of reinvent himself and start over here in Philadelphia and that will be the opportunity for him."
Acquiring QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson from Cleveland: "It starts with Kenny Pickett and the amazing teammate he was here and the year that he had as an Eagle and helping us win a Championship and, really, achieving a lifelong dream of not only winning a Championship, but doing it in an Eagles uniform. The Browns were aggressive in trying to acquire him and the opportunity that he has in Cleveland is probably better, certainly, than he has in Philadelphia. It was kind of a win-win situation there. In the course of the conversations, the window opened to also bring in a developmental quarterback in Dorian Thompson-Robinson and that was something we were interested in."
Signing RB A.J. Dillon: "Talented guy, out last year with an injury, seems healthy, determined to succeed. He's a great complement to the guys we have here – obviously, Saquon is in a league of his own and we drafted Will Shipley last year and we're very confident in Will with what he did last year as a personal protector on punts having never made a tackle in his life and playing as well as he played on special teams, and then when he had time on the field at running back he had a couple of long runs and we are excited to see what he can do."
Signing LB Joshua Uche: "This is a guy that we've had our eye on for some time. We were interested in him as a free agent last year and he decided to go back to New England. At the trade deadline, he was traded and we had some interest there at that time, too, but felt we had a good rotation going with the edge group. Joshua is a talented guy with a great work ethic who has shown the ability to get to the quarterback."
Signing TE Harrison Bryant: "A lot of these guys, when they hit free agency, you've done a lot of work on them as they enter the NFL Draft and we did a lot of work on Harrison at that time. He has a dual-skill set in that he can block and he can run routes and catch. He was probably known a little more for that part of his game when he played at Florida Atlantic. You see him in some of the positions that we ask our tight ends to be in here and the roles that we ask them to play."
Signing CB Adoree' Jackson: "Another guy that we've had a lot of conversations about to bring to Philadelphia through the years and we've always had tremendous respect for his skill set. The first thing you think about with Adoree' is his ability to run. He's an extremely twitched-up, fast guy with really great movement and ball skills. I've said this to him, that I don't know that we've seen the best of him in his career yet, so we get excited to get those kinds of guys who have that kind of talent in their body and are determined to come here and work hard, so it's a great opportunity for him and for us."
