Every day from now until the start of training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Eagles for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025, and tackle the most significant question facing them this year.

Eagles announce the signing of offensive tackle Kendall Lamm to a one-year deal
Eagles announce the signing of offensive tackle Kendall Lamm to a one-year deal The Eagles shored up the depth along the offensive line by adding a veteran offensive tackle, signing former Dolphins offensive tackle Kendall Lamm to a one-year deal. The Eagles announced on Tuesday that they signed former Rams offensive tackle Kendall Lamm to a one-year deal. This move adds more depth to an offensive line that saw three players depart. The Inquirer's Jeff McLane first reported the deal. A 10-year veteran who played the past three seasons in Miami, Lamm could compete for the swing tackle spot after Fred Johnson departed in free agency. According to Pro Football Focus, in the 2024 season, Lamm ranked first among tackles with zero sacks allowed and 10th among tackles with a pass-blocking grade of 83.1. Lamm was signed by the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2015. He spent four seasons in Houston before playing for the Browns in 2019 and 2020. After a one-year stint with the Titans in 2021, Lamm joined the Dolphins in 2022, where he has spent the last three seasons, playing 33 games. Lamm will compete with Darian Kinnard and Laekin Vakalahi for the backup offensive tackle spot.

Dolphins OT says he's not planning on retiring after all
Dolphins OT says he's not planning on retiring after all Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Kendall Lamm is planning on playing an 11th NFL season, he revealed on Instagram. "Now I will shut up and go to that gym," Lamm said, via Alain Poupart of SI. "Yes, I'm progressing smooth. Yes, I'm able to push a weight. The boy was pushing nine plates on the sled today. It's coming. Let's believe year 11 going to be a real thing one way or another. It's always going to rise if you put the work in, and that's what we need to do." Lamm, 32, talked about retiring after the 2023 season, but opted to return for 2024, which he said would be "the last ride for me." But it wasn't a smooth season for the veteran swing tackle, who ended the year on injured reserve due to a back issue. But even if he returns to play in 2025, Lamm's time with the Dolphins may be over. The veteran lineman is set to become a free agent later this month and Miami has vowed to invest in the offensive line this offseason. "We're just older there now," Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said in January. "So yes, this is the time, like we did a few years ago ... this is the time for us to invest in some offensive lineman." Still, since joining the Dolphins in 2022, Lamm has proven to be a reliable and versatile veteran, who has stepped in as a starter at both left and right tackle, when needed. It cost Miami just $2.6 million to bring back Lamm last offseason and would likely be even cheaper to keep him in 2025.
