Trying to understand the Special Teams positions a little on this team. Here are the top Snap counts from those that had over 200 snaps and 40% of the Special Teams snaps...

85-J.Casey PHI TE 609 170 14.5% 0 0.0% 439 84.6%
42-C.Maragos PHI DB 441 0 0.0% 15 1.3% 426 82.1%
56-B.Braman PHI LB 433 0 0.0% 9 0.8% 424 81.7%
47-T.Burton PHI TE 296 6 0.5% 0 0.0% 290 55.9%
23-N.Carroll PHI DB 646 0 0.0% 369 31.9% 277 53.4%
55-B.Graham PHI LB 737 0 0.0% 499 43.1% 238 45.9%
16-B.Smith PHI WR 275 61 5.2% 0 0.0% 214 41.2%
32-C.Polk PHI RB 311 97 8.2% 0 0.0% 214 41.2%
86-Z.Ertz PHI TE 797 587 49.9% 0 0.0% 210 40.5%

I would expect Maragos, Braman and Burton to all be back and reprise their roles.

Casey, Smith and Polk are all gone, so we can expect some opportunities for the young guys there.

Carroll, Graham and Ertz may all find that their time on defense and offense will impact their availability for Special Teams. So perhaps additional opportunities there as well.

So as many of 6 job opportunities who will make the game day 46 based on Special Teams play. The candidates... I have bolded the ones that seem most likely.
