Off season
With the war restrictions over, the Eagles moved training camp from the West Chester State Teachers College (now West Chester University) in West Chester, Pennsylvania, to Saranac High School Field in (Saranac Lake, New York).

NFL draft
The 1946 NFL Draft was held on January 14, 1946. The Eagles had the seventh or eighth picks in the thirty-two rounds of this draft. The top five teams in the league from the previous season were not awarded draft picks in rounds two or four, but were instead given compensatory, low value picks in the thirty-first and thirty-second rounds. As a result, the Eagles made thirty selections during this draft.

The overall number one pick in the draft was made by the Boston Yanks, which chose Frank Dancewicz, a quarterback from the University of Notre Dame.
