Derek Barnett is in a tight battle for a spot in the Eagles’ edge rush rotation, and with Day 3 of training camp set for Friday, the veteran restructured his contract on Thursday.
Barnett suffered a season-ending torn ACL last year during a Week 1 win over the Lions.
According to Over The Cap, Barnett was previously due a $7.5M salary ($1.5M guaranteed) with up to $1M in per-game bonuses (max value $8.5M) for the final year of his contract.
The former Tennessee Vols star will now make a $3.5M guaranteed salary, with $250K in per-game bonuses and up to $2.25M in incentives (max value $6M).
Here are three early takeaways from the move.
