Eagles create $2.4M in cap space by paying Jason Kelce a $3M bonus

The Eagles now have over $10 million in salary cap space after paying Jason Kelce a $3 million bonus ahead of NFL free agency

The Eagles and 31 other NFL teams are preparing for the start of free agency, and as Jason Kelce takes time to decide his future, his organization just paid a nice post-Super Bowl bonus.

With the new league year set to begin, Philadelphia paid Kelce a roster and workout bonus totaling $3 million, with the move creating $2.4 in cap space.

The league salary cap is expected to exceed $224 million in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $8 million in cap space.

The Birds are set to have 18 pending free agents, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

According to Over the Cap’s potential transaction chart, the Eagles can easily create $33,243,035 in cap space by making these six moves.
