Breaking down the Eagles $52 million in dead money

Breaking down the Philadelphia Eagles’ $52 million in dead money on the 2022 salary cap

One of the most important off-season’s in Eagles franchise history is complete and with Carson Wentz’s dead money off the books, the Birds are looking at much greener pastures from a salary cap standpoint moving forward.

After the salary cap decreased from $198.2 million in 2020 to $182.5 million in 2021 due to the COVID-19 impact, the cap rose to $208.2 million in 2022.

There are still a few issues, with a total of 14 current or former Eagles accounting for almost $53 million in dead cap space.
