As the Eagles begin a massive rebuild of their roster, Howie Roseman has given the fans hope with several quality signings during the offseason free agency period.
Whether it’s Ryan Kerrigan, Eric Wilson or Anthony Harris, Philadelphia’s general manager has taken the steps to keep the roster competitive, while Nick Sirianni’s young staff develops along with his players.
Roseman’s penchant for pushing money back, restructuring, or manipulating the salary cap will continue to bite the Eagles heading into the future, and a Pro Football Focus breakdown of a three-year period puts things in perspective.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES – RANK: 29
The Eagles are in a full-scale rebuild, but the good news is they’ve been as aggressive in their rebuild efforts as they were when they attempted to chase a second Super Bowl after 2017. Philadelphia has an extra 2022 first-round pick from the Miami Dolphins in the draft trade for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and an extra 2022 conditional second-round pick from the Indianapolis Colts that could become a first-round pick for quarterback Carson Wentz.Their cap is frankly a disaster, with more prorated bonus money through 2023 and more total money allocated to void years than any other club, but they’re doing all they can to get through to the other side quickly.
Only the Texans, Saints, and Bears currently own a worse cap situation going forward, but as the Eagles start to part ways with some well-known veterans, those money issues should start to even themselves out, starting with Wentz’s dead money dissolving in 2022.
