The Philadelphia Eagles have huge expectations as they enter the 2020 NFL season and while the business will need to be handled on the field, Howie Roseman and company will need to handle some huge business off the field as well.
ESPN’s Field Yates just revealed which NFL teams have the most money committed to salary cap space for the 2021 season, and the Eagles were tops on the list at $267 million already spread out
Teams with the most money already committed to the 2021 salary cap:
1. Eagles: $267.3M
2. Saints: $250.1M
3. Falcons: $214.9M
4. Chiefs: $200.7M
5. Texans: $197.5M— Field Yates (@FieldYates) July 17, 2020
In a breakdown of salaries and bonuses from OverTheCap, Carson Wentz, Fletcher Cox, Zach Ertz, Lane Johnson, and Alshon Jeffery currently hold the largest base salaries and cap hits.
The Eagles will likely look to either restructure or extend Fletcher Cox, while Zach Ertz, Brandon Brooks, Lane Johnson, and a bevy of other players could also be facing restructured deals, contract extensions or flat-out release.
The Eagles situation gets even direr if the salary cap shrinks due to the loss of income stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
Howie Roseman has his work cut out for him going forward.
