The Alshon Jeffery era is over in Philadelphia, as the Eagles have officially parted ways with the talented wide receiver.
Cutting Jeffery clears out nearly $7 million in cap space, with $10.51 in dead money that would count.
When healthy, Jeffery is one of the best receivers in the NFL and is the third-highest graded wideout in the red zone since 2017 (82.3), behind Davante Adams and Adam Thielen.
Jeffery restructured his contract in January, making his base salary $2 million, while reducing his cap number to $7 million, along with the dead money, as well – a total savings of $10.8 million.
The Eagles will save about $20 million in cap space after cutting Jeffery and Malik Jackson with post-June 1 designations.
