15 Biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2022

Looking at the 15 Biggest salary cap hits for the #Philadelphia #Eagles in 2022

The Philadelphia Eagles have an important offseason ahead and with Carson Wentz’s dead money coming off, the Birds are looking at much greener pastures from a salary cap standpoint.

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 is expected to rise to around $208.2 million in 2022.

Where things currently stand, the Eagles are expected to have roughly $14 million in cap space, and there are some players with pretty substantial cap hits heading into 2022, some of whom could be potential cap casualties.

Here’s a look at the 15 biggest cap hits on the books for the Eagles in 2022, courtesy of Spotrac.

1 pending free agent each NFL team should bring back in 2022

#NFL free agency 2022 starts just over two months from now. Here’s a look at who teams should keep among their pending free agents.

NFL contracts not signed beyond 2021 expire at 4 p.m. ET on March 16, meaning that teams have from the end of the season until that time to sign their pending free agents to contract extensions. A few will get tagged (the franchise tag period begins Feb. 22), some will get extensions, but it’s a good bet most of the players set to reach unrestricted free agency will do so.

But if we were in charge, these are the players we’d keep — one per team as decided by the NFL Wire staff.

Avonte Maddox on Dallas Goedert still buying dinner after signing huge contract extension

Eagles’ Avonte Maddox says Dallas Goedert is still buying dinner after both roommates sign new deals

The Eagles created an interesting scenario this week when they signed both Avonte Maddox and Dallas Goedert to contract extension.

A likely first in professional sports contract history, Goedert and Maddox have actually been roommates since being drafted in the 2018 class, and now they’re both rich enough to purchase individual mansions if they choose.

Goedert signed his deal first, and upon hearing the numbers, Maddox joked that Goedert would be paying for dinners in the foreseeable future.

After signing his own new contract, Maddox again joked that Goedert still has to pay for Dinner since his contract is for almost $27 million more.

Both players are competing at an elite level and the Eagles franchise is the true winner after locking up two core pieces.

Hours after signing Dallas Goedert to a contract extension, the Eagles have also agreed to a new three-year deal with cornerback Avonte Maddox.

Maddox is the 22nd highest-graded cornerback in the NFL according to PFF and could be in line for a 4-year extension with a base value of $20 million with almost $9 million in full guarantee at signing.

Maddox is top-15 in the NFL in catches allowed (33), his 45 tackles are 10th among cornerbacks, and he’s also logged four pass breakups, an interception, and two forced fumbles.

With Darius Slay getting older and Steven Nelson set to be a free agent, locking up Maddox long-term is a wise investment.

With Goedert under contract until 2025, here are takeaways and observations from the move.
