Eagles salary cap: Breaking down Philadelphia’s $54 million in dead money

With the 2023 NFL offseason almost complete and training camps looming we’re breaking down the Philadelphia Eagles’ $54 million in dead cap space

The NFL’s June 1 date is just 24 hours away, and with that you can expect some trades, shocking releases and team salary caps impacted by dead money going on or off the books.

So what is dead cap?

Any future, unpaid, guaranteed salary or bonus or any already paid signing bonus that hasn’t yet been allocated to the salary cap becomes the responsibility of the team in the event of a release.

The salary cap will increase to $224.8 million for the 2023 season.

For some teams, the slight increase in cap space provides a little breathing room to retain players on expiring deals or acquire talent that could help them succeed in the upcoming season.

With OTAs underway, we’re breaking down the Eagles $54 million in dead cap space, fourth among all NFL teams.

Eagles led all 32 teams in guarantees handed out to 2022 undrafted free agents

NFL clubs handed out over $19 million in guarantees after the 2022 draft, and the Eagles led all 32 teams around the league with $1.882 million

The Eagles were left with five picks in the 2022 NFL draft after two night one trades that netted A.J. Brown and the selection of Jordan Davis.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially welcomed five new members to their roster with their 2022 NFL draft class, and the wealth of young talent that was signed to the training camp roster wasn’t reduced to just that group of players.

One week after the draft, the team announced the signings of 12 undrafted rookies free agents ahead of the rookie minicamp.

The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero just revealed a memo from the NFLPA that breaks down all the guarantees paid out to undrafted free agents last spring.

Philadelphia led all teams with $1.8 million and has a year of being the biggest spenders after the draft.

Here’s a list of the biggest undrafted free agent bonus and guarantees paid out by Howie Roseman last spring.

Eagles salary cap: Breaking down Philadelphia’s NFL leading $46 million in dead money

With the 2023 NFL offseason underway and the new league year fast approaching, we’re breaking down the Philadelphia Eagles’ $46 million in dead cap space

The NFL offseason is set to officially get underway on March 15, as Philadelphia has 18 players who will hit the open market and one ERFA who’ll be looking to return in some compacity.

Miles Sanders had a Pro Bowl season but could find big money elsewhere, while decisions will need to be made about 8 key contributors on defense.

Players like James Bradberry, Kyzir White, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Javon Hargrave will look for big paydays.

Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire took a look at the teams that owe the most to least dead money ahead of free agency and Philadelphia heads the list, while the Chiefs owe the list according to salary cap figures via Over The Cap.

Vikings’ practice squad QB David Blough signed by Arizona Cardinals

The former Lions quarterback has five starts in his career

During the preseason, the Minnesota Vikings had some quarterback issues. They initially went into training camp with Kellen Mond and Sean Mannion but it became evident that they couldn’t roll into the season with those two behind starter Kirk Cousins.

Before the season started, they traded for Nick Mullens to be the backup quarterback and signed David Blough to the practice squad as extra depth. He had appeared in seven games with five starts and threw for 1,033 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions.

With Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffering a season-ending torn ACL on Monday night, they signed Blough off of the Vikings practice squad to provide depth behind Colt McCoy for the rest of the season. They had recently signed Carson Strong to the practice squad. He ran the true Air Raid while at Nevada and will translate well to what the Cardinals run in Arizona.

With the move, the Vikings now have an open spot on their practice squad.

Broncos bring in QB Carson Strong, 4 other players for tryouts

The Broncos brought in QB Carson Strong and four other players for tryouts on Monday.

The Denver Broncos brought in five players for tryouts on Monday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

Denver hosted quarterback Carson Strong and wide receivers Bailey Gaither, Tyshaun James, Reggie Roberson, Vyncient Smith at the team’s UCHealth Training Center. After the tryout, Smith was signed to the practice squad.

After signing Smith, the team’s 16-player practice squad is now full, so Strong does not appear to be an immediate candidate to join the team. The Broncos might view him as a potential fallback option in case anything happens to one of their three quarterbacks during the season.

Strong (6-3, 226 pounds) earned Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons to close out his college career at Nevada. In three seasons (30 starts), Strong completed 68.1% of his passes for 9,379 yards and 74 touchdowns against 19 interceptions with the Wolf Pack.

After going undrafted in April, Strong signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a college free agent, but he failed to make their 53-man roster after being barely used in preseason.

Denver is carrying Russell Wilson and Brett Rypien on the active roster at the moment with Josh Johnson filling QB3 duties on the practice squad.

Eagles to waive QB Reid Sinnett

Philadelphia Eagles to waive quarterback Reid Sinnett, leaving the team with two signal-callers as the season opener approaches.

Philadelphia may enter the 2022 NFL regular season with just two quarterbacks after the team waived Reid Sinnett, per Tom Peliserro.

The Eagles gave Reid Sinnett a chance to claim the third quarterback spot and possibly stake claim to the backup job if Gardner Minshew moves on in 2023.

Even with an increase in in-game action, Sinnett completed 25 of 48 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while averaging 5.29 yards per attempt and was sacked six times.

Sinnett could return to Philadelphia’s practice squad if he clears waivers.
