Early look at the 15 biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2023

With the new league year fast approaching, we’re taking an early look at the Philadelphia Eagles’ 15 biggest salary cap hits for the 2023 NFL season

The 2022 season is a wrap and Philadelphia is looking ahead after a 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, which means the focus now shifts to reshaping the roster during a busy NFL offseason.

The salary cap will exceed a record high of $224 million in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $10 million in cap space, via OverTheCap.

Philadelphia can create about $33 million in salary cap space by making a handful of moves and restructures.

Right now, the Eagles have 47 players currently under contract for 2023. Here’s an early look at the 15 biggest cap hits for this upcoming season.

PFF: Eagles’ biggest offseason need is depth at the cornerback position

PFF recently looked at the biggest offseason need for all 32 NFL teams and depth at cornerback was the biggest need for the Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles and 31 other teams around the league are diligently prepping for the NFL draft, and before that, NFL free agency.

Howie Roseman’s club has 18 pending free agents, and an All-Pro quarterback looking for a contract extension after finally earning franchise signal-caller status.

Philadelphia will have several needs entering the 2023 NFL season, but PFF believes cornerback depth is currently the most pressing concern.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: CORNERBACK DEPTH
Signing James Bradberry for pennies on the dollar was one of the shrewdest moves the Eagles made last offseason. They were able to snare another team’s cap casualty and bring in an impact player for a bargain price.

They could tie Bradberry to a much more lucrative contract, but if they value his low cost, cornerback becomes an area of need. Bradberry allowed just 46.8% of the passes thrown into his coverage to be caught this season for a passer rating of 51.4.

Philadelphia still has Darius Slay under contract, along with Avonte Maddox as starters heading into the offseason and free agency.

The Eagles also have Mario Goodrich, Josh Jobe, Zech McPhearson, and Josiah Scott on the current roster.
