Eagles salary cap breakdown entering 2023 NFL season

We’re breaking down the Philadelphia’s salary cap situation ahead of training camp, as we’ll chart the Eagles dead money, positional spending and current outlook

The salary cap will exceed a record high of $224 million in 2023, and where things currently stand, Philadelphia now has a little over $13 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap.

The Eagles quietly made some noise during the 2023 NFL free agency period, inking Rashaad Penny, Terrell Edmunds, Justin Evans, Kentavius Street, Greedy Williams, Nicholas Morrow, and Marcus Mariota to deals during the first wave.

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 training camp fast approaching, here’s an updated look at Philadelphia’s salary cap space.

The Eagles have yet to play a regular-season game in 2023, but it’s never too soon for an early look at the key players entering the final year of their contracts.

Early look at the salary cap hits for Eagles’ All-Pro QB Jalen Hurts over the next four years

Jalen Hurts’ five-year, $255 million deal with the Eagles is beyond team-friendly, with the first four years (2023-2026) not having a salary cap hit over $32 million.

The details are all in the numbers, and the first three years of Jalen Hurts’ new five-year, $255 million deal are very cap friendly.

Adam Schefter revealed the salary cap hits for the next four seasons, and Hurts won’t go over $32 million a season until 2027.
