6 toughest decisions for Eagles GM Howie Roseman this offseason

We’re looking at the six toughest 2024 NFL offseason decisions for Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and after a 32-9 wild card loss to Tampa Bay, the focus will shift to reshaping the roster after adding two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

The 2024 cap is expected to exceed $240 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $20,284,984 in cap space.

The Birds are set to have 20 pending free agents, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

Over The Cap recently looked at the top 100 players who could be cut or released due to the salary cap, and Philadelphia had four guys make the list.

With urgent moves set to be made, we’re looking at the six most challenging decisions for Howie Roseman this spring.

We’re looking at the studs and duds from the Philadelphia Eagles 2023 regular season

The Eagles are set for wholesale changes as owner Jeffrey Lurie and GM Howie Roseman evaluated Nick Sirianni’s future following Philadelphia’s historic collapse, finishing the season 1-6 after a 10-1 start.

The first domino to fall is All-Pro center Jason Kelce, 36, who reportedly told his teammates he is retiring after 13 seasons with the Eagles but may now be having a change of heart.

Brandon Graham, who turns 36 in April, says he wants to return to the Eagles for one more final season, his 15th, and he’s one of the few guys on the roster deserving of writing his final script.

According to Over The Cap, Philadelphia has 20+ free agents, and we’re looking at the studs and duds from a disappointing finish.

The 2024 NFL offseason is underway for Philadelphia, and after a 32-9 wild card loss to Tampa Bay, the focus will now shift to reshaping the roster to fit two new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

Over The Cap recently looked at the top 100 players who could be cut or released due to the salary cap, and Philadelphia had four guys make the list.

According to Over the Cap’s potential transaction chart, the Eagles can easily create $35.4 million in cap space, and we’re looking at five players who could end up as salary cap casualties.

Early look at the 15 biggest salary cap hits for the Eagles in 2024

We’re looking at the Philadelphia Eagles 15 biggest salary cap hits for the 2024 NFL season

After being officially eliminated in the wild card round, the Philadelphia Eagles are preparing for 2024, and they have a lot of work to do to be compliant with the league’s cap rules before the start of the league year.

Where things currently stand, the Eagles are expected to have roughly $20,284,984 in cap space via OverTheCap, which ranks 18th in the NFL per Over The Cap.

That number could grow if the team opts to part ways with some expensive contracts or critical veterans.

Before that, let’s take a look at the 15 Philadelphia Eagles players that have the biggest salary cap hits in 2024.

2024 NFL Draft: Final compensatory pick projections for the Eagles

Philadelphia will receive a third-round compensatory pick and three fifth-round compensatory picks, according to Nick Korte of OverTheCap after losing Javon Hargrave, Isaac Seumalo, Andre Dillard and T.J. Edwards in free agency.

The Eagles made several critical signings during the 2023 NFL free agency process, with all of the additions being one-year deals.

Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman watched ten contributors leave on the open market.

Thanks to his shrewd maneuvering and roster building, the Eagles are in line for four valuable compensatory picks in 2024, according to Nick Korte of Over The Cap.

The Birds were slated to have six picks in the 2024 NFL draft, but thanks to the compensatory formula, they’ll have 10.

1 Eagles’ own pick
2 Eagles’ own pick
2 From Saints
3 Projected compensatory pick
5 From Vikings (can become fourth-round pick if conditions are met)
5 From Buccaneers
5 Projected compensatory pick
5 Projected compensatory pick
6 Eagles’ own pick, or the Titans’ sixth-round pick, whichever is better
6 Projected compensatory pick

Here’s an early look at the four compensatory picks and how Philadelphia landed the extra assets.

These 38 Eagles are under contract for 2024

With the postseason exit meetings complete, we’re looking at the 38 players who are under contract with the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2024 NFL season

The Philadelphia Eagles have concluded their 2023 season, and the focus now shifts to what’s shaping up to be a franchise-altering offseason for general manager Howie Roseman.

Where things currently stand, the Eagles are expected to have roughly $28,954,811 in cap space via OverTheCap, which ranks 15th in the NFL per Over The Cap.

That number could grow if the team opts to part ways with some expensive contracts or critical veterans.

The Eagles have 20 players set to exit via free agency, and more could depart depending on what happens with the offensive and defensive coordinator roles.

Right now, Philadelphia has 38 players currently under contract for the 2024 season. Here’s a look at them, ranked by cap hit:

Darius Slay has high praise for Eagles trio of rookie defensive backs

During his exit meeting with the media, Darius Slay had high praise for Eagles rookies Sydney Brown, Eli Ricks, and Kelee Ringo

The Eagles are set to undergo massive changes, and the two high-paid outside cornerbacks could be a part of the youth movement.

Darius Slay missed five games during the 2023 season and was forced to exit the wild-card loss to Tampa with a back injury.

During his end-of-the-year meeting with the media, Slay talked about Philadelphia’s future in the secondary, praising rookies Sydney Brown, Kelee Ringo, and Eli Ricks.

That trio of rookie defensive backs got 43 snaps in the first six weeks of the season but played huge roles down the stretch, giving a glimpse into the future.

Bradley Roby, James Bradberry, Slay, and Kevin Byard are all in their 30s and have had long successful careers, but could all be a part of a dramatic retool at critical positions.

The Eagles are set for a dramatic overhaul following the team’s shocking 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.

Baker Mayfield outplayed Jalen Hurts, going 22-36 passing for 337 yards, three touchdowns, and 0 interceptions with a 119 quarterback rating.

Rachaad White was strong on the ground, rushing 18 times for 62 yards on the night.
