The NFL just announced a new CBA after a narrow vote by the players on Saturday night. With the new deal that runs through 2030, the league announced a new salary cap for the 2020 season as well.
According to Tom Pelissero, the salary cap for the 2020 season will be $198.2 million, an increase of $10 million from 2019.
That cap figure leaves the Eagles in a comfortable position heading into the start of the new league year.
According to Over The Cap, the Eagles currently have $172 million committed to active contracts for their top 51 players heading into the 2020 season.
With the salary cap now at $198.2 million, the Eagles will take $26.2 million in salary-cap space and add it to the $21 million being rolled over from the 2019 season.
The Eagles projected number currently sits at about $47.2 million.
The team will have a decision to make on Malcolm Jenkins in the coming days and could gain another five million cap space if they decline to pick up his option.
The Eagles also have a pressing decision to make on Alshon Jeffery as the receiver recovers from foot surgery. If the Eagles cut Jeffery as a post-June 1 designation, they could spread his dead money out over two years.
The team will lose $10.5 million in cap space if they move on from Jeffery, but could gain more space by moving on some veterans still under contract.
