But restructuring and bringing back Lane, Slay, Kelce and BG says otherwise......

Lane will be fine for years he’s still young in tackle years. We were stuck with bg, we have to create cap space so that’s why we are restructuring him so he doesn’t count 17 mill towards our space. Slay is just starting his contract. Brooks should be moved if we can get a 3rd, would love it actually. Gives us 14 mill more cap in 2022 and gives us more picks.Herbig did pretty good

I fully expect a ton of 1-year deals which could be very very interesting.

if the TV deals are indeed as big as they think, it should open up some longer term deals.
Like even we could sign some guys and just put most the money 22 & 23.

But yeah could see some dream teamy type of stuff, guys go to the contenders for a year and cash out next year ,

Cap Musings 

 

According to OTC the Eagles are still 26 mill OVER the cap as of today.

In that figure, Brandon Graham and Lane Johnson's salaries have yet to be restructured

Once they do that officially that should get them to about 11 mill over

June 1st cutting Malik and Alshon gets them to about 8 million over

Cutting Goodwin gets them to about 5 million over.

trading Ertz gets them to about 1 million over.

Then that leaves whatever they decide to do with Derek Barnett: extend, trade or cut which will determine how much they are under when the league year starts.

Then you still have Cox and Hargrave that could get some restructures if you want to open up more space? 

The trading Brandon Brooks rumors are interesting. That only saves them like 2 million. I'm not sure how worth it that is. 

 

Having some many restuructures on the books is pretty scary but, remembering that this new TV deal is likely to make a huge bump in cap next year and plus that $30 million and change you had earmarked for crybaby Carson is now freed up, it might not be that bad?

 

It'll be interesting to see how these next couple days unfolds

Cutting Brooks would not be worth it at all, imo. If he's healthy, he's a top 3-5 OG in the NFL. I expect him to look better than Lane, because lord knows what kind of damage Lane has done playing through multiple injuries as long as he can before finally getting surgery. Lane will probably have to retire before Brooks, despite being younger and initially more athletic.

Certainly makes things seem way more doable. 

The cap the next couple years should open us up to signing someone worth it this year and pushing their money to 22 & 23. But We'll suck this year so hope they don't do too much of that. Maybe some lower stake guys like Hooker and some LBs to build the defense out.
