It's not even those guys or the Eagles...although I agree 100% with you here. It's league wide with QBs. Waiting makes you end up overpaying.. but also in a way that you can wiggle around the cap hit. Dak and Cousins have been cap disasters after being tagged. It just doesn't work with QBs. Other positions might cost you a few million and sting a little on the cap...QB mistake of waiting cripples you, for years.

We are the opposite, or have been until recently. We had a decent draft last year and appear to have had a solid draft this year. Meanwhile Dallas has had to let multiple Players leave because they paid Dak, Elliott and Cooper way too much cash! They are in CAP he!! right now. The only think keeping them competitive has been their drafts. Meanwhile, we had to deal with a hefty Cap contract with Wentz. Now that is over and we are in good shape again. Plus it appears we had 2 good drafts in a row. Who is in better shape right now? Dallas? We got ranked 31 in cap for the next three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest decision of the immediate future of this franchise is how to handle his contract. This is the discussion. Are you saying Hurts was a bad draft pick? We all know that paying Hurts after this year and having him work out is best case scenario. What I'm pointing out ( which is proven over recent years ) FROM A SALARY CAP PERSPECTIVE.... that it's better to pay him early and have him fail, then wait to pay him and have him succeed. We can get out from under quickly if he fails.... waiting to pay him screws us longer even if he is perennial all pro. Is this the case now? Deshaun Watson’s contract says to me much different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunninghamtheman Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Seems to me your point is a team paying 1 mil for their starting QB has more cap room than a team paying 40 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemas6 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 FYI....overthecap.com.. a website that ONLY does cap stuff. Cap space per season as ranked at the moment with ALL money that is being pushed forward taken into the equation... Eagles rank 15th in 2022... 18th in 2023.. and 28th in 2024. What it doesn't factor at the moment... and cap space that rolls forward. It also factors in that we pay out all the salaries in full. Which we know won't happen.

joemas6 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 42.5 mil is what the current cap space is supposed to be for the Eagles in 2024. Which we know will go up with leftover cap space, releasing older players etc. But will go down as we sign new contracts. Not sure who is up for a new deal in 2024? Hurts, Watkins, Driscoll... don't think many others that are on rookie deals will be resigned. Still in very very good shape. Especially considering all the money that is already kicked down the road, other teams will have to do that going forward. It seems we are done in that department for a couple years until AJ Brown.

cunninghamtheman Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Over50 percent of our cap in 2024 is used up with fielding AJ, Mailata, Reddick, Goedert, Lane, Sweat and Maddox. Think that’s part of the evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milton? 2024 would be year 4 of their rookie deals... you would assume that they get " extended" to where the cap hit is still low in 2024... similar to the contracts the Eagles have done before ..what you will see is the prorated amount of the signing bonus added to 2024. Nothing big via cap hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect Hurts to be the highest paid player in the league...when the Eagles have leverage of letting him play for less than 2 mil if he becomes a pain in the @ss. So I don't expect the idiot contract given out by Cleveland to effect anything as far as Hurts. But it would be awesome if Hurts plays at the level to where he could be considered to get paid that much.... you can be sure that the offense will light it up and we would win more than 11 games and just a possible home playoff win.
