time2rock Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Eagles land at No. 4 in an ESPN ranking of NFL offseason salary cap space, draft picks Glenn Erby February 5, 2022 2:52 pm ET It’s NFL draft season and as the Eagles assess some of the top collegiate prospects at the Senior Bowl, Howie Roseman will look to be active in free agency, while potentially turning draft assets into a big move. Philadelphia will have three first-round picks and the potential for almost $40 million in cap space, making for an active, and valuable offseason. ESPN agreed, ranking Philadelphia in the top-five of all 32 NFL teams salary cap space and draft capital. 4. Philadelphia Eagles Draft capital AV sum: 138.8 First-round picks: Nos. 15, 16, 19 Current cap space: $14.4 million The Eagles have three first-round picks thanks to two 2021 trades. One came via the deal that sent quarterback Carson Wentz to the Colts and the other was from the Dolphins for trading down six spots in the 2021 first round. The Eagles also have an extra pick in the fifth round after trading tight end Zach Ertz to the Cardinals. It would not at all be surprising if general manager Howie Roseman uses some of the first-round picks to maneuver further. Doug Pederson’s Jacksonville Jaguars landed at No. 1 on the list with the top overall pick and a ton of free agent cap space. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2022/02/05/eagles-espn-ranking-nfl-offseason-capital-assets-improve-free-agency/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 No. 4 offseason cap space/draft pick power ranking! I feel like some ESPN writers were sitting around lamenting that their article on teams' cap space and draft positioning wasn't getting enough hits so they brainstormed and someone was like "what if we turn it into a power ranking? People love power rankings!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I think he is including the rollover cap amount to the current cap amount. But we are also going to have considerable dead money that will be added to the 2022 cap once the new league year starts (in addition to the current $22M dead money they will also add the dead money associated with the contracts of Barnett, Harris, McLeod, Nelson, and Kerrigan). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
