And that's not taking into account Kelce, Graham, Brooks, etc's recent restructures. We are going to be closer to 100 million than 50 million in dead cap.

March 18, 20214 yr Jeffery will count $7.6 million through June 1against the Eagles’ 2021 cap, and Jackson will count $5.611 million through June 1. After that date, the Eagles will save another $2 million in cap space with each player.
March 18, 20214 yr Quote Carson Wentz says it 'wasn't fun' with Philadelphia Eagles before trade to Indianapolis Colts INDIANAPOLIS -- New Colts quarterback Carson Wentz felt like the beginning of the end of his five-year career with the Philadelphia Eagles began when he was benched in their Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers last season. Wentz didn't play another snap with the Eagles, and two months later he was traded to the Colts for a third-round pick in this year's draft and a conditional second-round pick in the 2022 draft where he hopes he can regain the form that had him as a MVP candidate. "I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it wasn't fun," Wentz said Thursday in his first comments since the trade. "It's not fun when things were going well for years and all those things. ... As a man you have to look yourself in the mirror and learn from it and become a better man, better player. It wasn't fun, it was difficult, but I did everything I could to be supportive of Jalen (Hurts) and my teammates." Wentz was benched in favor of the rookie Hurts after he completed a career-low 57.4%, threw 15 interceptions and was sacked 50 times last season. That was a drastic downfall for Wentz, who was in the running to win the MVP trophy before a torn ACL ended his 2017 season early. Wentz also commented Thursday on reports that he wasn't a good teammate in Philadelphia. "I've learned you're not going to make everybody happy," Wentz said. "As much as you want to, you can't. It's unfortunate people have those opinions. I'm going to learn from it and try to be the best teammate I can be. If there are teammates who I don't think I was the best teammate, I apologize, I wish I could better. Last year was tough for everybody." Wentz didn't come out and say it, but it was best that he and the Eagles go their separate ways, especially after it appeared the organization wanted to go with Hurts in the future. "A lot of things in life we can't predict," Wentz said. "A lot of crazy circumstances where you expect things to unfold. When you're drafted in a place like Philly you have a lot of high expectations and everything, but obviously the year didn't go as planned. Excited for this opportunity in Indy and be a part of something special that has already been created here." Colts coach Frank Reich will play a big part in trying to get Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, back on track. Wentz has only played all 16 games in the regular season just twice in his career due to injuries and the benching and there's the mental aspect of where he's at, too, because it was less than two years ago that the Eagles gave him a four-year, $128 million contract. Reich was Wentz's offensive coordinator with the Eagles for two seasons, including in 2017 when the quarterback threw for an Eagles franchise-record 33 touchdowns and his 78.5 total QBR was 18.7 points higher than the rest of his career. "It was natural and getting to work with him for two years, not just the personal side of things, we knew we had a great relationship with that, but the X's and O's of football," Wentz said. "How we see the game and how we can have healthy discussions and disagreements, but really challenge each other and ultimately make each other better. It was a lot of fun. That's something I'm super excited about, getting to work with him again because I have the upmost respect for the man he is, the friend he's been as well, also the coach he is as well." The Colts need Wentz just as much as he needs to be with a familiar face like Reich. Wentz will follow Scott Tolzien, Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett and Philip Rivers in being the team's Week 1 starter over the past five seasons. Indianapolis hopes the 28-year-old Wentz will put an end to its constantly changing quarterback position that had basically Luck and Peyton Manning between 1998 and 2019, when Luck retired. Reich, owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard didn't just go off the relationship between Wentz and Reich before making the trade. They wanted to make sure this wasn't going to be just another temporary holding pattern at quarterback for the franchise. "I can't emphasize how strongly I feel that Carson is the man for the job for the Colts at this time," Irsay said. "There's been a lot at the quarterback situation that has happened over the last three years. To get someone I really do believe after looking this game for 50 years, I really think that he can be that guy that's the center piece and the guy who will be around with these teams we put together for the next decade that give the Colts a chance for greatness."
March 18, 20214 yr It wasn't fun for me either, so, we have that in common. Actually it was a little more fun after he was benched, because it was more of an adventure, rather than a guaranteed kick in the teeth.
March 18, 20214 yr I found this interesting Quote Yesterday was the first day of the league year in the NFL and we expected a flurry of trades and cuts to happen that day. Pretty much all went as planned with the Eagles designating their two June 1 cuts, all the trades like Trent Brown to the Patriots being made official, etc…except one thing. The Rams and Lions did not make their trade of Jared Goff and Matt Stafford official (while they did make their Michael Brockers trade official). Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal except in this case both players have roster bonuses in their contracts. Stafford’s is due the 5th day of the league year so there is still time before that one, but Goff has a $2.5 million roster bonus due today, the 2nd day of the league year. Since the trade was not executed before today that should remain with the Rams, increasing Goffs dead money with the Rams by $2.5 million and reducing the Lions responsibility for Goff by $2.5 million. Now it is entirely possible that Goff has agreed to delay the roster bonus but given that the two sides had over a month to work on this one I would guess that this was probably a condition of the trade. Anyway we are adjusting the cap numbers as if it stays with the Rams and if we find out otherwise will swap it back. Stafford we are keeping as is unless this is not finalized for a few more days. So basically, there may have been a handshake deal to keep Goff long enough to absorb the roster bonus.
March 18, 20214 yr Hmmmm. ......we’re screwed. Thank god we had a good year in 17/18. The best!! I sort of want to know what the breakdown really was. Coaching or mr wentz getting his head too big? The local news snippets says it started when he was benched -in December! Are you kidding me? Sports news is becoming like reality tv. It sucks!!! He was throwing crap. Ugh
March 19, 20214 yr With the Dolphins signing Fuller, is it a stretch to believe they are going to pass on Ja'Marr Chase?
March 19, 20214 yr Bad news for the "Cut Barnett" folk Derek Barnett's $10 million salary with the Eagles for 2021 is now fully guaranteed This actually happened Wednesday, but I missed it because, screw you.
