According to Over the Cap, the Eagles are 50 mil over the Cap figure for 2021. For starters, anyone hoping to add a Clowney or any other expensive free agent left on the market ... it ain't happening. The Eagles will need to carry over their 15 mil or so into next season and after signing their rookies will only have around 18 mil left under this year's Cap. They need to have a 3 mil or so buffer to sign players here and there due to injuries during the season.
In 2021 Howie has his work cut out for him. Likely gone are Alshon and DJax. Ertz will likely have a new contract with a very low 1st year number or traded (less likely). DE Brandon Graham is most likely playing his final year as an Eagle this season as his 2021 Cap # will be close to 18 mil at 33 years old with "none" of it Guaranteed. Fletcher Cox is another player like Ertz more than likely restructured; his cap number is 22.4 mil with none of it guaranteed. Just like Ertz they can give him guarantees and get that 2021 cap hit down to around a 5 mil cap hit (trade is also an option as he will be 31 years old).
