Neither player will officially retire before the new year. Both will be designated as post Jun 1 cuts before they officially retire. There's a future combined $26.5M cap hit coming in 2025 on top of this year's hits, but the Eagles were expecting it.
So you are agreeing with my comment about dead money outstanding? I didn't say anything about 2024.
Absolutely. The Eagles have effectively overspent their cap position year on year so that by the end of 2023 they have a net overspend of over $190M. Most teams had a net overspend of between $60M and $120M. The Eagles are playing a dangerous game without a safety net.So you are agreeing with my comment about dead money outstanding?

And add another $20M in dead money for Reddick if they trade him. There is also a small base salary savings for each of the first two and a large savings for Reddick which is a large part of why they are looking to trade him. The Eagles cap issue tore apart their depth last year
Poor decision making was the cause, not the cap. They acquired poor replacements for guys like Epps Kyzier White and TJ Edwards.So you are agreeing with my comment about dead money outstanding? I didn't say anything about 2024.

The cap was absolutely part of the reason that they lost so many key players
Nope. That’s just not true. They had their replacements for these players already on the roster or signed them last off season. They purposefully didn’t resign Edwards Epps White Seumalo CJGJ Dillard. They had guys like Dean that was already on the team, guys like Sydney Brown that they drafted. The only cap casualty was Hargraves because of the price tag of 20 million not fitting into their structure. The Eagles just screwed up the evaluations of the replacements.

First off if even one guy was not re-signed because of the cap then it proves it was because of the cap. But, seems like a little bit of selective memory. You don't remember the CJGJ drama? It was going to be him or Slay. They weren't signing both. He and Hargraves were two huge losses from those teams and the draft hadn't taken place yet so there were no replacements in sight. As far as the LBers go Dean was not a lock to start at all after his first year and it's not like they only needed one LBer even if they counted on him. You guys for some bizarre reason just can't admit how the cap impacts your team. Look at the dead money on all of these deals. It's stretched as thin as it can be.
Your criticism is misappropriated. The criticism lies in the organizational value place on LB, S, and IOL. Of the guys who left, Epps and Edwards were undrafted rookie FAs. Kyzier White was a value buy one year deal. This is what they always do. It’s always been the plan. Some years they have gotten good answers and some years like this one, they struck out all over the place.
regardless,cowboys will always top my shit list easily.
