When the Philadelphia Eagles went all in for the 2023 NFL season, their defense saw a significant decline. Salary cap concerns may cause one Philadelphia Eagles star to miss spring training as the team starts making changes this offseason. The NFL salary cap for 2024 is set at $55.4 million, but Philadelphia is not in a great financial situation. Thanks in large part to Jalen Hurts’ contract, there is virtually little ability to restructure contracts to push cap hits into future years.
The Eagles’ cap room for the next two seasons is currently less than $28 million. The likes of DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson, Reed Blankenship, and Kenneth Gainwell are available for NFL free agency in 2025, while D’Andre Swift is set to enter the open market this summer. Insider Jeremy Fowler gave an explanation of why the Eagles would have to choose between two edge rushers this offseason while previewing NFL offseasons for ESPN. Although Philadelphia’s front office is renowned for its inventiveness, Fowler points out that in 2024, a choice on Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat will probably put that to the test.
Prior to the Super Bowl, Reddick—who excelled at Philadelphia’s Temple University—was linked to several NFL trades when it was revealed that he had asked to be dealt. The Pro Bowl edge rusher subsequently rejected those rumors, stating that he preferred to remain in Philadelphia.
