    Aren’t Mahomes and Jones higher paid than any player on the Eagles’ roster?

    Eagles backload the fuck out of their contracts and kinda operate under the assumption that the cap will increase next year so it won’t matter. They’ve got like $70-80 mil in deadcap this year I believe

    I wonder this myself, but one point is that the eagles and niners are probably operating with a 3-4 year window in mind. Stack the team with talent, try to win a superbowl and then rebuilt. In the Chiefs case, we’re trying to be super bowl contenders every year during Mahomes’ reign. Maybe that means barely being contenders.

    I’m not saying I want Leonard. This is a comment on how the Eagles are linked to damn near every available player and we never are.

    Almost 40% of our cap is going to Mahomes, CJ, and Kelce. Having over a third of your cap dedicated to three players is a cap nightmare. And all 3 of those players make more than the Eagles highest paid player.

    And buckle up, it’s about to get worse. Mahomes’s cap hit is 37 million this year and is set to jump to 57 million the next few years because weve heavily backloaded his contract. This is why it was an awful move by Veach to not go out and get a receiver, the next couple years are going to be rough.

    Hurts is still on a cheap contract but he’s set to take a huge jump in salary. Don’t worry, they’ll have to start cutting a restructuring contracts soon. And my guess is their offensive line is going to really struggle after their legends all retire and they have no cap to rebuild it.
