Suddenly, the Philadelphia Eagles’ cap questions don’t seem like major issues anymore.
That’s what happens when the NFL increases the 2024 salary cap by over $30 million on Friday – a move that surprised many around the NFL.
The massive increase not only is the largest jump in NFL history, but it also allows teams to rethink their offseason strategy with a little more wiggle room to play with.
One of those teams with added wiggle room is the Eagles. The new cap increase will give the franchise over $30 million in cap space. Should the team release safety Kevin Byard, that number goes over $40 million.
There are other moves the Eagles can make to increase their cap total even more. In short, the Birds could have more room than they have had in recent memory.
Now, players like All-Pro edge rusher Haason Reddick once thought to be on the way out the door due to potential contract demands, may not be after all.
