Dead Cap Strategy Enables Flexibility
Philadelphia leads NFL averaging $60M annual dead money since 2021 through aggressive restructuring. Current penalties total $45M yet maintain competitive roster demonstrating Roseman’s cap manipulation mastery.
Void Year Philosophy: Eagles employ phantom years extending beyond playing contracts spreading bonuses. This creates perpetual dead cap yet enables year-to-year championship pursuit versus long-term flexibility.
Next Season Outlook: Projected $35M available space enables continued free agency aggression. Hurts’ escalation to $32M creates manageable charge while seven $20M+ contracts maintain elite talent concentration.
