How do the Eagles stack up in terms of spending across different positions leading into OTAs?
The Eagles have revamped their roster on both offense and defense following a disappointing end to the season, where they lost six of their final seven games, including a 32-9 wild-card defeat to the Buccaneers.
The overhaul began in free agency, with Howie Roseman signing DE Bryce Huff, RB Saquon Barkley, OLB Zach Baun, OL Matt Hennessy, WR DeVante Parker, S/CB C.J. Gardner-Johnson, LB Devin White, LB Oren Burks, DT PJ Mustipher, WR Parris Campbell, and CB Tyler Hall.
Philadelphia then traded for quarterback Kenny Pickett and extended the contracts of Landon Dickerson and Jake Elliott.
How do the Eagles stack up in terms of spending across different positions leading into OTAs?
Currently, Philadelphia has approximately $27,240,681 in cap space, according to Over The Cap, and is spending over $100 million on the offense. The offensive line and wide receiver positions take up the most significant portions of this cap space.
Overall positional spending has significantly increased since Jalen Hurts signed a massive five-year, $255 million contract extension last spring, making him one of the five highest-paid players in NFL history.
The Eagles are set to begin the first of three OTA sessions this week, scheduled for May 20 and May 22-23.
Despite ranking 17th in average positional spending, the Eagles are again Super Bowl favorites in the NFC and boast one of the league’s most talented rosters.
Thanks to Over The Cap, here’s a look at Philadelphia’s positional spending on both sides of the ball ahead of OTAs.
