The Philadelphia Eagles will play their final preseason game on Thursday versus the Indianapolis Colts. Roster cuts are just a week away, which means fans can start to get a glimpse of what the team’s salary cap will look like for the remainder of the season and into 2024. Below, we’ll project the Eagles’ cap space based on their top 53 players.
What Is The Eagles Projected Cap Space In 2023?
Philadelphia will have to make some tough decisions on Aug. 29, when all NFL rosters have to be cut to a maximum of 53 players.
Using data from Spotrac, we’ve estimated that the Eagles will have approximately $4,884,576 in cap space remaining after roster cuts, assuming the final two players on the roster receive the league minimum.
That gives the Eagles some flexibility if Howie Roseman decides to shock the NFL and make another deal.
Can The Eagles Afford To Trade For Jonathan Taylor?
Philadelphia was recently linked to Indianapolis Colts’ running back Jonathan Taylor, who has received permission from owner Jim Irsay to talk to teams about a potential trade.
Despite a deep and capable stable of running backs, the Eagles are expected to be among the teams interested in acquiring Taylor’s services. Any team acquiring Taylor would take on his base salary of $4.3 million in 2023, giving Philadelphia just enough cap room to swallow his contract.
Will Roseman go all in to deliver another Lombardi Trophy to the city of Philadelphia?
