Eagles Still $8 Million Under Cap, Sorry Rest Of NFL

in Philadelphia Eagles News
Email
PrintThe Eagles cleaned up in free agency signing/trading for six pro bowers, they paid Michael Vick $100 million and yet according to CSNPhilly's Ruben Frank they're still more than $8 million under the salary cap. From a financial perspective, it really is like they're playing a different game than everyone else in the league.
Roob crunched the numbers which include the all the contracts from the cuts, the pay cuts for Winston Justice & Juqua Parker and the Vick contract (which lowered his cap number) and found that the Eagles are exactly $8,355,094 under the cap. Now that does not include Joselio Hanson's new contract, but he obviously took a pay cut from the $1.88 million he was previously scheduled to make this season. Plus, they saved a few bucks from cutting Trevard Lindley as well.
So the Eagles have more than enough room to do a new deal with DeSean Jackson. Plus, we can all laugh at anyone who tries to argue that the Eagles have "mortgaged their future" this offseason.

As far as OLmen, there’s not really anything out there at this point. They brought in Harris, they have Justice and Dunlap. They thought it’d be fine between those 3 and the last resort Herremans.

serious question about this magic
How well do all these young cheap contracts look going forward a few years. I know there are a pile of vets on one year deals, and then a lot of guys on their first contracts. Is the massive amount of draft picks coming next year going to be enough to keep this turning over? I dont think it is all in this year, but I do worry if this can be sustained as all of the players will get more expensive every year, and possibly faster than the cap goes up.
if they get it done it should take care of itself I'd think
If we fall short in the early rounds it shouldn’t be terribly hard to replace a few positions with younger/cheaper talent each year since they probably won’t be AS marketable. However, since falling short isn’t the goal, I imagine that when we reach the real goal finally all these players will decide its time to cash-in after maybe sticking around for a repeat attempt. This will make it very important to draft better than normal because we will likely have to allow several players to seek employment elsewhere. Maybe we get a few picks out of a few of them when they go. There is always the dynasty aspect. Right now we have players flocking over here because we have a FO, coach, and superstar that players are willing to give a discount to work with. If we can capitalize on that and get a ring or two quickly then we may end up with the Pats effect and get stud rehab players for years to come strictly off of reputation. If we don’t… well it could go south very quickly.

Andy has said screw the diet and eats exclusively off the mcdonalds dollar menu now. Or maybe shawn andrews aka mr get your michael phelps on, became a famous rapper and owed the iggles money that they spent on his rehabbing.

Well considering that not one other team has signed him I can’t really see him coming in here and being a savior.

In 5 of his 6 seasons, he’s started 15 games and had at least 80+ tackles. If you ask me that’s nothing to scoff at.

It's not magic...
Lest we forget, we’re starting a rookie center, a rookie MLB, a rookie kicker, a rookie punter, etc. We have one of the youngest rosters in the league for a reason…by keeping half the roster at league minimum you can sign a handful of multiple-million dollar players. I just hope we haven’t been OVER frugal and sacrificed at certain positions. While the roster is littered with studs at the skill position positions, d-line and cornerback, realizes will admit we have serious question marks on the o-line, at linebacker and safety. While signing Jackson needs to be a priority, there are still holes that should have been addressed.

Agreed, but...
…when you have 12 draft picks each year and keep 10 of them so that you can keep your payroll such that you can sign a Nnamdi, Samuel, Babin, Jenkins, etc., you GOTTA hit on those picks. I’m not so sure of our last couple drafts…

I think Strass is talking about the last two drafts where the FO went against what 99% of the football world expected them to do and spent their top picks on guys that seemingly none of the other teams valued highly.
That’s not true at all.

Noooooooo.

Yes
Definitely some gems in the last couple drafts. Not arguing that. But in order to spend 33% of your cap (or whatever it’s been) on five or six players (10% of your roster), it has to be offset by a bunch of players who are young, cheap or willing to take the minimum (and there’s usually a reason for that). Some of those guys have to be starters, ready or not. My point is, while the Birds have signed all these guys and extended Vick, there’s a reason they’ve been able to do so. It’s not necessarily because Banner is some sort of genius, it’s because they are willing to spend (considerably) less at other positions. And I hope that philosophy doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass because this team DOES gave serious question marks. Just because a guy was a 6th or 7th round pick and starts doesn’t mean he’s great…sometimes it’s simply out of necessity.

Were three years ago, yeah? I was specifically looking at the last two years in which we’ve kept a high number of picks but don’t seem to see any real studs. It’s early, I know, but still…a lot of those guys are on the team. I hope it’s because of potential and not because they’re cheap.

The jury's still out on picks used on players with less than two years in the league
That would include the entirety of your sample size.
That’s just too early to judge them.
Understood...
…but my point is, there’s a lot of guys on this team who may or may not be any good. But because they’re cheap, more rookies make the team so they can sign the All-Pros theyve signed. It’s a huge risk and a lot of these guys are starting because the money is spent elsewhere. The fact that the eagles have such a young roster is simply proof that they need to carry more young (and unproven) players to stay within the cap.

I’m not comfortable at safety at all, are you? Be serious. And LB? come on! I love the birds but you can’t be blind to the fact that all three LBs and both safeties are unproven.

not true
at the very least you have to recognize the fokou is at WORST a solid starter

...which proves your initial statement wrong.
personally i think chaney has a higher ceiling than fokou, and we’ll see about matthews but we have a JAG (jordan) who can come in and start if casey bombs.

These numbers are completely rough so don't hold me to them
But if the cap is $125 million and there are 53 players on a team, it comes to about $2.5 million per player. So if Vick is getting $16 million/year, another 10 guys need to make only $1 million to average out to $2.5 million per player. So when you start sigining Nnamdi, Babin, Jenkins, etc. You’ve got to have more players on your roster making less money. There are consequences to signing good players to bug deals and that is the back end of your roster doesn’t get paid much. That usually means rookies and until earlier today the Birds were about to start FIVE out of 24 starting spots. That’s HUGE.

Counting punter and kicker as “starters” is kind of a stretch isn’t it?

But you generally have an idea
After a couple seasons. Eagles are banking on a lot of unproven guys who don’t have that experience yet. They don’t have an idea…somebody just said as much earlier by saying we couldn’t possibly know about our last couple drafts. EXACTLY! It’s a big risk for a team that has such high expectations.

I can’t argue you stat for stat or dollar for dollar…I’m out here in Cali with a five month old and give the Birds as much time as I can. But I’ll say this and call it a night:
21) the whole point if this article was to talk about how much cap room the eagles have;
G) it’s a function of how young they are;
m) they are young because they have to be in order to offset the salaries of Vick and the guys they signed this offseason;
&) young starters are a scary thing for a team that has such high aspirations.
I don’t think any of the above can be disputed. We have some incredible talent but a team is

…only as good as the weakest starters. And we definitely have some guys who have been thrust in starting roles – more than a team that’s vying for a Super Bowl – should.

I agree with you
But two teams are the Steelers and Packers. I don’t think they have any rookies/unproven players starting as far as I know.
but consider this:
how many unproven players filled in for packers last season? and how did that work out for them?

We tend to the look at the Eagles in a bubble. You can’t make a judgment about what it means to start 2 rookies unless you look at what other teams are doing.
It’s very common for teams to start a couple rookies and a couple second year players.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook. Did you get your copy of the 2011 Eagles Annual yet?
I’d say Chaney, Coleman, and Lewis are pretty safe bets at this point to be good players. Tough to fault them for Brandon Graham’s injury. Nate Allen is a work in progress because of his injury too.

by Strasstafarian on Sep 8, 2011 12:30 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I dunno that we went all in man, most of these deals are very escapable and the team is still really really young. Even the good players.
Maclin, McCoy, Jackson, Peters, Herremans, Cole, etc. all those guys are still in or entering their prime. I don’t really see this as the last hurrah. Just a perfect storm that the Eagles out planned everybody for, Joe and Howie saw this coming 2 years ago.
If you’re asking me if I’d rather have a MLB with more talent and experience than Matthews, sure he’s a liability. Safeties could be better and the interior OL too. But really, almost every team has holes bigger than ours

I don’t think Banner really means that we’re going for it this year and this year alone though. That has never been the way we operated, and if you look at our current situation it doesn’t really apply.

he said we were not all in, cause it is structured to be sustainable.
" ‘All in’ to me implies a short window, and that’s the only thing I object to," Banner said in a recent interview. "Because we are going to do everything we can to win the Super Bowl, that’s accurate. But all in implies right now, bust if it doesn’t happen. We have structured this so it will be sustainable, and that’s a big difference between what we’ve done and what we’ve seen others do."
Sure
And I like the flexibility we have. But, honestly, do you not think after the signings this year that all the chips weren’t pushed to the middle? No way this team is thinking about 2012 or 2013. Come on…
by Strasstafarian on Sep 8, 2011 1:05 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
alot of the deals are structured to be one-two year deals. Most of babin’s money i believe comes in the first year or two and drops off, cullen jenkins is basically on a one year deal if the eagles decide to let him go after this season, VY is on year deal and so is ronnie brown. DRC is still making under a million, and only Nnamdi is really the big signing money wise we made. I think were set for the future while going for it now.
Of course they are thinking about 2012 and 2013.
They always are. Look at how young this roster is. You are saying it yourself for crying out loud. The talent on this roster is locked up and in line to be good for at least 5 years and they have a ton of young guys that could turn into long-term starters. They didn’t sign anybody that is about to be over-the-hill and they still have cap room. How can that possibly be “all in”? They are certainly trying to win now, but they are positioned beautifully to sustain success. The deals for players that might not be worthwhile are short-term deals and won’t hurt the Eagles if they don’t work out. The chips aren’t pushed to the middle at all; the Eagles are putting on a financial clinic right now.
But youth doesn't necessarily mean success
The roster is young because it has to be in order to have the money to sign expensive free agents and give big bucks to your QB. It’s not necessarily young because they think all these rookie and second year players are the best players they can get. There HAS to be a balance between expensive and cheap players. Let’s just hope the young guys are inexpensive AND talented. Because at this point, we don’t know and are taking a big risk that they are.
by Strasstafarian on Sep 8, 2011 10:31 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
No it doesn't necessarily mean success, but a younger team is almost always in a better position for the future than an older one.
And you seem to be implying that the Eagles didn’t draft players that they thought would end up being successful. I think guys like Allen, Graham, Coleman, Jarrett, Chaney, Matthews are all expected to contribute to this team for a long time. They may not pan out, but that’s true of any draft pick.
I just don’t buy the idea that we mortgaged our future for the sake of one year. That is the definition of being “all in” IMO and I don’t see it here. Yes we have a lot of young guys that might not pan out, but financially the Eagles are prepared to deal with that after this year if need be and there is a lot of talent to keep this team at least competitive for years.
But we aren't all in.
That’s the beauty of what the Eagles have done this offseason. “All in” implies that it’s now or never and that is simply not the case.
I will say you guys do have a nice front office
No SB wins to show for it but at least you are always close.

What I don't understand is why
People are so worried about our cap space and if it can be sustained over a long period of time.I kind of find that way of thinking rather unfounded. The Eagles have been competitive for the last decade. We are one of the best run organizations in the NFL. I think people are getting nervous because this is the first time in a while that the F.O. has decided to really show what it is capable of. We are loaded at the hard to fill locations. WR, RB, QB, CB and a few other parts here and there. Our team is very solid, maybe not super remarkable at all facets but solid. Also we seem to have the ability to accumulate draft picks at will.
