The Eagles created close to $2.5 million in cap space on Friday by restructuring the contract of kicker Jake Elliott.
The league salary cap is expected to exceed $224 million in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $11 million in cap space.
The Birds are set to have 19 pending free agents, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.
One of the most consistent kickers in the NFL, Elliott made 20 of 23 field goals in the regular season, while also connecting on 51 of 53 extra-point attempts.
