Before the 2018 offseason had begun, the Philadelphia Eagles were in bad bad shape financially. Unlike like the rest of the NFL teams, the Eagles were slightly over the cap. With a ‘cap guru’ like Howie Roseman, though, anything is possible. All it took was a little negotiating and convincing to get player’s to restructure their contracts and just like that; the Eagles are under the cap limit.
Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz were the first set of guys who have decided to change some figures on their contract to help the Eagles out.
