As you can see, Graham’s contract is back-loaded. The Eagles clearly wanted to keep his cap number low for the 2019 season.
Graham’s cap number takes a big jump in 2020. The Eagles also have 10 days from the start of the 2020 league year to exercise Graham’s option for the 2021, according to Sheil Kapadia.
