Instant analysis: Eagles restructure Alshon Jeffery’s contract

The Eagles have announced a restructured contract for WR Alshon Jeffery just one day before the team kick off their 2019 campaign.

Interestingly in the official announcement by the team, the opening line from Eagles insider Dave Spadaro is this: Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery wants to be an Eagle. The Eagles want Alshon Jeffery.

Well, any speculation about the long-term future has been put to bed, for now. The 29-year old’s base salary has been turned into a signing bonus, guaranteeing him money upfront and more importantly, buying the Eagles some cap relief down the line.
