Typically when an NFL player gets his contract restructured, it is to help out the teams current cap situation. But the Philadelphia Eagles decided to do something different for the veteran defensive end, Chris Long. It was announced on Wednesday morning that Chris Long had restructured his contract the Eagles.
While many fans would assume the move is to clear up some more cap space, it was actually to reward Long with some more guaranteed money. ESPN NFL Insider, Field Yates has reported the changes in Long’s contract as the Eagles gear up for the remainder of the free agency period in the offseason.
