The Philadelphia Eagles are looking at a new salary cap setup after making Jordan Mailata one of the highest paid offensive tackles in the NFL.
The Eagles and Mailata agreed to a three-year, $66 million extension Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal, which will keep the former rugby player in Philadelphia through the 2028 season, includes a $20 million signing bonus and $48 million guaranteed, Schefter reported.
With an average salary of $22 million per year, Mailata is now the fourth-highest paid offensive tackle in the league, Schefter noted.
The extension will save the Eagles $400,000 in cap space next season, Jeff Kerr reported for CBS Sports.
