Eagles GM Roseman skillfully manages the salary cap & assembles a SB-worthy team, but there's a downside: dead money, the guaranteed money to departed players, whether through trade or release.
In their pursuit of a championship team, the Eagles have accumulated a substantial amount of dead money, currently standing at over $54 million in dead cap space, the fourth-most of any team in the NFL.

DT Cox, still on the team, generates the bulk of the Eagles' dead money. His release and re-signing led to over $15M in dead money. CB Bradberry adds to it with just under $5M.

Luckily, the Eagles have no dead money in 2024. Unlike some teams, they have a clean slate, paving the way for future success in their quest for another Super Bowl.
