The Philadelphia Eagles have $32.9 million in salary cap space remaining after the first wave of NFL free agency, according to Over The Cap. This puts them among the top seven teams with the most cap space heading into the second wave of free agency and the upcoming NFL draft. The Eagles were able to increase their cap space through a contract extension for Jordan Davis, a one-year deal for Dallas Goedert, and a renegotiated contract for Michael Carter II.

Why it matters

The Eagles' significant salary cap space gives them flexibility to continue building their roster and retaining key players. This will allow them to be active in the remaining free agency period and potentially make moves in the draft to further strengthen their team for the upcoming season.

The details

The Eagles struck a huge deal on the second day of free agency, landing cornerback Riq Woolen. They also signed Jordan Davis to a three-year, $78 million contract extension, while continuing to work on extensions for other elite defenders like Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Moro Ojomo. The team also brought back Dallas Goedert on a one-year deal, while losing players like Nakobe Dean, Reed Blankenship, Jaelan Phillips, Adoree' Jackson, and Marcus and Jahan Dotson.

  • The 2026 NFL free agency period officially kicked off on Wednesday, March 11.
  • The majority of the star-studded deals were agreed to on Monday, March 9, and Tuesday, March 10, during the opening of the league's legal tampering window.
