The Eagles were close to the cap limit already. However, with the restructure, the Eagles now have the ability to bring in another vet or use this on rookie contracts.
Now, I know this isn’t the answer you want to hear. But, this move was so the Eagles could sign their rookies, normally 3-4 million each year.
But, if it wasn’t, who would you want the Eagles to sign?????
