How much are the Slay and Bradberry contracts really worth?

The Eagles figured out a way to keep Darius Slay and James Bradberry but here’s a closer look at their new deals. By Dave Zangaro

His basic philosophy is "$10 mil in this years salary cap is worth more than $10 mil in the salary cap in 2-3 years time"

Common sense prevailed it looks like.

CJ might want to take a look around for a new agent.

Solid addition.

God he's acted like an absolute tit since then.

Jimmy with the Bijan buzz kill & he's right but still...

Drafting Bijan Robinson at 10th overall would be a bad use of resources for the Eagles

If you're a Bijan Robinson fan, don't get your hopes up.

Highest paid player in NFL history, and fully deserved.

Eagles agree to five-year contract extension with Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Monday that they have agreed to a five-year contract extension with quarterback Jalen Hurts that will run through 2028.

$51m per is fair enough & 5 years also works for me rather than the longer deals we often see these days.

 

[trikster]

it's what was expected, $179 guaranteed. Burrows and Herbert will get more because their current salaries are higher I expect. Interested to see how it is structured, knowing Howie it will have more pushed later when the cap has increased.

Ouchy. So much for team friendly.

Winning a superbowl with this sort of cap hit for a QB is the exception, not the rule.

 

[Jatz]

Yeah knew it was coming and yet I think it makes it a million times harder to win it all now. Not impossible but so much harder.

 

[rumply]

It's almost certain there will be substantial cap bumps in the next couple of years in the order of 12% per year, so very soon $50mil will not be that big an issue. & as you say trikster , this deal will be backloaded to the max.

& we are running back a very decent roster. The window is still open & sure, it wont be easy but since when has making a SB ever been.

Happy guys?

These are the numbers I was waiting to see ... and the Hurts to Jones comparisons (both in play and contracts) for the next forever will be fun as all hell.

Of note is the new deal supposedly includes a no trade clause, which is reported as the first time in franchise history.

Baffles me how other GM's aren't structuring deals in a similar way

 

[Southerntakeover]

Isn't the next two years thing misleading because it's still last year of the rookie deal?

Giants declined option on Jones, the clowns

2023 is the last year of his rookie deal yes. Spotrac have his 2023 cap hit at $4.8mil so not sure if one is wrong or they re-worked 2023 (if that is even allowed)

 

[George]

Love the way the deal is structured, Hurts doing us a solid by pushing the majority of his contract into the latter years. Great stuff and management by Howie & co.

Jalen Hurts extension: How Eagles set up deal similar to Patrick Mahomes' record-setting contract with Chiefs

The Eagles -- and Hurts -- followed the Chiefs' successful blueprint for a QB contract

16 of 22 starters signed up for the next 2 seasons & 2 1st round picks on the way, or whatever happens there. Gotta say I was hoping for a decent result but this is ****ing outstanding work from the FO.
