Interesting post re Eagles cap situation by OldSchool...

Here’s OldSchool (different poster than oldschool)...

I find it funny how the NFL media regurgitates this narrative that the Rams are all in for this year. Yet they continue to give the Eagles a free pass on building a team the same way. The worst thing about how they operate is their continual cap hell. They came into this off season in the neighborhood of $10 million over the cap. They cut a few starters and lost a couple starters to free agents while reworking a number of contracts to get to the point they're now $7 million under the cap. Today they redid starting Guard Brandon Brooks.

Now the fun part is if you take a look at next years cap.

Granted that's with this option they created when reworking Foles contract to give him a $21 million dollar option. Then you go into their 2019 free agent list and see names like Brandon Graham, Chris Long, Foles if the option isn't picked up, Ronald Darby, Jay Ajayi, Mike Wallace and Haloti Ngata.

So they are $45 million over the cap right now for next year with 7 key free agents and all the NFL can say is the Rams are all in for 2018? It's obvious they aren't alone.
