Eagles Mailbag: Compensatory confusion and cap considerations

Related Topics: Darius Slay, Philadelphia Eagles

On Friday we asked you for your mailbag questions. Today, we answer them.

Obviously the big question of the weekend is what is going on with Darius Slay, as it was reported that Slay was told he had permission to seek a trade. It is not hard to see both sides of this.

From the Eagles perspective Slay is 32, his play declined as the season progressed, and his cap hit for 2023 is scheduled to be $26.1M due to his salary jumping from $1.1M to $17M. The Eagles would very much like to reduce that number but not add any addition money.
