As the offseason rumbles on and Howie Roseman continues to make moves, there’s one that has seemed inevitable from the off – parting ways with Alshon Jeffery. Of course, this was always going to be problematic. At 30-years-old, Jeffery carries a whopping $26M dead cap penalty if he’s cut, or a $15.9M hit if traded. In the mind of just about every Eagles fan on the planet, this feels like a necessary step to take. If that’s the case then why is Alshon still an Eagle?
After the new CBA was locked into place, it actually gave the Eagles some leverage to spread that dead-money out over two years if they cut Jeffery.
