That signing bonus counts as $1.243 million on the cap this year because that’s 1/5 of that total bonus. Based on the ESPN report, this is really a five-year deal with four years that will void automatically. Basically, they use these void years and pay out money in a bonus that prorates over the length of a contract for cap purposes. It’s definitely a kick-the-can method but it makes sense given that the league-wide cap rises every season (at least when there’s not a global pandemic). This is a trick the Eagles have been using in recent years to minimize cap hits. Does he count in future years? On a 1 yr deal? Or does the bonus not count at all? Then you have unlimited cap? /NuhUMFnx1o- 𝕎𝕋𝔽 May 20, 2022 Please explain how Bradberry counts only $2.3 against the cap. That way they could utilize his versatility without changing his position entirely. on the field as the nickel and slide Maddox back. But if the Eagles want an extra defensive back on the field, their better bet might be to put Josiah Scott or Kary Vincent Jr. This shouldn’t be the overall fix because he’s a really good nickel corner. But what happens when the Eagles want to put another safety out there? I was really high on Wallace when they drafted him in the fourth round a few years ago, but we haven’t seen it on the field yet.Īnother possibility here is for the Eagles to play Avonte Maddox at safety in certain situations. Last year, Epps was fine as a third safety and actually think he'll be OK as a starter. So there’s an argument to be made that if the Eagles don’t upgrade with a starting-caliber player, they could still use another depth player.

The only other safeties on the roster are K’Von Wallace, Jared Mayden, Andre Chachere and Reed Blankenship. If not, then the likely starters for Week 1 are Anthony Harris and Marcus Epps. We just talked about Bates, so there’s a chance the Eagles could add another safety before the 2022 season begins. Of course, the Eagles thought Williams was overpaid so they’d have to really like Bates more than Williams to sign him to a similar deal in addition to whatever they’d have to trade to get him. In fact, that Williams deal feels like a good template for Bates. If the Eagles were to trade for Bates, he’d need to be at around $14 million APY on this new contract. Justin Reid got a contract this offseason with an APY of $10.5 million. His $14 APY ranks seventh in the NFL among safeties. This offseason, the Ravens signed Williams to a five-year, $70 million deal. Although, they might need to sweeten that deal with a Day 3 pick or a player.Ģ. Should the Eagles be willing to give up a 2023 second-round pick? Yeah, that would be more appealing. But that’s probably too rich for the Eagles, even with two first-rounders next season. So even though Bates isn't as good as those two, the Bengals are going to ask for a first-rounder. In 2020, the Jets traded Jamal Adams to the Seahawks and got a first-round pick and in 2019 the Dolphins traded Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Steelers and got a first-round pick. They’d be crazy not to start there, especially when they’re talking to the Eagles, who have two first-rounders in 2023. The Bengals are going to want a first-round pick.
