Brent Celek Gets (A Lot Less) Paid
Hot on the heels of Zach Ertz’s big payday, Brent Celek got himself a big payday:
#Eagles and TE Brent Celek agreed to a 3-year, $13m deal with $6m guaranteed, per sources.

Celek was due to make $4,925,000 for a $5 million cap hit next year before becoming an unrestricted free agent, so this new deal seems like a restructure that lowers his cap number number as a trade-off for two more years of being under contract. Say what you will about Howie Roseman (please do) but he’s working some decent cap management here.
