Report: Eagles Clearing a Ton of Cap Space

We didn’t have numbers on the new Rodney McLeod deal, but we do now.

Per Field Yates:

Source: Eagles S Rodney McLeod’s reworked deal with the Eagles drops his 2019 base salary from $7.5M to $1.5M. In total, the move creates $7.469M in cap space for Philly.

Wow.

Edit: more from Rapoport –

#Eagles & S Rodney McLeod agreed to a restructured contract that pays him $3M base for 2019 with a $1M more if he plays all 16 games, source said. McLeod, coming off knee surgery, was to make $7.5M this year on a deal through 2020. The last year was cut off & he’s free after 2019
