Friday morning news from ESPN NFL guy Field Yates:
Source: the Eagles adjusted the contracts of DE Chris Long and LB Nigel Bradham, creating $5.032M in 2019 cap space. Howie Roseman is always creative with the cap.

Maybe they could use that cap space to sign or trade for…. a running back!
But wait –
There’s more, and it involves Chris Long, who is maybe coming back? Or not? After the jump, here’s Yates’ response to NJ.Com’s Mike Kaye, asking if that news confirms a Long return:
Not saying that's untrue, but also worth noting that he had $1M of a $2M roster bonus that was due today that could be converted into a signing bonus and prorated. We'll see.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 15, 2019
And Long himself jumped in:
That doesn’t mean that at all.

Who said that?

I haven’t toyed with you. I haven’t said a word 🤷🏼♂️

So while we don’t know what’s going on with Chris Long, Bradham’s contract was set to count $9 million against the cap this year, with $8 million guaranteed and a $1 million bonus. Long was going to hit at $5.6 million with $3.5m guaranteed and the $2 million roster bonus Yates mentioned above. There are three voidable contract years, including this one.
Standing by for more news.

I seen Sean Brace busing table as Olive Garden the other night.
I guess posting videos on you tube on twitter doesn’t pay that well.
Howie is always creative with the cap. That’s why they shit money to spend on anyone this offseason and his setting it up to have no money to spend next season. Go Howie!
You know very little about football and absolutely nothing about the salary cap.
You are a bore.
Chris Long is a washed up has been, who’s taking up precious cap space therefore, I recommend the Eagles cut the bum and move on.
GO DODGERS!!!
Hahahah The Dodgers will never win the WS with that celebrity magic johnson running the team.
good luck with that asswipe.
Those desert people are always creative with $$$
So….are we clearing space to bring back Tra Thomas or The Axeman? We haven’t handed out enough money to guys closer to collecting social security than their draft day for my liking.
Jason Peters, Chris Long, Jason Kelce, etc returning? Ridiculous!
Please stop the (((Howie))) is good with $, that is quite hurtful.
Don’t forget Darren Sproles is still out there.
