With the free agency off to a roaring start, the Eagles and 31 other NFL teams have started financially retooling to advance to the postseason. Before free agency, we looked at key offseason dates starting with the first week of the 2025 league year, which began March 12.
Some dates will free up cap space for Philadelphia, while other dates have forced GM Howie Roseman to make some hard decisions.
With the second wave of free agency set to begin, here’s a look at the key dates, potential millions in salary cap space, and the players impacted courtesy of CBS Sports analyst and former agent Joel Corry
The day has passed, but $10 million (guaranteed for injury) of Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson's $20 million 2025 base salary became fully guaranteed. Johnson is a candidate for an extension or a restructure.
Several Eagles offensive players had their guarantees vest a couple of days ago. Exactly $30.84 million of Super Bowl MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts' injury guaranteed $51 million 2026 base salary is already fully guaranteed. The remaining $20.16 million is fully guaranteed. A.J. Brown's $28.75 million 2026 base salary and $250,000 2026 workout bonus, which are both guaranteed for injury, became fully guaranteed. DeVonta Smith's $13.25 million 2026 base salary, $510,000 of 2026 per-game roster bonuses ($30,000 for each game active), and $240,000 2026 workout bonus, all of which were fully guaranteed at signing, became guaranteed. Landon Dickerson's $18.85 million 2026 base salary is guaranteed for injury. A total of $10 million of the $18.85 million is fully guaranteed.
The Eagles had a ten-day period between March 11 and March 21 to exercise options for wide receiver A.J. Brown, offensive guard Landon Dickerson, offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith's fake 2030, 2029, 2029, and 2029 contract years ends.
The Eagles would gain millions in cap space with these moves alone.

The Eagles had a ten-day period between March 11 and March 21 to exercise options for wide receiver A.J. Brown, offensive guard Landon Dickerson, offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith's fake 2030, 2029, 2029, and 2029 contract years ends.
Brown's fully guaranteed $29.75 million 2025 base salary drops to a fully guaranteed $1.17 million with a $28.58 million payment. For Dickerson, $6.82 million must be paid for his $7.79 million 2025 base salary, of which $7.74 million is fully guaranteed, to drop to a fully guaranteed $1.17 million. In Mailata's case, he has a $19.375 million 2025 base salary, where $18.875 million is fully guaranteed. It's cut to a fully guaranteed $1.17 million when an $18.205 million payment is made for the option year. With Smith, there is a required $11.421 million payment to reduce his fully guaranteed $12.591 million 2025 base salary to a fully guaranteed $1.17 million.
