The Eagles will have to make a few moves because they are currently sitting at $18 million over the cap. Is Foles $20 million option or $29 million franchise even counted as part of their cap right now?
The 20 million was in that number. So they save 22 when he opts out, because he has to pay back 2 million as well. Then they hit him with the franchise number, so they're just shy of 10 mil over. Now they need to trade him before whatever deadline day it is (not sure if its new league year free agency opens date or some time after that).
But then if they just shed 7m$ elsewhere (or whatever the number is), then they can hold on to Nick longer.
