Cowboys and Eagles roster-building efforts are very different
There is an extreme difference in the way the Philadelphia Eagles construct their roster compared to how the Dallas Cowboys do it. We are all aware that the Cowboys’ front office is very selective in spending its cap resources. They are very risk-averse with their free agent spending, sticking to a yearly budget, and dragging out the extensions of their own players as long as possible to ensure what they are buying is a good investment.
The Eagles’ front office is the polar opposite. They are aggressive in their free agent spending, circumventing annual cap space by pushing costs into future seasons, and jumping on a contract extension at the first opportunity. The Eagles' usage of void years has become so excessive that the NFL is now having lengthy discussions about how the salary cap is working and if teams are using it in the manner in which it was intended.
Suffice it to say, the Eagles are not using it for its “intended spirit” but rather exploiting it to its fullest. Mind you, Howie Roseman is not breaking any rules. How a team chooses to spread out costs is up to them, and the Eagles are just one of those teams that is spending like crazy now and spreading it out like nothing we’ve seen before.
