The Eagles don’t have a coach. They do have more placekickers than quarterbacks. Almost twice as many offensive linemen as defensive linemen. And no fewer than a dozen linebackers.
The Eagles have 58 players under contract for 2016, including those 12 linebackers, 11 offensive linemen, 10 defensive backs, six defensive linemen, six wide receivers, five running backs, three tight ends and four specialists.
And one quarterback, who’s 1-5 in his last six starts.
Next year’s Eagles have cap hits ranging from $9.7 million for Byron Maxwell down to $450,000 for Randall Evans and several other second-year pros.
And next year’s cap includes $1,869,208 in dead money, including $1 million for Evan Mathis, $248,514 for Jaylen Watkins, who is back on the roster; $124,257 for Matt Barkley, who’s now with the Cards; and $53,000 for Earl Wolff, who hasn’t played a snap in an Eagles uniform since November 2014.
What kind of team will the new coach inherit? Here’s a look at everybody currently on the active roster and everybody that will count against next year’s cap. Listed is their base salary and cap figure for each remaining year they’re under contract.
Nine current Eagles — Sam Bradford, Thaddeus Lewis, Seyi Ajirotutu, Vinny Curry, Cedric Thornton, Najee Goode, E.J. Biggers, Nolan Carroll, Walter Thurmond — are unrestricted free agents.
