Eagles owe $3M in dead money after voiding Marcus Mariota’s contract
The Eagles and 31 other NFL teams have started the process of financially retooling to advance to the 2024-25 postseason.
Joel Corry of CBS Sports recently looked inside at key offseason dates starting with the first week of the 2024 league year, which begins March 13.
Some dates will free up cap space for Philadelphia, while other dates will force GM Howie Roseman to make some hard decisions.
Marcus Mariota spent one season as the backup to Jalen Hurts. If GM Howie Roseman had decided to extend the former No. 2 overall pick, the Birds could have gained over $2 million in salary cap space.

Instead, after allowing a 4:00 PM EST deadline to pass, Mariota will add $3 million to Philadelphia’s dead cap hit for 2024, and there could be more in the coming weeks.
