NFL free agency 2022: Contract details for the Eagles signings
The Eagles made one splash in free agency, agreeing to a deal with Haason Reddick, but there were several other value signings that should help continue the three-year retool.
Philadelphia retained Jason Kelce, Derek Barnett, Anthony Harris, Richard Rodgers, Greg Ward, and Andre Chachere while signing Kyzir White along with Reddick.
Even with the dead money from the Fletcher Cox release, the Eagles still have $20 million in cap space, and plenty of flexibility thanks to Howie Roseman.
The science is how the Eagles GM shapes a deal, and here are the contract details for the first wave of free agency via Over The Cap.

Kelce signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Eagles. The $14 million is guaranteed including a $10.13 million signing bonus, and Philadelphia made 2023 a void season as a placeholder in the event that Kelce retires or is released. He has a $2.75 million roster bonus that is guaranteed that year. If on the roster after June 2nd of 2023 a large guarantee kicks in for 2024.
