After the playoffs, the NFL will audit incentives, bonuses, etc by team. That figure will be added/subtracted to the number below.

Howie Roseman had his work cut out for him last offseason from a salary cap standpoint, but the Eagles’ current salary cap woes are now improving and looking good heading into 2022.
The 2022 salary cap will have a floor of about $208 million, and it could rise even more depending on how things shake in regards to the 17th game and trickledown from the recent TV deals.
ESPN’s Field Yates took a look at what NFL teams rolled over in cap room and the Eagles saved $16.4 million to add to the estimated $14 million that they’ll have available when the new league year begins.
There will be looming roster decisions to be made to help the Eagles get back to some semblance of fiscal comfort, and the potential for $30 million more to be freed up if Philadelphia makes moves or restructure the deals for Fletcher Cox, Brandon Brooks, and others.
