Philadelphia currently has about $33,657,986 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $100+ million plus on both sides of the football.
The Eagles also have a Haason Reddick dilemma that’ll be resolved in the next week or more.
With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re predicting the starting lineup for Week 1 in Brazil.

Smith is looking for a contract extension after posting consecutive 1,000 yard seasons.
WR--Parris Campbell
New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell (0) is tackled by Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon (21) in the first half at MetLife Stadium on Monday, Oct. 2, 2023, in East Rutherford.
Campbell, a 2019 second-round pick out of Ohio State, is coming off a disappointing season with the Giants in which he caught 20 of 27 targets for just 104 yards while adding 191 yards as a kick returner.
Campbell’s most productive season came in 2022 with Colts, as he logged 63 catches for 623 yards, and 3 receiving touchdowns. Campbell now gets a chance to compete for depth working behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
TE--Dallas Goedert

DE--Bryce Huff

DT--Jordan Davis

Slot CB --Tyler Hall

Philadelphia released Avonte Maddox this offseason, and Hall adds depth at the Nickel position, having played 78% of his career snaps in the slot.
The Wyoming product recorded 20 tackles while seeing snaps in the slot on defense and special teams last season.
He’ll likely be working to earn a similar role with Philadelphia in 2024.
