Where do the Eagles rank in positional spending among rest of NFL?

The Eagles made some noise during the 2023 NFL free agency period, inking Rashaad Penny, Terrell Edmunds, Justin Evans, Kentavius Street, Greedy Williams, Nicholas Morrow, and Marcus Mariota to deals during the first wave.

Philadelphia currently has about $20,316,938 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they’re spending about $80+ million plus on both sides of the football, with the offensive and defensive lines carrying the most significant chunk of cap space.

The Eagles will again be a Super Bowl favorite in the NFC and have one of the most talented rosters despite being 24th in average positional spending.

Here’s where Philadelphia sits in positional spending on both sides of the ball thanks to Over The Cap.
