Daily News | Eagles free agency: 3 low-cost players who would make sense
Restructuring Lane Johnson’s contract, converting his base salary to signing bonus specifically, would clear about $10 million in space. The Eagles could also eventually clear room by restructuring Darius Slay’s deal. The veteran cornerback, who was given permission to seek a trade last week, has a cap hit of $26 million for next year, meaning the team has to figure out a solution to lower his cost on next year’s bottom line.
Brissett was with the Colts for Sirianni’s entire tenure as offensive coordinator there and started for the team in 2019. During joint practices between the Eagles and Brissett’s Cleveland Browns last summer, Sirianni said the two have maintained a close relationship. On the field, Brissett started 11 games for Cleveland before turning things over to Deshaun Watson after his suspension. In those 11 games, he threw 12 touchdowns, six interceptions and completed 64% of his passes.
The Rams released Wagner last month, which is important for the Eagles’ potential compensatory pick formula coming out of this offseason. Players released by their former teams don’t net comp picks, which would preserve the Eagles’ hope of getting four extra picks in next year’s draft while also adding a veteran presence to a defense losing several key pieces.
Depending on Wagner’s market — Pro Football Focus projects him to sign a one-year deal worth $6.5 million — he may have to sign at a discount for the Eagles. Still, it’s feasible he’d want to sign a deal with a contending team like the Eagles even if it wasn’t for top dollar.
Ioannidis is a prototypical 3-4 defensive end who can occupy multiple gaps against the run. It’s a role that defensive coordinator Sean Desai has utilized in the past and something the Eagles currently lack, making Ioannidis an interesting option.and Fletcher Cox on the open market, the Eagles suddenly have a significant need on the interior line as they build around second-year nose tackle Jordan Davis.
