Howie Roseman, the Philadelphia Eagles’ executive vice president of football operations, continues to do positive things for the team.

The move is expected to clear roughly $7.1 million in cap space for the cap space depleted team.

Source: the Eagles have created $7.5M in cap space for 2018 by restructuring OT Lane Johnson's deal. His new cap hit is now $4.98M, down from $12.48M, with Johnson also collecting a $4.192M signing bonus.
