Philadelphia Eagles: A simulation of upcoming off-season
2. Re-signings
DT Bennie Logan
Contract- 4 Years, $22 million, ($5.5 million per year)
Logan may be one of the more underappreciated players in Philadelphia.
Although Logan isn’t the dynamic inside pass rusher that his partner Fletcher Cox is (5.5 sacks in 4 seasons), he is the lynch pin of the run defense that took a significant dive when Logan was injured.
12.5 games with Logan- 93.8 averaged rushing yards allowed
3.5 games without Logan- 138.3 averaged rushing yards allowed

LT Jason Peters
*Restructured contract- 2 Years, $10 million ($5 million per year)
At 35 years old, the future NFL Hall of Fame tackle was rock solid once again during the 2016 season.
Peters played in all 16 games this season and was graded as Pro Football Focus’s 7th highest rated tackle.
With a $9.2 million cap hit, expect the Eagles and Peters to work out a new, restructured contract.
C Stefen Wisniewski
Contract- 2 Years, $4 million ($2 million per year)
After cutting Jason Kelce in this simulation, the Eagles will need a veteran backup that can fill in at both guard and center.
Wisniewski played well at both guard spots in 2016, but he mostly played center with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That may be his natural position.
The former Jaguar has stressed he wants to start, and he played well enough in 2016 to get a shot to do so in Philadelphia.
