5 worst Philadelphia Eagles contracts from 2010-2019

So, if we’re talking bad Philadelphia Eagles contracts, where do we begin?

Excellent cap management has been a hallmark since the beginning of the Howie Roseman era with the Philadelphia Eagles, but there have been a handful of mistakes along the way. Since he originally earned the title of general manager in 2010, few figures in the NFL better encapsulated cap savvy than Howie Roseman.

Throughout the decade, the Eagles have been a roller coaster on the field, cycling through three head coaches, the “Dream Team”, and the team’s first Super Bowl victory. Behind it all was Roseman, except for a wild season in 2015. He helped bring in a cavalcade of free agents, crafting what has been one of the most chaotically entertaining eras in Philly sports history.

As the new decade of Eagles football begins, sort of, Roseman, owner Jeffrey Lurie, and the rest of the organization are at a sort of crossroads. Many of the major pieces of the 2017 Super Bowl-winning team are gone, or nearing the last phase of their respective careers. A new era of Eagles football predicated on speed and the continual development of Carson Wentz, will be the likely bedrock for the next several seasons, but as any team looks to the future, it also must look at what went wrong in the past.

For Roseman, acquiring major free agents was both the bright spot of his tenure, but it still featured its fair share of shortcomings. Naming his biggest misses contractually after a wild decade isn’t an exact science, but it’s hard to ignore how bad these five were.
