Where The Eagles Stand
By
The biggest issue facing the Philadelphia Eagles and the rest of the NFL are
negotiations that will determine the cap for athlete’s salaries. For now, the
Eagles are one of a few teams to sign new contracts pertaining to the coming
season. Many are not pleased with the cap because there are many free agents out
there offering endorsement contracts that some cannot go for because they make
would make way over the cap.
The NFL draft will be taking place in a few weeks and free agents are already
out there promising players money for endorsing products and other merchandise
for the coming season. The Eagles are awaiting new teammates as they have a few
spots to fill. The cap has come to no surprise for most people who follow the
game. For years, people have been trying to set a limit to how much a player can
earn as a salary and for promoting products that range from soft drinks to
footwear. The Eagles signed on early in agreement with the cap, so the wait
continues for them. Union officials and NFL representatives met recently to iron
out the final details of the new contract.
Eagles fans should be in for a good season. With new players coming on board and
some old ones leaving, it should be an exciting time for sports fans. In the
coming months look out for in depth coverage of what the Eagles are up to and
how they will fare in the season. For right now, the contact concerning the cap
placed on salaries is the major issue. By next week, things should settle down
and the draft can get underway. There are many college players who are vying for
a spot on the Eagles. Let’s hope they play a good season.
