If Philadelphia thought they had a problem after Rashan Gary agreed to a five-year, $107 million extension with Green Bay, wait until Howie Roseman sees Montez Sweat’s new deal.
The Bears gave star pass-rusher Montez Sweat a 4-year that’s worth $72 million guaranteed.
The deal comes almost three months after Haason Reddick was asked about his salary and where it ranks among the NFL’s top pass rushers.
The $24.5 million per season puts Sweat ahead of Gary and on par with Myles Garrett, making him the 5th highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL.
Reddick just finished the second of a three-year, $45 million deal and he’ll now be the 17th highest paid edge rusher in the NFL per year according to Over The Cap.
Cutting Reddick would save the Eagles, while also costing them in dead cap space.

Outright cutting or trading Reddick would save the Eagles $1 million in cap space, while adding on a $20 million dead hit per Over The Cap.
GM Howie Roseman focused on adding younger talent in free agency this offseason, with the potential for impactful production on a cheap deal.
