Eagles Vanquish Chiefs in Super Bowl, Highlight Salary-Cap Magic

The Eagles beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Philadelphia built its roster with unique salary cap techniques used by one of the NFL’s most renowned GMs.

The Eagles denied the Chiefs a historic three-peat in Super Bowl LIX, thanks to a savvy team-building approach from one of the league’s most revered GMs, Howie Roseman.

Sunday night’s 40-22 victory over Kansas City gave Philadelphia its second Lombardi Trophy, and validated the franchise’s commitment to new-age roster construction—a testament to owner Jeffrey Lurie’s belief in his front office.

“Credit to our coaching staff led by Nick [Sirianni], Howie and his staff, unbelievable,” Lurie said after the win. “And by the way, about 200 other people that are the support staff that you’ll never hear about.”

Led by quarterback Jalen Hurts (this year’s Super Bowl MVP) and Saquon Barkley, this Eagles roster was built to win now, and relied on a burgeoning new salary cap technique to do it—the implementation of void years. Those stretch a player’s cap hit past the seasons included in his contract to ensure additional cap space in the short term.

And while the Eagles already have more than $1.2 billion in cap allocations between 2025 and 2030—the most in the NFL—much of their core is young. Hurts, Barkley, and receiver A.J. Brown are all under 30 years old and have multiple years left on their contracts. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter and defensive backs Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell are early in their rookie deals.

Signing on the Dotted Line

Roseman and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni are now likely in for contract extensions that should come with huge raises, as both of their deals are set to expire after the 2025 season.

Sirianni has been making $7 million per season, while Roseman’s salary is unknown. 

The Eagles will likely be looking for a new offensive coordinator, though, as Kellen Moore is believed to be taking the Saints head coaching position, which was the final head coach vacancy in the NFL this year. Philadelphia will retain its defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, who signed a three-year contract with the team last offseason.
