How the Eagles have such a stacked roster

But cap management is just a part of their success. They've also drafted extremely well, getting excellent production out of players who are still on rookie deals:
- Jalen Carter (All Pro)
- Cam Jurgens (Pro Bowl)
- Quinyon Mitchell (rookie, Pro Bowl alternate)
- Cooper DeJean (rookie, Pro Bowl alternate)
- Jordan Davis
- Nolan Smith
- Nakobe Dean
- Jalyx Hunt (rookie)
- Kelee Ringo (Pro Bowl alternate)
- Milton Williams

And they've bought low on a number of free agents who have performed well:
- Zack Baun (All Pro)
- Mekhi Becton
- CJGJ
- Avonte Maddox

But to OP's point, I'm fairly certain that this year they'll be able to re-sign their own FAs (Jurgens, maybe Davis/Dean/Williams or Sweat) and release a few guys (Slay? Bradberry? Huff?) so that they'll somehow have as much or more cap space as us ... Just a very well-run team.
