The Eagles stunned the NFL on Thursday, signing former Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery to a one-year deal worth $14 million.

On the field, this is a major get for the Eagles, because it bolsters their offense and -- along with the signing of former Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers WR Torrey Smith -- gives quarterback Carson Wentz a capable receiving corps.

Here is a breakdown of what it means for the Eagles' salary cap:

Cap: $167 million

Roll Over: According to the NFLPA, the Eagles are set to roll over $7.9 million in cap space from the 2016 season to the 2017 offseason. With the rollover, the Eagles cap is set at $174.9 million.

Dead Money: The Eagles have $7.6 million in dead money on their books -- $5.5 million from Sam Bradford, $904,000 from Eric Rowe, $250,000 from Leodis McKelvin, and $600,000 among other players.

Contracts: The Eagles have $181.5 million in committed contracts for the 2017 season, once Jeffery ($14 million), wide receiver Torrey Smith ($5 million) and offensive guard Chance Warmack ($1.51 million) They can release players to lower that number.

Cap Space: Using $174.9 million as the Eagles' cap, the Eagles are now $6.5 million over the NFL cap.

Rookies: The Eagles must budget roughly $5 million for their 2017 rookie class. They will have to release players in order to sign rookies.

Free Agents: The following players are set to become free agents: LB Stephen Tulloch, CB Nolan Carroll, OL Stefen Wisniewski, DE Bryan Braman, DL Bennie Logan, LB Najee Goode, RB Kenjon Barner, TE Trey Burton

Biggest Cap Hits: The top five cap hits for next season are OT Jason Peters ($11.2 million), OT Lane Johnson ($10 million), DE Fletcher Cox ($9.4 million), DE Vinny Curry ($9 million) and DE Connor Barwin ($8.3 million)

Possible Cap Casualties:

Ryan Mathews: Cutting Mathews would save $4 million, leaving $1 million in dead cap money.

Darren Sproles: Cutting Sproles would save $4 million, leaving zero in dead cap money.

Mychal Kendricks: Cutting Kendricks, and designating him as a post-June 1 cost, will save the Eagles $5 million.
