The Eagles have handed out eight new contracts since the end of last season -- and they are heading into free agency with more money than they started with.

Welcome to a world run by top personnel executive Howie Roseman.

Whether or not Roseman can build a winning team with good football players remains to be seen, but he can sure manipulate the cap, and he has been doing just that, especially after the trades of running back DeMarco Murray, Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso.

So how much cap space to the Eagles have?

After starting with roughly $30 million, here is a breakdown of where the Eagles now stand.

Sam Bradford: The Eagles handed Bradford a two-year deal worth $36 million, with $22 million guaranteed. In the first year of the contract, Bradford has a cap hit of $12.5 million.

Cap space after Bradford deal: $17.5 million

Byron Maxwell: Maxwell is entering the second season of a six-year deal he signed last offseason worth $63 million. He was scheduled to have a cap hit of 8.5 million this upcoming season. By trading Maxwell, the Eagles saved $4.9 million against the cap.

Cap space after Maxwell trade: $22.4 million

DeMarco Murray: The Eagles getting rid of Murray was thought to be impossible, as he was in the second year of a contract that was going to have a cap hit of $9 million this season. Had the Eagles released Murray, they would have lost another $4 million in cap space. By trading him, however, the Eagles gained an additional $4 million in cap space.

Cap space after Murray trade: $26.4 million

Kiko Alonso: Alonso was in the final year of the contract he signed as a rookie, and had a cap hit of just $991,000 next season. By trading him, the Eagles took that money completely off the books.

Cap space left after trading Maxwell, Murray and Kiko: $27.4 million
