The NFLPA has released its latest cap figures for the 2017 offseason, and the Eagles have a little less money than expected

According to the NFLPA, the Eagles will carry over $7.9 million in cap space from 2016 into 2017, which is slightly less than the $8.25 million they were projected to carry over.

Any money not spent in the 2016 season is allowed to be moved over to the 2017 payroll, giving teams more money and cap space.

Here is a complete look at the Eagles' cap situation, and how the $7.9 million in carry over in cap space from 2016 will impact 2017.

Projected Cap: Somewhere between $170 to $166 million. For this article, we will use $168 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.

Dead Money: The Eagles have $6.8 million in dead money on their books -- $5.5 million from Sam Bradford, and $904,000 from Eric Rowe.

Contracts: The Eagles currently have $158 million in committed contracts for the 2017 season. They can release players to lower that number, but as of now, they enter the offseason with $158 million committed to next season.

Cap Space: Using $168 million as the NFL cap, the Eagles have around $12 million in cap space ($168 million cap - $158 million in contracts - $6.8 million in dead money + $7.9 million in carry over)

Rookies: The Eagles will have to budget around $5 million for their 2017 rookie class, which comes out of the $12 million cap space. That brings the Eagles down to $7 million.

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, S Jaylen Watkins, 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: Jason Peters: Cutting Peters would save $9.2 million, leave $2 million in dead cap

Connor Barwin: Cutting Barwin would save $7.75 million, leave $600,000 in dead cap

Ryan Mathews: Cutting Mathews would save $4 million, leave $1 million in dead cap

Leodis McKelvin: Cutting McKelvin would save $3 million, leave $200,000 in dead cap

Darren Sproles: Cutting Sproles would save $4 million, leave $0 in dead cap

Realistic space: If the Eagles do move on from Barwin, Mathews, McKelvin and Sproles, the team would add an additional $18.75 million in cap space.

Outside of Sproles, the team could move on from those players even if there wasn't cap incentives.

It is also very possible the team could re-do the deals of Peters to lower his cap hit.

If you add the possible money gained by releasing players, plus the $7 million they already have, the Eagles could go into the 2017 offseason with around $25 million in cap space.
