Eagles Restructure Kicker's Contract, Aim for Accuracy

0:00It's March 19th for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Philadelphia Eagles are tweaking their salary cap this offseason and General Manager Howie Roseman just restructured Kicker Jake Elliott's contract. It's a smart move that gives Elliott a fully guaranteed $5 million while cutting the team's cap hit by nearly a quarter million dollars. Roseman has been busy all offseason, resigning players, adjusting deals, and adding void years to new contracts to create more breathing remunder. Last season, Elliott had a rough year, missing eight kicks in total, including seven field goals and one extra point. That kind of inconsistency stood out for a guy who's usually steady. What worried fans most was his long-range accuracy. He went just four out of eight from 50 yards or more, a spot where he's been reliable in the past. Elliott hopes to bounce back strong next season, and the Eagles desperately need that dependable leg to stay in contention. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor, LinkedIn the description.
