Eagles 2004 Salary Facts

[Beermonkey]

With all the talk about the Eagles not wanting to pay their players that I've been reading & hearing the last few weeks, I thought it would be interesting to see where their player salary costs stood in relation to the other teams in 2004.

While players & fans sometimes disagree with the contract values placed on individual players, I think the myth that they are "cheap" is a fallacy.
