As per NFL reporter Mike Garafolo, the new contract reduced Brandon’s salary cap from $19.4 million to $7.1 million, meaning the 2022 arrangement reduced his pay by an eye-watering $12.3 million.

Mike writes in the tweet: “The only ’22 cash is a $1.12m non-guaranteed base salary.”

According to NJ.com, Brandon was initially set to make $13.4 million this NFL season, but had ‘no guaranteed money left on his previous deal.’

The NFL veteran, who joined the Eagles in 2016, signed a four-year, $56.3 million contract extension in November 2019. However, due to several injuries, he was only able to play nine regular-season games since penning that deal.
