Done Deal: Eagles Sign RB Miles Sanders to Four-Year Contract, Free Up $49.4M in Cap Space
*Philadelphia, PA – March 12, 2025*
The Philadelphia Eagles have officially reached an agreement with running back Miles Sanders on a four-year contract, reuniting him with the team after his stint with the Carolina Panthers. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the deal significantly impacts the Eagles’ salary cap, creating $49.446 million in cap space for the 2025 season.
Sanders, who spent the 2023 season with the Panthers after signing a four-year, $25.4 million deal in free agency, now returns to Philadelphia, where he was originally drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. During his first stint with the Eagles, Sanders emerged as a key offensive weapon, recording a career-best 1,269 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in the 2022 season, helping the team reach Super Bowl LVII.
While his tenure in Carolina did not go as planned due to injuries and a reduced role in the offense, the Eagles clearly see value in bringing Sanders back. The move strengthens their running back depth alongside Kenneth Gainwell and provides quarterback Jalen Hurts with another versatile weapon in the backfield.
The financial implications of the deal are significant, as the Eagles now gain nearly $50 million in cap space for 2025, which could be used to reinforce other key positions on both sides of the ball.
More details on the contract structure and official confirmation from the team are expected soon. Stay tuned for further updates.
