Jettisoning a veteran player often comes with a price in the NFL, and not just because of the loss of skill and experience. In most cases, these annual late-winter moves leave a team trying to create more space under the salary cap with a certain amount of dead money. That can put the squeeze on free agent pursuits. The Philadelphia Eagles are the extreme example this year with a $33.8 million charge for trading quarterback Carson Wentz.(AP Photo/Rich Schultz, File)
