Johnson had $5.88 million of his base salary converted and Elliott had $2.715 million of his base salary converted. Combined, the moves created $6.9 million in cap room for 2022.
Johnson sighed a four-year, $72 million extension with the Eagles in 2019. The longtime Eagles right tackle has started 112 games for the club over his career.
Elliott also signed his five-year, $21.8 million extension in 2019. The 2017 fifth-round pick has connected on 84.3 percent of his field goals and 95.1 percent of his extra points.
