Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Players that could be released in 2018

As Free Agency approaches, which Philadelphia Eagles players could potentially be released to free up cap space?

The offseason is always a tricky time in the NFL. Many teams will not only sign new free agents during the offseason. But they will also release players that are under contract beyond that specific year. Normally, the Philadelphia Eagles are the big spenders in the offseason. Over the last few years they have paid big money to players such as Alshon Jeffery, DeMarco Murray, and Byron Maxwell to name a few.

This season will be a lot different, though. As the Eagles are currently sitting four million dollars over the cap, they have the worst cap situation in the entire NFL. So what, they can’t bring in any more big names this season from the market? But what will they do when it comes to retaining some guys that had big seasons in 2017?

Well, that’s when players have to start getting cut. As we all should know by now, the NFL is a business first and foremost. As much as we would hate to release certain players, age and production is what matters most when it comes to getting paid rather than relationships with the organization and the fans. So who could potentially be released from the Eagles in the next month or so?
