1. Ryan Mathews

Once upon a time, Ryan Mathews‘ goal was to someday be as good as LaDainian Tomlinson. He didn’t quite reach that plateau, but for all intents and purposes, Mathews was a good pro.

He served the Eagles well in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’. He toted the rock 261 times over two seasons. That led to exactly 1,200 of his career 5,261 career rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in Eagles green.

On August 15th of 2017, the Eagles released Mathews as opposed to their other alternative, waiting on him to recover from offseason neck surgery. He hasn’t found his way onto another roster since that decision.

2. Bennie Logan

Bennie Logan was once seen as a nice ‘Robin’ to Fletcher Cox‘s ‘Bat Man’. He just thought he should be ‘Bat Man’ somewhere else. he’s still waiting on that to materialize as he’s now been on two rosters over the past two seasons.

How has he done you ask? He signed a one-year, $8 million dollar deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, and after they decided 52 tackles and 1.5 sacks weren’t worth their investment, he landed in Tennessee with the Titans. He signed a one-year, $4 million dollar deal there, and after his inability to crack the starting lineup (and possibly his 14 tackle season with no sacks), they decided to part ways with him as well.

No NFL team has signed him for the 2019 season.
