This move makes no sense for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Less than 24 hours after Cre’Von LeBlanc made the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster, vice president and general manager Howie Roseman decided to release him. In a secondary that has been haunted by injuries and poor performance over the course of the past couple of years, LeBlanc was the lone bright spot. He lived up to his nickname “Strap” when everyone receiver who stepped in front of him got strapped up.

Ce’Von also appeared to be very well-liked in the locker room during his tenure and has a great relationship with fellow cornerback Avonte Maddox. After he was signed during the 2018 season, the Eagles were forced to insert him into the starting lineup versus the New York Giants along with Chandon Sullivan and De’Vante Bausby when injuries tore through the cornerback room.

Less than two years later, he’s off the roster in a move that can only be described as a head-scratcher. Here are two reasons why one of Philly’s most recent moves might be one of the worst.
