Evan Mathis released.

Aren't the Feagles on the hook for his current contract? That means we can offer less.

Maybe he just wants out and his contract demands are simply a ploy to get him cut so he can sign elsewhere for basically the same money.

I could buy that.

And if it truly is $5 million per year, I think we can make it happen with just a few personnel moves.

I was just reading the same info. My question is; do we save money by cutting anyone post June 1?

Well, we just signed DT Williams to a one year deal. This might make it too difficult to afford him.

Please make this happen.

our cap (and everyone's) is in flux until we know who the top 51 are. We have a lot of vets in the top 51 that probably won't make it: Hightower, Wilson, Phillips, Sanford? Harris? and who is Jerry Franklin? Every little bit helps- that's about 1.1 right there

I do think we have $5 million to scrape together if he would take that. Right now we are $3 million under.

No, the Eagles don't owe him anything, but he is a $2 mill cap hit
