And minutes after doing that his replacement ...

Eagles LB Paul Worrilow was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury ... Eagles signed LB Paul Worrilow, formerly of the Lions, to a one-year contract.
Word is it's an ACL and he's out for the season.

Well, we certainly learned last season you can never have too many linebackers...

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency

Not sure we can afford him as his projected salary was over 7mil...

What's got me curious is that as well as he played, why does Jim Schwarz not like him???

Lacks play making/ball hawking ability. Solid starter but that's about it.

FWIW, I like him over AJ Klein but I doubt Kendricks ends up in NO.

Yeah, you're right about that; could see his sack numbers being where they are as he's solid in pass coverage with a good number of passes defensed...

But you're right his career numbers of forced fumbles (6), fumble recoveries (5), and interceptions (3) in six years is not going to get it done....

And Klein is more the thumper, SAM linebacker where Kendricks is a WLB...

Robertson has more production than that as the WILL...

They talked about his release ... and the subsequent Worrilow injury .. on Moving the Chains yesterday. Kirwin said it was a salary cap move. With other moves made Kendricks' cap hit would have put them over at the 4:00 daily deadline. If they can juggle a bit they may be able to pick him back up. Most other teams are in the same boat so there is a good chance Kendricks clears waivers. If they would have released someone else with a lower cap hit that player may not clear waivers. Kirwin added that this time of year the daily cap decisions are the toughest.

If he wants to stay there; seems they'd done better if they didn't want him hitting the market by re-working his contract...

Since Jim Schwarz arrived, they've been trying to show him the door...
