Trey Burton/Damaris Johnson

Les Bowen @LesBowen 9m

Tight end Trey Burton is on the Eagles' 53, I'm told. Good for him. Minor surprise...

They're also apparently trying to trade Damaris Johnson.

Les Bowen @LesBowen

Like, @GeoffMosherCSN I am hearing short-term IR for Arrelious Benn. And that a Damaris Johnson trade is possible

maybe James Casey is gone then? I can't see them keeping 4TE's

[Bazinga]

They kept four last year.

[McNabbTime05]

They kept four last year.

Difference is (and I could be wrong) - Last year they kept:

5 WR's and I think they may keep 6 this year (Mac, Coop, Matthews, Huff, Mahel, Smith)

3 HB and I think they may keep 4 this year (Shady, Sproles, Polk, Barner/Tucker)

Wonder how they know trey burton made 53 man roster just because he survived this wave of cuts? My understanding is that they still have over 10 more players to cut to reach that mark? Guess his source is good

I assume his agent talked with reporters after he heard from the team that they'd be keeping him.
