5 Players Who Could Be Cut

[thegodfather]

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — While we’re all fixated — and understandably so — on the Philadelphia Eagles’ search for a new head coach, the team will have a lot of key personnel decisions to make this offseason.

In his first year with personnel control, Chip Kelly certainly made his fair-share of mistakes. His biggest mistakes came in overpaying for new players (DeMarco Murray, Byron Maxwell). However, when it came to getting rid of declining players that have had previous success in Philly (Trent Cole and Todd Herremans), Kelly did a decent job.

With Kelly out, Howie Roseman (gulp) will oversee these crucial decisions.

Here are the five big-name Eagles’ players, who are under contract, that Roseman will have to take a long, hard look.

5. Brent Celek

Age: 30

Contract: 1 year remaining (UFA in 2017)

2016 cap hit: $5M

Dead money if cut: $0

Money saved if cut: $5M

Chance he’s cut: 90%

4. DeMeco Ryans

Age: Turns 32 in July

Contract: 1 year remaining (UFA in 2017)

2016 cap hit: $4.5M

Dead money if cut: $1M

Money saved if cut: $3.5M

3. Jason Peters

Age: Turns 34 on January 22nd

Contract: 3 years remaining (UFA in 2019)

2016 cap hit: $9,237,500

Dead money if cut: $3M

Personally, I want Peters and Sproles back.

I like Celek, but his contribution has diminished, and he's not quite worth his cost. With a no-cap-hit cut, I guess it's time to send him on his way.

Ryans - I'm thinking that he still has some value, especially if they stick with the base 3-4 defense.

Peters needs to be restructured and moved to guard, so that they can draft a younger, long term LT replacement. He knows this in inevitable, so just get it done.

Sproles needs to stay. He's been one of the bright spots that is still well worth his cost.

Forget Cooper. I was willing to give him another year, but he pretty much disappeared this year. This waste of a roster spot would be well filled with a fast, young WR who can keep opposing DBs on their heels.

DeMeco was pretty bad this year even in run support. He's finished. With 2 inside linebackers who are better and one who has the potential to be better I don't know if he's worth the cost even in a 3-4.

This defense could take the next step if they switch to a 4-3 IMO.

STFU and go away

I would like to see Peters and Celek back but restructure and NO way they let go of Sproles.

Just because you and your butt boy do not like information posted is not reason to respond with sarcasm, there are other people who answered without being an ignorant fuck. So you and IG can go spoon and talk all the shit you want.

I answered, and I still think your antics are getting old. It may be "information posted," but it's still lame-assed copy and pasting. Link to a source, give your opinion, and move on.

I posted something the other day and got reamed for not having a source, so I copy and paste now that is a source. So some of these guys need to make up their minds source or no source.
