The Philadelphia Eagles have plenty of space under the salary cap entering the 2015 offseason, which is a good thing, because they need it. Between taking care of their own and filling needs through free agency, the Birds have a lot of work to do before they reach the draft.
As well off as they are already, the Eagles can easily clear more space should they desire. There are plenty of veterans on the roster due to make way more money than warranted, any of whom could be cut in the blink of an eye for big savings—savings that could be applied to younger, cheaper replacements or needs elsewhere.
Of course, it’s not always as simple as taking a high-priced or ineffective player and cutting him. Some roster spots are protected by the amount of dead money a release would create against the cap. For others, there may not be a clear-cut replacement available.
That being said, there are at least five players the Eagles could consider cutting Wednesday, Feb. 4, who would not only save the organization a chunk of cash, but theoretically, they are not pivotal to the club’s success in 2015. We investigate who those might be and why they could be considered expendable.
