It is a different sport, but the Philadelphia Eagles’ offseason strategy involving its own free agents is something General Manager Elton Brand and the Philadelphia 76ers might want to look at.
Specifically, Howie Roseman & Co. are not afraid to cut players who are good guys and have a lot of sentimental value, but make just too much money for salary cap purposes in relation to their performances.
What has happened, on more than a few times, is the Eagles end up with the player returning to the Birds’ Nest, albeit with a smaller paycheck and no grounds to complain about their role.
