The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing veteran safety Kevin Byard, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
This news comes as no surprise whatsoever. The Eagles are clearing over $13 million in cap space with this move while creating less than $1.4 million in dead money.
The Eagles acquired Byard from the Tennessee Titans prior to the NFL trade deadline this past season when they shipped out a 2024 fifth-round pick, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and Terrell Edmunds.
The trade obviously didn’t work out quite as well as the Eagles would have hoped.
