was at 4-3 WILL, playing inside a 3-4 doesn't deploy him to his best strengths, as he's shown. Hopefully he'll figure it out as he's still a young dude as well.

That's true, but Ogletree is still a better player than Kendricks. Meanwhile, I don't think Kendricks has been in a 3-4 since our old coach Bill Davis was running the Eagles D.

Eagles LB Paul Worrilow suffers torn ACL during OTAs

The Eagles' linebacker depth took a big hit on the first day of organized team activities.
Veteran Paul Worrilow suffered a torn ACL in Tuesday's OTAs, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. He is done for the 2018 season.
Worrilow was carted off the field after colliding with a teammate during practice, per multiple reporters on the scene. Worrilow had an air cast placed on his right leg, indicating a potentially serious knee injury.
Worrilow, 28, signed with Philadelphia in early April after recording 30 tackles as a part-time starter in Detroit last season.
A 43-game starter in his first three NFL seasons with the Falcons, Worrilow has fallen into a rotational role the past two years. He was ostensibly brought in to provide insurance at middle linebacker with starter Jordan Hicks recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon.
With Worrilow done for the season, the Eagles likely will be in the market for another journeyman linebacker.
He said he likes Kendricks but Schwartz had it in for him for some reason and Kendricks is a bit of a loner which was odd for a team as closely knit as the Eagles are.
So, nothing earth shattering but it sounds like there was a combination of him not fitting in and high cap number which led to his release. My buddy also said that they have been shopping him. So, I guess there weren't any takers at that salary.
I am assuming that they gave him a deadline to restructure Â
and he said No. They didn't want to pay the June 1st money and just did it today. Worilow is a JAG, I assume he would not factor into the decision because they can probably replace him pretty easily. Kendricks they won't be able to replace easily, but I guess he is a salary cap cut.

You have a friend that is a talking Eagle? Fuck that's cool
article by Dan Pizzuta of Big Blue View popped up in my phone’s news feed. Confirms what has been said earlier in this thread: an intriguing prospect who unfortunately we may not be able to afford. Link - ( New Window )
Giants have a potential out after this season on the OV contract Â
I think we have what we have minus a few league minimum tweaks here and there.
Unless they get Odell a new contract that reduces his $8 mill cap hit, or cut either Eli or Janoris post June 1 ($11 mill savings), I think they are done with mid-level to high level signings.
There are a few $1 mill contracts that can save money (i.e., Ray-Ray armstrong), but....
Probably. Cap # was $7.6M with $4.4M in savings ($7M in savings if designated June 1 cut, though not sure that's still an option).
I wouldn't go that far, but Kendricks is certainly a nice piece

still dont think it happens but it would be a real good move if we could.
Terps wouldn't like it, but they could convert some of Vernon's/Jenkin's base to a bonus and pro-rate it over their remaining years.

Worth a call.
Worst that could happen: he says no.
The $$$$,: they can find it.
Last year he played well, but the norm might be his past seasons. Eagles probably feel the same way.

Nah, he didn't play in Carolina or Denver, so he's not on our short list.
