The Eagles announced they have released veteran defensive end/outside linebacker Connor Barwin. It has long been rumored that the Eagles could cut Barwin loose. 
The Eagles first tried to find a suitable trade for Barwin, but that never came about. Barwin will certainly find a market for himself this week, but his contract was unpalatable. Barwin was in the midst of a six-year, $36MM contract he signed in 2013. Last year, the 30-year-old totaled 34 tackles, five sacks, and one forced fumble. He appeared in all 16 regular season games for the sixth consecutive season.
“If they cut him, teams will be lining up for him,” a pro personnel man said in February. “He wouldn’t be out of a job for long. I would think they could trade him and get something back. He has value. His deal this year isn’t that bad.”
By cutting Barwin, the Eagles will save $7.75MM against the cap and carry just $600K in dead money.
He’s going to the colts
This was the cost of resigning Vinny Curry last year.hopefully he finally steps up.
