Eagles LB Mychal Kendricks told reporters on Friday that he asked to either be traded or released at end of last season, but was told no by the team, per Les Bowen.

Kendricks added that he hasn’t spoken to the Eagles’ front office about his situation in several months, per Jeff McLane.

The Eagles have had Kendricks on the trade block for some time with prior reports indicating that they were looking for at least a fifth-round pick in return for him. However, it appears as though the Eagles are content keeping him for the 2017 season and ensuring their linebacker depth.
