revealed to reporters on Friday that he requested to be traded in the offseason. The Eagles had an option to release the sixth-year linebacker with no additional money owed, per Kendricks, but the team decided to keep him.
"It's cut and dry. That's the business. It's just like that. You tell them what you want. They either do it or they don't and you are in the contract that you signed. That's it," Kendricks said.
The starter on the weak side, Kendricks played a career-low 27 percent of the snaps in 2016 because of the prevalence of the nickel subpackage which takes him off the field.
